Changes a single variant of a product you own. A strict allow-list of five fields – attribute1Choice, attribute2Choice, attribute3Choice, location and weight. Every field is optional; omitting one leaves it unchanged, and there is no way to send a field that is not on the list.

This endpoint reaches far less of a typical catalog than its path suggests, and that is a property of the upstream data model rather than a limitation we can lift. Only site-owned (SLO_) products have a variant that can be addressed for one site. Both share-backed (SLS_) and print-on-demand products publish a variantId drawn from a different identifier space – one shared with every other site the same master product is shared to. Changing it for you would change it for them, so those targets are refused with 422 variant_not_site_addressable before any write is attempted. On a representative partner catalog the large majority of products fall into that category, so expect this endpoint to apply to a minority of your products and use PATCH /v1/products/{productId} for the product-level fields, which remain writable in every case.

Print-on-demand products publish variantId: null in GET /v1/products/{productId}; there is no variant id to send, and a non-positive one is rejected as invalid_variant_id.

The response is the whole product, re-read after the write – a variant is not independently readable through this API, so the product detail is the only honest representation of what now stands.

Parameters

Path Parameters

productId

required

string

/^(SLO|SLS)_\d{1,18}$/

The SLO_-prefixed identifier of the product that owns this variant.

variantId

required

integer format: int64

>= 1

A variantId from this product’s variants array in GET /v1/products/{productId}. Must belong to that product and must be positive.

Request Body^required

Media typeapplication/json

PATCH /v1/products/{productId}/variants/{variantId} – a strict allow-list of five fields. Every field is optional and an omitted field is left unchanged, but the object must not be empty, and any property not listed here is refused by name with 400 invalid_variant_patch rather than ignored.

A null clears one of the three attribute choices or location. A null on weight is refused with null_not_supported – it is set, not cleared.

Not writable on a variant, and refused by name so the reason is visible rather than mysterious: price and segmentCode; warehouseManaged, zeroOutInventory and reasonForAdjustment (inventory is read-only through this API); sku and availableInventory; and sequence and enabled, which the upstream system writes through separate operations this API does not expose.

object

>= 1 properties

attribute1Choice

This variant’s value for the product’s first variant attribute. The attribute’s name is attributes[0].name in GET /v1/products/{productId}.

string

nullable

attribute2Choice

This variant’s value for the product’s second variant attribute.

string

nullable

attribute3Choice

This variant’s value for the product’s third variant attribute.

string

nullable

location

Free-text warehouse location (bin, shelf or aisle) for this variant.

string

nullable

weight

Shipping weight for this variant, in the catalog’s own unit. Must not be negative; 0 is accepted and means zero weight, not “unset”.

number

Examples

Move the variant to a different warehouse location

{
  "location": "A-12-3"
}

Correct the variant's attribute choices and weight

{
  "attribute1Choice": "White",
  "weight": 0.012
}

Responses

The product as it now stands, re-read after the write, plus unappliedFields.

Media typeapplication/json

object

productId

required

The identifier passed in the path. See Product.productId.

string

siteId

required

The granted site this product belongs to.

integer

name

required

string

description

required

For an SLS_ product this is the value the storefront shows: the SHARE’s own copy when it overrides the master system offering’s display fields, otherwise the MASTER’s. Resolved by this API rather than read straight from the catalog view, which applies that rule to a warehoused share and not to a print-on-demand one.

string | null

serviceType

required

STOCK, POD, or DIGITAL. Only the first two are orderable through this API; a DIGITAL product is listed (it is catalog) but never orderable.

string

Allowed values: STOCK POD DIGITAL

shippable

required

boolean

updatedOn

required

The MAX updatedOn across this product’s variants, so a change to any one of them moves it, not just a change to the first.

string format: date-time

artworkSource

Product-level, like serviceType/shippable above – not per-variant. See Product.artworkSource.

string | null

Allowed values: USER_UPLOAD STORED TEMPLATE PLUGIN

productStatus

required

Always ACTIVE today. See Product.productStatus.

string

visibility

required

Product-level, shared by every variant. See Product.visibility.

string

Allowed values: HIDDEN VISIBLE_TO_ALL VISIBLE_TO_SOME

orderable

required

Product-level – its inputs (fulfillment center, service type, visibility) are all offering-level, so every variant shares it. See Product.orderable.

boolean

namePlural

required

The plural display name, when the site has set one.

string | null

excerpt

required

Short storefront blurb, when set.

string | null

metaDescription

required

SEO meta description, when set. For an SLS_ product this is the master system offering’s unless the share overrides the master’s display fields – the same inheritance description documents, and the same values the storefront renders.

string | null

metaKeywords

required

SEO meta keywords, when set. Inherited from the master system offering on the same rule as metaDescription.

string | null

urlPattern

required

The storefront URL slug, when set.

string | null

excludeFromSearch

required

Whether the site excludes this product from storefront search.

boolean

imageUrl

required

Fully-qualified URL of the product’s PRIMARY image. See Product.imageUrl.

string | null

thumbnailUrl

required

Fully-qualified URL of the primary image’s thumbnail, or null.

string | null

overrideDisplay

required

Whether a share-backed (SLS_) product overrides the master product’s display fields, or null on a site-owned (SLO_) product, which has no master and no override mechanism at all.

One flag covers several fields. false means description, metaDescription, metaKeywords and the thumbnail fields are all INHERITED from the master, and the values published here are the inherited ones – the same values the storefront shows. true means this share’s own values stand. There is no per-field inheritance, and writing one of those fields does not change the flag.

boolean | null

requiresApproval

required

Whether the site requires an approval step before this product’s orders proceed.

boolean

supplierReference

required

The site’s own supplier reference for this product, when set.

string | null

fulfillmentCenterName

required

The fulfillment center this product ships from, by name, or null when none is assigned – in which case the product is never orderable.

string | null

stockUnitOfMeasure

required

The unit the inventory fields count in (e.g. EA), when set.

string | null

segments

required

The segments this product is assigned to – what visibility: VISIBLE_TO_SOME gates on – ordered by name. Sourced from the segment assignments themselves, never from the catalog view’s denormalised (and unreliable) segment code column. [] means no assignments, which only matters when visibility consults them.

Array<object>

One segment assignment within ProductDetail.segments: the id and name only. The segmentId is the same id GET /v1/segments lists, and that endpoint carries each segment’s description – the vocabulary belongs there, not repeated on every product assigned to it.

object

segmentId

required

integer

name

required

string

variants

required

Array<object>

One variant within ProductDetail.variants – everything about a variant of GET /v1/products/{productId}’s product that is NOT shared with its other variants. weight is the same decimal-string field Product.weight publishes, unchanged.

object

variantId

required

The specific variant, or null for a POD product, which has no variant until the job is configured. Send it back exactly as received, null included, on an order line – see Product.variantId.

integer | null

sku

required

null for a POD product, which has no SKU.

string | null

availableInventory

required

Stock on hand, or null when untracked. See Product.availableInventory.

integer | null

inventoryTracked

required

Whether availableInventory means anything. See Product.inventoryTracked.

boolean

minQuantity

required

Minimum orderable quantity, or null for no minimum.

integer | null

maxQuantity

required

Maximum orderable quantity, or null for no maximum.

integer | null

weight

required

Per-unit weight as a decimal string, or null for a POD product, which has none until the job is configured. See Product.weight.

string | null

attributes

required

This variant’s attribute pairs. See Product.attributes.

Array<object>

One attribute pair of a variant. Both sides are always present – incomplete pairs are not published.

object

name

required

The attribute’s name, e.g. Color.

string

choice

required

This variant’s choice for it, e.g. White.

string

actualInventory

required

On-hand stock before reservations and backorders, or null when untracked – all four inventory fields are null together. See Product.actualInventory.

integer | null

reservedInventory

required

Stock reserved by open orders, or null when untracked.

integer | null

backorderInventory

required

Quantity on backorder, or null when untracked.

integer | null

defaultQuantity

required

The quantity the storefront pre-fills, when one is set.

Null for every STOCK product, always – there is no such setting on a stock product upstream, so this is not a gap in your data. On POD products it is derived from the pricing configuration, which this API does not expose. It is read-only and cannot be written through PATCH /v1/products/{productId}.

integer | null

unappliedFields

required

Fields you asked to change whose value did not move. Always empty on this endpoint today – none of the five writable variant fields is one the upstream system accepts and then silently drops. Published so the response keeps the same shape as PATCH /v1/products/{productId}.

Array<string>

Example

{
  "serviceType": "STOCK",
  "artworkSource": "USER_UPLOAD",
  "visibility": "HIDDEN"
}

400

The body is empty, names a field that is not writable on a variant, or gives one the wrong type; or the productId/variantId path segment is malformed; or the upstream system rejected the change.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code	HTTP status	Meaning	Retry?
invalid_cursor	400	The cursor query parameter could not be decoded.	No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id	400	The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which.	No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number	400	The order number in the path is not a positive integer.	No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id	400	The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape.	No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type	400	GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD).	No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported	400	An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above.	No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request	400	POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation.	No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id	400	The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID.	No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity	400	The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request	400	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number	400	The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id.	No – fix the path.
invalid_token	401	The credential is missing, expired, or invalid.	No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope	403	The token lacks the scope required for this operation.	No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found	404	No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above).	No.
order_item_not_found	404	No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically.	No.
product_not_found	404	No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found).	No.
quote_product_not_found	404	The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare.	No.
template_not_found	404	GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically.	No.
submission_not_found	404	No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically.	No.
ordering_not_provisioned	409	POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves.	No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused	409	POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order.	No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success.	No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided.	No.
quote_invalid	422	Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message.	No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises.	No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries.	No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not.	No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available	422	POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here.	No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded	429	Rate limit or daily quota exceeded.	Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error	500	Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error.	No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable	503	Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran.	Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.

  "requestId": "8f3c1e2a-..."
}

401

Missing, expired, or otherwise invalid credential. Not retryable as-is.

Produced by the API gateway’s authorizer, before the request reaches any application code, so every cause – no Authorization header, a malformed one, a token that is expired, wrongly signed, from the wrong pool, or belongs to a credential that has been disabled – yields this identical response. The gateway is configured to answer in the same application/problem+json shape as everything else, so you do not need a second parser for this status; what it cannot do is tell you which of those causes applied.

string

Example

{
  "type": "about:blank",
  "title": "Unauthorized",
  "status": 401,
  "code": "invalid_token",
  "detail": "The credential presented with this request is missing, expired, or invalid.",
  "requestId": "8f3c1e2a-..."
}

403

The credential is valid but lacks the scope required for this operation (for example, a token minted without partner-api/orders:read). Not retryable as-is – request a token with the required scope. Not to be confused with an out-of-scope order, which is a 404 (see above), or with the edge firewall’s 403 on /ping, which carries no problem document at all.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code	HTTP status	Meaning	Retry?
invalid_cursor	400	The cursor query parameter could not be decoded.	No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id	400	The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which.	No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number	400	The order number in the path is not a positive integer.	No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id	400	The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape.	No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type	400	GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD).	No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported	400	An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above.	No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request	400	POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation.	No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id	400	The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID.	No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity	400	The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request	400	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number	400	The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id.	No – fix the path.
invalid_token	401	The credential is missing, expired, or invalid.	No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope	403	The token lacks the scope required for this operation.	No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found	404	No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above).	No.
order_item_not_found	404	No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically.	No.
product_not_found	404	No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found).	No.
quote_product_not_found	404	The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare.	No.
template_not_found	404	GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically.	No.
submission_not_found	404	No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically.	No.
ordering_not_provisioned	409	POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves.	No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused	409	POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order.	No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success.	No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided.	No.
quote_invalid	422	Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message.	No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises.	No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries.	No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not.	No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available	422	POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here.	No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded	429	Rate limit or daily quota exceeded.	Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error	500	Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error.	No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable	503	Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran.	Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.

This product’s variant is not addressable for a single site – it is share-backed (SLS_) or print-on-demand, so changing the variant would change it for every other site sharing the same master product.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code	HTTP status	Meaning	Retry?
invalid_cursor	400	The cursor query parameter could not be decoded.	No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id	400	The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which.	No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number	400	The order number in the path is not a positive integer.	No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id	400	The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape.	No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type	400	GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD).	No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported	400	An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above.	No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request	400	POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation.	No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id	400	The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID.	No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity	400	The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request	400	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number	400	The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id.	No – fix the path.
invalid_token	401	The credential is missing, expired, or invalid.	No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope	403	The token lacks the scope required for this operation.	No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found	404	No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above).	No.
order_item_not_found	404	No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically.	No.
product_not_found	404	No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found).	No.
quote_product_not_found	404	The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare.	No.
template_not_found	404	GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically.	No.
submission_not_found	404	No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically.	No.
ordering_not_provisioned	409	POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves.	No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused	409	POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order.	No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success.	No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided.	No.
quote_invalid	422	Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message.	No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises.	No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries.	No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not.	No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available	422	POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here.	No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded	429	Rate limit or daily quota exceeded.	Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error	500	Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error.	No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable	503	Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran.	Yes, with backoff.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.

429

Your rate limit or daily quota was exceeded. Retryable – honor the Retry-After header (seconds) before your next attempt.

Like the 401, this comes from the gateway’s usage plan rather than from application code, and is configured to carry the same problem document as every other error so a single parser covers the whole API.

The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem document.

string

requestId

required

Echoes the request’s id. Include this when contacting Partner Integrations about a specific failed call – it resolves directly to one log entry.

Example

{
  "type": "about:blank",
  "title": "Internal Server Error",
  "status": 500,
  "code": "internal_error",
  "detail": "An unexpected error occurred.",
  "requestId": "8f3c1e2a-..."
}

503

Transient failure in the service or the database it reads from (for example, the Aurora reader could not be reached in time), or the request never reached application code at all because the Lambda behind it crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit. Retryable, with backoff.

Media typeapplication/problem+json

RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable, machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.

This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below, and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

Published code values:

code	HTTP status	Meaning	Retry?
invalid_cursor	400	The cursor query parameter could not be decoded.	No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value.
invalid_site_id	400	The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which.	No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds.
invalid_order_number	400	The order number in the path is not a positive integer.	No – fix the path.
invalid_product_id	400	The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape.	No – fix the path.
invalid_service_type	400	GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD).	No – fix the parameter.
updated_since_not_supported	400	An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above.	No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to.
invalid_request	400	POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation.	No – fix the request.
invalid_submission_id	400	The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID.	No – fix the path.
invalid_quantity	400	The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_shipping_quote_request	400	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field.	No – fix the request body.
invalid_item_number	400	The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id.	No – fix the path.
invalid_token	401	The credential is missing, expired, or invalid.	No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential.
insufficient_scope	403	The token lacks the scope required for this operation.	No – mint a token with the required scope.
order_not_found	404	No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above).	No.
order_item_not_found	404	No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically.	No.
product_not_found	404	No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found).	No.
quote_product_not_found	404	The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare.	No.
template_not_found	404	GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically.	No.
submission_not_found	404	No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically.	No.
ordering_not_provisioned	409	POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves.	No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry.
partner_order_id_reused	409	POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order.	No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission.
proof_not_pending_review	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success.	No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
order_item_cancelled	409	A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided.	No.
quote_invalid	422	Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message.	No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity).
unknown_country_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises.	No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …).
unknown_state_code	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries.	No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to.
shipping_quote_unavailable	422	POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not.	No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200.
denial_reason_not_available	422	POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here.	No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line.
rate_limit_exceeded	429	Rate limit or daily quota exceeded.	Yes – honor Retry-After.
internal_error	500	Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error.	No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations.
service_unavailable	503	Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran.	Yes, with backoff.
