Create a currency

POST/v1/api/store/{team_slug}/setting/currency

v1Operation ID v1_public_currency_store

Adds a currency and returns it. It becomes the default only when the team has no currency yet.

YoPrint works in one currency per team: the default currency. Its symbol appears on PDFs, emails and formatted amounts (such as formatted_calc_total), and its iso code is sent to integrations such as QuickBooks and Shopify. A new sales order records the default currency when it is created, and YoPrint doesn't convert between currencies.

The team's first currency is its default. No operation changes the default: default in a request is ignored.

Errors

• 401The API key is missing or wrong (unauthenticated).

  When

  The API key is missing or wrong.

  Fix

  Send your personal API key as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.

• 403You are not allowed to do this. api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only {"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, with unauthorized or user_is_not_authorized.

  When

  Your permission group lacks Manage Settings. This 403 has a short body, {"message": "Insufficient Permission"}, without success or error.

  Fix

  Ask the team owner to give your permission group Manage Settings.

• 404Not found. page_not_found: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. code: null, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.

• 422The request was refused and changed nothing. validation_failed lists what to fix in error.fields; other codes name a business rule, explained in error.message. A few checks answer with only {"message": "..."}. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answer connect_timeout ("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.

  When

  A required field is missing, iso is not 3 characters, or rate is 0 or less. error.code is validation_failed, and error.fields names each field with its messages.

  Fix

  Fix the fields listed in error.fields and send the request again.

Notes

• Adding a currency changes nothing else: amounts keep using the default currency.
