GET/
Returns what you need to build an Update a payment link body: the link with its allocated_transactions (state existing, each with its allocation id), plus unallocated_transactions: every payment on the order that still has money to allocate (state new, transaction_id, unallocated_amount, invoice_id null and a zero total).
To edit: change total on existing rows and mark them update or delete; fill invoice_id and total on new rows and mark them create. Amounts in allocations must use exactly 3 decimal places (dp: 3):
- Correct:
{ "value": 12500, "dp": 3 }for 12.50. - Wrong:
{ "value": 1250, "dp": 2 }— the server always interpretsvalueas thousandths (scale 3), which would mean 1.250, and validation requiresdp: 3.
In answers, the link's own total uses 4 decimal places ({ "value": 175000, "dp": 4 } is 17.50): always read each pair's dp.

Errors
401The API key is missing or wrong (
unauthenticated).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, withunauthorizedoruser_is_not_authorized.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.- When
- The link isn't your team's.
- Fix
- Check the id.
422The request was refused and changed nothing.
validation_failedlists what to fix inerror.fields; other codes name a business rule, explained inerror.message. A few checks answer with only{"message": "..."}. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answerconnect_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
- The order came from Shopify and was deleted there (
shopify_order_deleted_externally). - Fix
- Only local cleanup is allowed on that order.
