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.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
- Another order's payment, a record that isn't a card payment, a Charge It Pro payment or a Customer Portal payment its provider can't refund (
refund_failed); a payment from Customer Portal credit (customer_payment_parent_refund_required). - Fix
- Check the payment, or refund it in the provider's dashboard and record it with Record a refund.
- When
- The provider refused (
refund_processing_failed). For Stripe the message says why (for example a disputed charge, or more than is left to refund) anderror.datahasproviderstripeandprovider_error_code. - Fix
- Read the message; check the payment in the provider's dashboard.
- When
- A payment is frozen by an open dispute or review (
customer_payment_disputed_funds_unavailableorinvoice_payment_funding_withheld, witherror.reason). - Fix
- Wait for the provider's decision, then try again.
- When
- An Authorize.Net payment that hasn't settled (
invoice_payment_refund_requires_settlement,invoice_payment_refund_provider_state_invalid), or the Customer Portal payment's provider account changed (invoice_payment_provider_identity_mismatch). - Fix
- Wait for settlement, or refund it in the provider's dashboard.
- When
- More than the payment can refund (
validation_error, "Refund Amount greater than what payment can be refunded"). This is found after the provider refunded: check the provider before you do anything else. - Fix
- Refund at most the payment's
refundable_amountplus unspent credit issued from it.
500A business rule refused the request (see the operation's errors), or something failed inside YoPrint. Refusals use the error envelope with a code such as
action_not_allowed; an unexpected failure answers{"message": "Server Error"}. Repeating a refusal gets the same answer; after an unexpected failure, read the record back before you retry a change.- When
- No
amount, an id that is no record of the team, or a payment through the old Square connection ({"message": "Server Error"}). - Fix
- Send
