DELETE/
Deletes an order approval that is not completed yet. A completed approval can't be deleted: the call fails. {hash_id2} is the approval's id. {hash_id} is the order's id (for example V4keXwwxMQyXw7); the ord_ unique key is not accepted here.
Business rules
- Only approvals that are not completed. Shopify orders refuse approval changes.
- An old (version 1) order answers 404 here, as an unknown order does.
Side effects
- Customer Portal pages the order's customer has open refresh (a live update, not an email).
Path parameters

Request body
This operation takes no request body.
Response
200Successful response.
No data.
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 order or approval isn't found, or the order is an old (version 1) order.
- Fix
- Use a current sales order's or quote's
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
- A Shopify order: "Shopify orders do not support approval workflows in YoPrint."
- Fix
- Shopify orders have no approvals.
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
- The approval is completed (an error with no code).
- Fix
- Leave completed approvals in place.
