DELETE/v1/api/store/{team_slug}/setting/shipping_type/{hash_id}

v1Operation ID v1_public_shipping_type_destroy

Deletes a shipping method. It stays in the list with trashed: true and can be restored. Shipments that used it keep it.

Permission

Needs the Manage Settings permission.

Business rules

  • The default method, and the GoShippo and Shopify fulfillment methods, cannot be deleted.

Path parameters

  • team_slugstringrequired

    Your team slug, shown as Team ID next to your API key in Profile.

    • Example your-team
  • hash_idstringrequired

    The shipping method's id: a hash id from an earlier answer. Only hash ids work here; anything else answers 404 page_not_found.

    • Example 1aNKrP6pU0uytN

Request body

This operation takes no request body.

Response

200Successful response.

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.

    When
    No shipping method with that id on this team (error.code is null and error.message starts "No query results"), the id is not one of this team's hash ids, or you are not a member of the team (both page_not_found).
    Fix
    Use an id from the list operation and check the team slug.
  • 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 method is the default, or a GoShippo or Shopify fulfillment method (error.code is delete_fail).
    Fix
    Make another method the default first. YoPrint's own methods stay.
