This changes what your shop pays YoPrint. It acts on your YoPrint subscription, through Stripe, not on your customers' payments.
Charges the card on file for the failed renewal invoice shown by the retry preview. Send the preview's preview_id and a new operation_id; nothing else is accepted.
Billing operations. Every change is one billing operation, named by an operation_id you choose: 16 to 64 letters, digits, _ or -, new for each change. Keep it. The answer is the operation, as {"data": {...}} without success or status, and its HTTP status says where it stands:
200: done (terminal: true,outcome: succeeded). Reload the subscription.202: still settling, or it needs a recovery. Read it again withGET .../setting/subscription/operation/{operation_id}, and call.../recoverwhennext_actionisrecover.402: the payment failed (outcome: payment_failed). Follownext_action(use_different_cardorupdate_card_then_retry).422: either refused before anything happened (the error envelope, witherror.code), or the operation stopped safely (outcome: safe_failed, witherror_codeandnext_action).409: another billing operation is in progress for the team (billing_operation_conflict).503: Stripe or YoPrint's billing setup can't be reached (billing_provider_unavailable).
Never start a second change because an answer was lost or slow: read or recover the same operation_id instead, so you can't be charged twice.

Errors
401The API key is missing or wrong (
unauthenticated).402The provider declined payment and the terminal operation records the outcome.
- When
- The card was declined again (
outcome: payment_failed). - Fix
- Follow
next_action: replace the card, then retry.
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.- When
- You are not the owner and your role lacks Manage Billing. The body is
{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}, without the error envelope. - Fix
- Use the owner's key, or that of a member with Manage Billing.
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.409A different billing operation owns the team lifecycle or frozen state changed.
- When
- Another billing operation is in progress (
billing_operation_conflict). - Fix
- Wait, then read the preview again.
422Validation failed or a terminal safe failure was recorded.
- When
- Refused before any charge: other fields (
invalid_payment_retry_context), a missing or malformedpreview_id(validation_failed,payment_retry_preview_required), or a retry limit (payment_retry_limit_reached,payment_retry_rate_limited). - Fix
- Send only
operation_idandpreview_idfrom a fresh preview. - When
- The invoice, card or Stripe state changed since the preview: the operation stops safely (
outcome: safe_failed,error_codesuch aspayment_retry_preview_changed,next_action: start_new_operation). If the charge had already been sent, it answers 202 withnext_action: recoverinstead. - Fix
- Read the preview again and retry with its new
preview_idand a newoperation_id.
503Billing provider configuration or readback is temporarily unavailable.
- When
- Billing is temporarily unavailable (
billing_provider_unavailable). - Fix
- Read the operation again later.
Notes
- Part of your YoPrint subscription: what your shop pays YoPrint, not your customers' payments.
- AI apps (MCP connections) can't call this operation: they get 403
agent_operation_not_available. Use a personal API key.
