Shipping: probes the merchant's bound provider and reports whether it answered.

POST /api/merchants/{id}/shipping-bindings/{providerName}/test-connection deprecated

Requires: Merchants.Merchants.Update, merchant scope.

Requires API key scope: admin (Administration)

The probe never requests a rate: it runs the provider's connectivity tester, which is credential-scoped and takes no lane or parcel. It carries back no vendor response body and no credential material. A candidate body is used for the probe and nothing else: it is never persisted, never logged, and never echoed in the response.

Signed in, you can send this request to your own sandbox merchant from the console and read the answer. Sign in to try it.

Example request

Every block below sends the same request. Replace {{BASE_URL}} with the address of the API you are calling and {{API_KEY}} with your own key.

The request body is a MerchantShippingBinding. See the Request body section below for its fields.

Parameters

Name In Type Description

id required

path

string (uuid)

The merchant id.

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

providerName required

path

string

The provider to probe.

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

suppressNulls required

query

boolean

If true, omit properties with null values.

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

Request body

application/json , required

Field Type Description

providerName required

string

Which shipping provider this entry binds the merchant to, by the provider's registered name. Compared case-insensitively. A null or blank provider is treated as no binding at all, so an incompletely boarded row cannot silently become a live selection. Required: When IsEnabled is true. nullablemax length 64

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

isEnabled required

boolean

Master enable flag for this provider on this merchant. When `false` or null, the selector must not return this binding even though the row exists. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

credentialSource required

ProviderCredentialSource ProviderCredentialSource

Whose provider account the quotes are billed to. Null reads as `Gateway`. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

`Gateway`	The gateway's own provider account. The binding stores no credential of its own: the values are filled in at read time from the host-scoped provider settings, and the merchant surfaces never carry them. This is what a null credential source reads as, which is the safe default: a half-completed row cannot accidentally claim to hold the merchant's own contract.
`Merchant`	The merchant's own provider account. The binding carries the credentials, with every secret value held as ciphertext and stripped on any read that leaves the server.

fieldValues required

array of ShippingBindingFieldValue array of ShippingBindingFieldValue

The provider-declared configuration values for this merchant, keyed by the setting names the provider declares. For a provider whose gateway credentials are platform-wide settings, the keys are those same setting names, so one name identifies a credential whoever holds it. <b>Secret values are stored encrypted</b> and are stripped, not decrypted, on every read that leaves the server: the admin UI and the API both see null and re-send a secret only when the operator changes it. Only the server-side call to the provider ever uses the plaintext. Empty for a `Gateway` binding, whose values are filled in at read time from the host-scoped provider settings instead. A gateway-sourced row that carried values would be a copy of the gateway's token living on a merchant document. Conditional: When FieldValues is not null. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

Fields of each ShippingBindingFieldValue:

Field Type Description

key required

string

The provider setting name this value belongs to, matching a setting field definition the provider's contributor declares. Compared case-insensitively. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

value required

string

The configured value. Ciphertext at rest whenever `isSecret` is `true`, and `null` on every read that leaves the server. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

isSecret required

boolean

Whether `value` is credential material, and so held encrypted and stripped on read. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

isConfigured required

boolean

Whether a secret value is stored, set on reads so an operator can tell a configured secret from an empty one without the value ever being sent. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

Body: ShippingBindingConnectionTestResultDto ShippingBindingConnectionTestResultDto Each item has these fields.

Field Type Description

succeeded required

boolean

Gets or sets whether the provider answered the probe.

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

message required

string

Gets or sets a short explanation of the outcome, safe to show an operator. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

steps required

array of ConnectionTestStepDto array of ConnectionTestStepDto

Gets or sets the steps the test ran, in order, the same shape the tax, payment encryption and 3-D Secure tests report. The platform always sends a list, empty when the test ran nothing; the published schema still marks it nullable, as it does every array, so a generated client should guard as it would any other. `succeeded` and `message` are not derived from this list and keep their meaning for a caller that reads only them. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

Fields of each ConnectionTestStepDto:

Field Type Description

name required

string

Gets or sets what the step checked, phrased for the operator. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

outcome required

ConnectionTestStepOutcome ConnectionTestStepOutcome

Gets or sets the verdict.

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

`Passed`	The step ran and the thing it checks is good to go.
`Failed`	The step ran and the thing it checks is not usable as configured.
`Skipped`	The step did not run, because a gate is closed or an earlier step made it moot. The result says nothing about what it would have found.
`Warning`	The step passed, and the detail is worth reading before trusting the configuration.

detail required

string

Gets or sets an optional second line, safe to show an operator: why a step was skipped, or what a failed one found. nullable

Values: Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.

duration required

string (date-span)

Gets or sets how long the step took, when it was timed. Written as [-][d.]hh:mm:ss[.fffffff], for example 00:00:01.2500000; the seven-digit fraction of a second appears only when it is non-zero. Not an ISO 8601 duration. nullablepattern ^-?(\d{1,8}\.)?([01]\d|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d(\.\d{7})?$

429 The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause.
