Can you share the ID (req_xxx) of the failing API request? https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
stray prism
sure! req_UlRuFqAtqRCVzU
iron spear
You need to pass a boolean: https://stripe.com/docs/api/prices/update#update_price-transfer_lookup_key
Not the old price_xxx
stray prism
ohhhhhhhh 🤦♂️
how does it know which price to transfer it to?
do I do this with the new price id?
iron spear
It's transferring it to the Price object you're updating. So in the request you've shared, price_1JkpglFXX7EwAD2MMSoMkXFg
So you actually need to update price_1LScreFXX7EwAD2M1vOM7ImQ
and pass transfer_lookup_key=true
stray prism
okay! I erroneously thought each price had a lookup id, but this belongs to the product then I reckon!
thanks a bunch! 🙂
iron spear
There's no lookup_key on the Product object. I'm confused
stray prism
I am too 🤣 well, how does it know what price to transfer the lookup_key from/to?
the docs say:
If set to true, will atomically remove the lookup key from the existing price, and assign it to this price.
it doesn't say what "the existing price" means
iron spear
Well, lookup_key is unique so we just know which Price object to transfer it from
stray prism
right, so that means the lookup key needs to be provided as well in the request?
iron spear
Yes
stray prism
gotcha. that was incredibly unclear by only looking at the documentation
thank you for clearing things up! the correct command is then:
stripe prices update price_1LScreFXX7EwAD2M1vOM7ImQ \
-d "lookup_key"=my_lookup_key \
-d "transfer_lookup_key"=true
Perfect!
