• Production API

Stops settling the property’s card payments to the account (close_merchant_account); the property then opens another or charges on the platform’s own account again. Then rejects the account at Stripe (reason=other), which Stripe admits only once its balance is zero: until the hotel’s last payout has landed the answer is 409 merchant_account_not_rejected with the account already closed here, and the operator closes it again later. Terminal, and idempotent. Operator only (tenant_admin:write).

Headers

Cache-Control

string

Always no-store. Object and link state is live data and is never cacheable.

403

The bearer authenticated but does not hold the scope this operation requires.

Media typeapplication/json

Structured error wrapper. Every non-2xx response from any Aerandil endpoint serialises to this shape; the HTTP status carries the failure class (4xx/5xx), the body adds a stable code for programmatic dispatch plus a human-readable message.

object

error

required

object

code

required

Stable, programmatic error code (e.g. unauthorized, forbidden, not_found, invalid_body, invalid_url, precondition_failed, no_secondary_key). Clients dispatch on code, not on the message (which may be localised or contextualised in future versions).

string

instance_id

Request-id correlation handle echoed on the request-id response header — support teams correlate without scraping logs.

string

message

required

Human-readable explanation of the failure.

string

parameters

Per-error structured detail. The shape varies by code (e.g. forbidden_action carries {"action": "..."}; precondition_failed carries {"current_version": N}).

Example^generated

{
  "error": {
    "code": "example",
    "instance_id": "example",
    "message": "example",
    "parameters": "example"
  }
}

No such object in the caller’s tenant — which is also the answer when it exists in another tenant, by design.

409

merchant_account_not_rejected — closed here, but Stripe refused to reject the account (most often: its balance has not yet paid out). Close it again later.

rail_unavailable — the card processor could not be reached (a transport failure, a 5xx, a 429, or this request’s key still running at the processor). The closure is finished later. Try again after Retry-After.
