POST/v1/quotes/{quote}

Update a quote

Updates an existing quote with customer, pricing, tax, invoice, and presentation settings. Supply only the fields you want to change, and use collection_method to select automatic charging or invoice-based collection. Use expires_at to set a future Unix timestamp for cancellation while the quote is open or in draft status.

  • RetriesRetries up to 2×, 500ms backoff, 30s timeout.
  • IdempotentThe SDK sends Idempotency-Key, so a retried request is only applied once.
