Update texts

PATCH/settings/texts

Costs 2 rate-limit points · Rate limits

Change customer-facing texts in one locale, as the settings Translate view does: send locale and texts, a partial tree with the same paths GET /settings/texts returns (for example {"email": {"subject": "…"}, "download_page": {"texts": {"button": "…"}}}). Answers with that locale's texts after the save.

locale defaults to the shop's default language. Another locale needs multi-language on (409 multi_language_disabled). null clears a translation so buyers see the default language. The same checks as the dashboard run (email copy is spam-checked, the download button can't be blank).

Errors

401

Missing or invalid API key.

409

The request conflicts with the current state (an order Shopify is not ready to fulfil, a digital product that already exists). Nothing was changed; read the message, don't retry blindly.

422

The request failed validation, or sent a key the action does not take (code: "unknown_parameters" with unknown and accepted). Nothing was saved.

429

Rate limited. Cost-weighted per API key, shared with API v1: a read costs 1 point, a write 2, 40 points per fixed 60-second window. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset (Unix time the window ends); a 429 adds Retry-After (seconds), retry_after, retryable: true and a next_step in the body. A 429 did nothing: wait retry_after seconds, then send the same request again. The budget is per key, so every tool or script using the key shares it; prefer one list call with per_page over many single reads.

Every error has the same shape: see Errors.
