# Update delivery

`PATCH https://app.stoqapp.com/api/v2/external/back_in_stock/settings/delivery`

Update back-in-stock delivery settings (batching, stock threshold, locations, any-variant, password-protected sending, alerts on publish). Market setup and market-based alerts are [`PATCH /account/markets`](https://docs.stoqapp.com/v2-reference/account-markets/update-a-market/).

**Note:** Deep partial. Toggles set via this PATCH: batching.enabled, locations.filter_enabled, any_variant.enabled: e.g. { batching: { enabled: true } }. batching.mode is an enum: 'multiplier' (batch size = restocked quantity x batching.multiplier) or 'fixed' (batch size = batching.batch_size); batching.wait_hours is the wait between batches. stock_threshold is the minimum restocked quantity before notifications send (>= 1). any_variant.all_products is a boolean: when true, any-variant alerts apply to every product and any_variant.product_ids is ignored; when false, only the listed products qualify. locations.shopify_location_ids and any_variant.shopify_product_ids are arrays of Shopify gids and are replaced wholesale when present. send_while_password_protected is a boolean: false (default) holds back-in-stock alerts while the storefront password is on (signups stay pending for the next restock); true sends anyway. alert_on_publish also alerts when a product is published.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string): A fresh unique key for every write (a new UUID, say); reuse it only to retry that write. Keys are remembered for 1 hour: the same key and the same request within that hour returns the first result, with `Idempotent-Replayed: true`, without running again; the same key with a different method, path or body is refused (422 `idempotency_key_reused`); a retry while the first is still running gets 409 `idempotency_key_in_progress`. Keys are per store. Server errors and rate limits are not kept, so their retry runs.

## Request body

- `batching` (string): e.g. `string`
- `stock_threshold` (string): e.g. `string`
- `locations` (string): e.g. `string`
- `any_variant` (string): e.g. `string`
- `send_while_password_protected` (string): e.g. `string`
- `alert_on_publish` (string): e.g. `string`

Rate limit: this call costs 2 points ([rate limits](https://docs.stoqapp.com/docs/rate-limits/)).
