# Activate order creation

`POST /tenants/activate`

OMS API, OMS Addon.

Starts turning successful payments into orders by ensuring the ODUS webhook subscriber that feeds the OMS is active — creating it on first activation, unarchiving it after a pause. The tenant environment itself is provisioned lazily: a first call on a never-provisioned merchant answers `202` while the environment is created, and succeeds once it is ready. Idempotent.

**Authentication:** Send `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Either an identity token issued by the auth service (dashboard flow; requires the selected merchant account id in the `X-Odus-Merchant` header), or a merchant secret key (`sk_...`) for server-to-server calls. Both are sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.

## Responses

### `200`

Type: object (TenantStatusDTO).

- `enabled` (boolean, required): Whether order creation from payments is currently active for the merchant — the merchant's own Activate/Pause switch. Independent of the OMS UI, which stays available (entitlement permitting) while order creation is paused or degraded. Example: `true`.
- `entitlement` (string, required): The merchant account's entitlement to the `oms` product. This — not `enabled` — is what decides whether the OMS surface is offered at all: entitlement says whether the account may use the OMS, `enabled` whether order creation is currently running. Only `active` permits activating — `suspended` and `none` mean the addon cannot be activated no matter what the caller does, so clients should explain that (entitlements are granted by staff) rather than offer an activate action. `unknown` means this request path resolved no verdict (machine-to-machine secret keys, which are entitlement-checked separately) and must not be read as a denial. One of `active`, `suspended`, `none`, `unknown`. Example: `active`.

### `202`

The merchant is entitled but its OMS environment is not provisioned yet. Provisioning has been kicked off (exactly once) and is in progress; retry the request — it succeeds once the environment is ready. Returned only for identity-token (dashboard) requests bound to an active-entitled merchant, not for secret-key API calls; any such endpoint can return it while provisioning is underway.

Type: object (ProvisioningInProgress).

- `status` (string, required): Signals the merchant OMS environment is still being provisioned. One of `provisioning`.
- `merchantAccountId` (string, required): The merchant account whose OMS environment is being provisioned. Example: `dAI3aa87ROOeupeBCjNSKCOBOisBCYjB`.

### `401`

No credentials were supplied, or the identity token / secret key is not valid for the target merchant. `type` is `authentication_error`.

Type: object (ErrorResponse).

- `statusCode` (number, required): HTTP status code. Example: `400`.
- `requestId` (string, required): Unique identifier for the request. Example: `dfc10de3-36bb-4bcc-b081-316216194033`.
- `message` (string, required): Human-readable description of the failure. Example: `An error occurred`.
- `type` (string, required): Coarse, stable classifier for the failure. Present on every error response including 5xx. This is the field to branch on: `statusCode` is too coarse and `message` is human prose that may be reworded. The set is closed and every member is permanent, so it is safe to handle exhaustively. One of `invalid_request_error`, `authentication_error`, `permission_error`, `not_found_error`, `invalid_state_error`, `conflict_error`, `rate_limit_error`, `payment_error`, `api_error`. Example: `invalid_request_error`.
- `code` (string): Fine-grained identifier for the failure, present only where it adds something `type` does not — for example separating a replayed idempotency key from a held lock, or naming the reason a payment was declined. The set is open and grows over time, so treat an unrecognised value as absent and fall back to `type`. Example: `validation_failed`.

### `403`

The credentials are valid but lack the permission this operation requires. `type` is `permission_error`.

Type: object (ErrorResponse).

- `statusCode` (number, required): HTTP status code. Example: `400`.
- `requestId` (string, required): Unique identifier for the request. Example: `dfc10de3-36bb-4bcc-b081-316216194033`.
- `message` (string, required): Human-readable description of the failure. Example: `An error occurred`.
- `type` (string, required): Coarse, stable classifier for the failure. Present on every error response including 5xx. This is the field to branch on: `statusCode` is too coarse and `message` is human prose that may be reworded. The set is closed and every member is permanent, so it is safe to handle exhaustively. One of `invalid_request_error`, `authentication_error`, `permission_error`, `not_found_error`, `invalid_state_error`, `conflict_error`, `rate_limit_error`, `payment_error`, `api_error`. Example: `invalid_request_error`.
- `code` (string): Fine-grained identifier for the failure, present only where it adds something `type` does not — for example separating a replayed idempotency key from a held lock, or naming the reason a payment was declined. The set is open and grows over time, so treat an unrecognised value as absent and fall back to `type`. Example: `validation_failed`.

### `429`

Too many requests. The rate limit is applied per client across all operations. `type` is `rate_limit_error`.

Type: object (ErrorResponse).

- `statusCode` (number, required): HTTP status code. Example: `400`.
- `requestId` (string, required): Unique identifier for the request. Example: `dfc10de3-36bb-4bcc-b081-316216194033`.
- `message` (string, required): Human-readable description of the failure. Example: `An error occurred`.

This is the field to branch on: `statusCode` is too coarse and `message` is human prose that may be reworded. The set is closed and every member is permanent, so it is safe to handle exhaustively. One of `invalid_request_error`, `authentication_error`, `permission_error`, `not_found_error`, `invalid_state_error`, `conflict_error`, `rate_limit_error`, `payment_error`, `api_error`. Example: `invalid_request_error`.
- `code` (string): Fine-grained identifier for the failure, present only where it adds something `type` does not — for example separating a replayed idempotency key from a held lock, or naming the reason a payment was declined. The set is open and grows over time, so treat an unrecognised value as absent and fall back to `type`. Example: `validation_failed`.

### `500`

The request could not be completed because of an unexpected error. `type` is `api_error`.

Type: object (ErrorResponse).

- `statusCode` (number, required): HTTP status code. Example: `400`.
- `requestId` (string, required): Unique identifier for the request. Example: `dfc10de3-36bb-4bcc-b081-316216194033`.

The set is open and grows over time, so treat an unrecognised value as absent and fall back to `type`. Example: `validation_failed`.

### `503`

A dependency needed to serve the request is temporarily unavailable — for every operation the auth service that verifies credentials and resolves entitlement, and on the provisioning routes also the ODUS API the OMS reconciles against. `type` is `api_error`. Unlike a plain 500 the condition is transient rather than a fault in the request, so it is worth retrying with backoff.

Type: object (ErrorResponse).

- `statusCode` (number, required): HTTP status code. Example: `400`.
- `requestId` (string, required): Unique identifier for the request. Example: `dfc10de3-36bb-4bcc-b081-316216194033`.
- `message` (string, required): Human-readable description of the failure. Example: `An error occurred`.
- `type` (string, required): Coarse, stable classifier for the failure. Present on every error response including 5xx. This is the field to branch on: `statusCode` is too coarse and `message` is human prose that may be reworded. The set is closed and every member is permanent, so it is safe to handle exhaustively. One of `invalid_request_error`, `authentication_error`, `permission_error`, `not_found_error`, `invalid_state_error`, `conflict_error`, `rate_limit_error`, `payment_error`, `api_error`. Example: `invalid_request_error`.
- `code` (string): Fine-grained identifier for the failure, present only where it adds something `type` does not — for example separating a replayed idempotency key from a held lock, or naming the reason a payment was declined. The set is open and grows over time, so treat an unrecognised value as absent and fall back to `type`. Example: `validation_failed`.

### `504`

The request exceeded the processing time limit and was abandoned. `type` is `api_error` and `code` is `timeout` — unlike a plain 500 the request may still have taken effect.

Type: object (ErrorResponse).

- `statusCode` (number, required): HTTP status code. Example: `400`.
- `requestId` (string, required): Unique identifier for the request. Example: `dfc10de3-36bb-4bcc-b081-316216194033`.
- `message` (string, required): Human-readable description of the failure. Example: `An error occurred`.
