Method: partners.purchaseorders.authorizeCharge

  • This API is used by Google to check with resellers whether a charge for a purchase order is authorized.

  • Declining a charge for a subscription-based purchase order will result in cancellation or deactivation of the subscription.

  • The request body must include a unique request ID and details of the charge.

  • The response body will indicate whether the charge is authorized and, if approved, include a purchase order ID.

  • The API uses gRPC Transcoding and requires the partner's domain name in the URL.

Currently, it is used by only YouTube partners.

Google checks with the reseller if a charge for a purchase order is authorized. If the purchase order originated from a subscription, declining the charge also cancels the originating subscription or deactivates the originating subscription line items. Note: The domain name below should be replaced with the partner domain name with the same path.
