How To Discover Codes Available To You
Do not hard-code product codes. Always discover them via the merchant-scoped products endpoints:
GET /api/v1/merchants/{merchantId}/products
GET /api/v1/sub-merchants/{subMerchantId}/products
The response will include the exact code for every product currently active under your merchant or sub-merchant account. See Product Availability.
