Transfer Ownership

While sellers belonging to a Shared Space can manage certain aspects of a Shared Space, there are some that only the owner can manage. There are two ways to transfer ownership of a Shared Space:

via the Showpad Web App - Only the current owner can transfer the ownership.
via API - The current owner or an admin can transfer the ownership. The new owner of the Shared Space will receive a notification of the transfer of ownership.

Method	Endpoint	Description
`POST`	`/shared-spaces/{shared space ID}/transfer-ownership`	Transfers the ownership of a Shared Space from one user to another. The Shared Space's new owner's ID is specified in the request body.

In order to transfer the ownership of a Shared Spaces, you must first have:

The identifier of the Shared Space
The identifier of the Shared Space's new owner

Now that you've retrieved both of the necessary IDs, you can make a request to this endpoint:

Example

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://{{subdomain}}.api.showpad.com/v4/shared-spaces/{{shared space ID}}/transfer-ownership' \
  -H 'accept: application/problem+json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "userId": "{{owner ID}}"
}'

Response

204: Ownership was successfully transferred`
