# Mark an order ready for collection

`POST /api/v1/commerce/orders/{id}/ready-for-collection`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.blueticked.com`
- URL: `https://app.blueticked.com/api/v1/commerce/orders/{id}/ready-for-collection`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Tell the buyer of a paid collection order that it is ready to collect: one email in the business's name, with the shop's collection note.

A malformed UUID answers 400 validation_failed before resource access; a well-formed unknown UUID or one outside your workspace answers 404.

Only a paid order with `fulfilment.method` `collection` that has not been collected can be marked; anything else answers 409 `conflict` with the reason. It takes no body.

The buyer is emailed once, as the `ready_for_collection` kind in the order's `emails`: subject "Your order #1043 is ready to collect", with the collection note from the shop's fulfilment settings read when it is sent. A failed send is tried again automatically. Editing the collection note afterwards does not send it again.

Marking an order that is already ready answers 200 with its first `ready_for_collection_at` and `already_ready: true`, and sends nothing again. Retrying the call is safe.

There is no undo. Mark the order fulfilled with `PATCH /api/v1/commerce/orders/{id}/fulfilment` when the buyer collects it; a refund ends it too.
