# Update Financing Application

`PATCH /financing_applications/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.whop.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.whop.com/api/v1/financing_applications/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Saves merchant answers to an application in `requires_collection`. The batch is atomic: if any answer is rejected, none are saved. Omitted requirements and answer fields are left unchanged. Saving answers does not submit the application; call Submit Financing Application when it is complete.

## Request body

- object
  - `answers` object[], required
    - `file_ids` string[]: Complete replacement set of file IDs for this requirement, prefixed `file_`. Upload documents through the Files API first: new files must belong to the caller, be ready and private, and satisfy the requirement's formats and 20 MB limit. An empty array removes all files.
    - `money` object, nullable: Price answer, such as `max_product_price`. `null` clears the price.
      - `amount` string, required: Positive exact decimal amount in major units, such as 1234.56. At most 12 whole digits and the currency's fractional precision.
      - `currency` 'usd' | 'sgd' | 'inr' | 'aud' | 'brl' | 'cad' | 'dkk' | 'eur' | 'nok' | 'gbp' | 'sek' | 'chf' | 'hkd' | 'huf' | 'jpy' | 'mxn' | 'myr' | 'pln' | 'czk' | 'nzd' | 'aed' | 'cop' | 'ron' | 'thb' | 'bgn' | 'idr' | 'dop' | 'php' | 'try' | 'krw' | 'twd' | 'vnd' | 'pkr' | 'clp' | 'uyu' | 'ars' | 'zar' | 'dzd' | 'tnd' | 'mad' | 'kes' | 'kwd' | 'jod' | 'all' | 'xcd' | 'amd' | 'bsd' | 'bhd' | 'bob' | 'bam' | 'khr' | 'crc' | 'xof' | 'egp' | 'etb' | 'gmd' | 'ghs' | 'gtq' | 'gyd' | 'ils' | 'jmd' | 'mop' | 'mga' | 'mur' | 'mdl' | 'mnt' | 'nad' | 'ngn' | 'mkd' | 'omr' | 'pyg' | 'pen' | 'qar' | 'rwf' | 'sar' | 'rsd' | 'lkr' | 'tzs' | 'ttd' | 'uzs' | 'rub' | 'cny' | 'kzt' | 'awg', required: Currency of the maximum product price.
    - `requirement_id` string, required: ID of a merchant requirement returned on this application.
    - `values` string[]: Text answers. Use `money` instead for `max_product_price`. An empty array clears the answer.

      - `object` string, required: The type of this object, always `file`.
      - `removed_by_moderation` boolean, required: Whether moderation removed the file. When true, `url` serves a replacement image; filename, size, and content type still describe the original file.

      - `decimals` integer, required: How many decimal places the amount CARRIES — the precision the charge itself runs at.
      - `display_decimals` integer, required: How many decimal places to SHOW. Usually equal to `decimals`, and deliberately not always: COP is charged in centavos but written in whole pesos, so it is `2` and `0`. Format the number in your own locale using this.

    - `values` string[], required
  - `status` 'requires_collection' | 'awaiting_review' | 'completed' | 'approved' | 'denied', required: The application's review state. Approval does not by itself indicate that financing payment methods are enabled on the account.

    - `policies` string[], required
