# Accept a partner referral request

`POST /partner_referral_requests/{id}/accept`

Accepts a pending manual request as a current business owner and attributes the business to the verified requesting partner. Existing active attribution blocks acceptance. Repeating acceptance returns the accepted request. Use a Whop login session or an account API key with `partner:referral_request:accept`. The key must have been created by the account's current owner. Account API keys can respond only to requests for the key's account.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

Request resolved.

- PartnerReferralRequest
  - `account` AccountSummary, required
    - `id` string, required — Account ID, prefixed `biz_`.
    - `title` string, required — Account display name.
  - `code` string, nullable, required — Unique referral code, when assigned.
  - `created_at` string, required — When the request was created, as an ISO 8601 timestamp.
  - `id` string, required — Partner referral request ID, prefixed `prfr_`.
  - `max_redemptions` integer, nullable, required — Maximum permitted redemptions, when limited.
  - `partner` UserSummary, required

    - `name` string, nullable, required — Display name.
    - `profile_picture` UserProfilePicture, required
      - `url` string, required — Avatar image URL. Always present — a generated placeholder when the user set no picture.
    - `username` string, required — Public username.
  - `request_type` 'manual' | 'ownership_transfer' | 'link', required — How the referral request was initiated.
  - `rewards` PartnerReferralReward[], required
    - `bot_qualification_type` 'sales' | 'ad_spend' | 'null', nullable, required — Activity that qualifies for this reward, when specified.
    - `id` string, required — Partner reward ID, prefixed `prwd_`.
    - `qualification_amount` Money, required
      - `amount` string, required — The amount in major units, as an exact decimal string — `"10.00"` is ten dollars. A string so no float rounds it in transit.
      - `currency` string, required — Three-letter ISO 4217 currency code, lowercase.
      - `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.
    - `recipient` 'business' | 'partner' | 'null', nullable, required — Reward recipient's role, or null for a fixed user who is not the requesting partner.
    - `recipient_id` string, nullable, required — Concrete recipient's user or business ID, or null until a business redeems the offer.

  - `status` 'pending' | 'accepted' | 'denied' | 'cancelled' | 'null', nullable, required — The approval state, or null for requests without an approval process.
