Payment Rules

Deactivate a payment rule

The rule stops applying to new payments. It keeps its ID and can be activated again.

Response

The deactivated rule

account_idstring required

Account ID, prefixed biz_.

action'allow' | 'block' | 'review' | 'enforce_3ds' required

What this account's rule requests when every condition matches. One applicable account-rule action wins, in this order: allow, block, review, enforce_3ds. An allow overrides this account's other rules, never Whop's own fraud controls. A review requests authorization without capture for an eligible on-session card payment through Whop Payments. Automatic capture is scheduled for 48 hours after authorization; capture or void the payment before then to decide sooner. Capture may complete later or fail. Review is skipped for unsupported methods, off-session payments, and payments already configured for manual capture. An enforce_3ds is skipped when the account rule cannot apply a challenge. Other 3DS requirements still apply.

created_atstring required

When the rule was created, as an ISO 8601 timestamp.

deleted_atstring nullable required

When the rule was deleted, as an ISO 8601 timestamp. null unless status is deleted.

idstring required

Payment rule ID, prefixed prule_.

metadataobject required

Custom string-to-string values for your integration. Maximum 50 keys, 40 characters per key, 500 characters per value.

namestring required

A name for this rule. Up to 255 characters.

status'active' | 'inactive' | 'deleted' required

Whether the rule is applied to payments. A deleted rule is kept so the payments it already decided still name it.

updated_atstring required

When the rule was last changed, as an ISO 8601 timestamp.
