Negotiations

Send negotiation message

POST /v1/transactions/{transactionId}/negotiate

Authentication: Required

Sends a negotiation message on a transaction in negotiating state. Turn enforcement applies — only the party whose turn it is can send.

Request body

Field	Type	Required	Description
type	string	Yes	initial_offer, counter_offer, accept, reject, or withdraw
terms	object	Yes	Proposed terms
terms.priceCents	integer	No	Proposed price in cents
terms.sla	object	No	Modified SLA terms
terms.scopeModifications	object	No	Scope changes
message	string	No	Human-readable note (max 1000 chars)
expiresInSeconds	integer	No	Offer expiry (default: 300, max: 3600)

Response

Returns the updated transaction. On accept, the transaction moves to matched and a fund hold is created using the most recent offer’s price.
