Update a preset

Copy page

Applies an RFC 7396 JSON Merge Patch to one preset: properties omitted from the body are unchanged. design replaces wholesale — it is one document, not a set of properties to merge into — so sending it replaces the whole snapshot. An empty object {} is a valid no-op.

Update a preset

Applies an RFC 7396 JSON Merge Patch to one preset: properties omitted from the body are unchanged. `design` replaces wholesale — it is one document, not a set of properties to merge into — so sending it replaces the whole snapshot. An empty object `{}` is a valid no-op. Read-only and unknown properties are rejected, and `code` never changes. Requires `customisers:write`. An `Idempotency-Key` is optional here: sending one makes the update safe to retry (an exact repeat replays the original response; the same key with a different body is a 409). The update clears the customiser's cached storefront configuration and runs the advisory language sync, and never regenerates Shopify products, product images, or the product cache.
