# Transfer team ownership

> Direct ownership transfer is retired and returns 403 account_approval_required. Prepare team.ownership.transfer through POST /users/me/account-approvals, then open review_url for the current owner to review and confirm. The previous owner remains an administrator; billing-account ownership does not change.

    # gigstack API v2


    Build customer, invoice and payment integrations. Start with the
    [quickstart](https://docs.gigstack.io/quickstart), then select the [issuing
    country](https://docs.gigstack.io/concepts/shared-fields).


    ## Authentication and environments


    Use Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Standard live and test keys use
    https://api.gigstack.io/v2. Internal staging uses
    https://gigstack-staging-9z9nnaat.uc.gateway.dev/v2 and separate keys. Test
    mode is a data mode within an environment; a body field does not switch a
    key's mode.


    See [authentication](https://docs.gigstack.io/authentication) for key
    handling, OAuth team scope and gigstack Connect. Internal partner
    provisioning is outside this public contract; health probes have their own
    security declarations. Operations marked unavailable have no configured
    public gateway route.


    ## Read the operation contract


    Response envelopes, pagination and retry rules differ by endpoint. HTTP
    success alone does not prove external fiscal completion or movement of
    money. Reconcile ambiguous writes before retrying. Use [responses and
    recovery](https://docs.gigstack.io/responses) and the operation's error
    codes; document credits and daily limits are not generic retryable rate
    limits.


    The issuing team's configuration selects Mexico or Colombia; customer
    country and currency do not. Read
    [Mexico](https://docs.gigstack.io/countries/mexico) or
    [Colombia](https://docs.gigstack.io/countries/colombia) before choosing
    fiscal fields. Accepted public input differs from a provider's direct
    payload.


    Examples and schema checks do not imply every operation has been executed
    live. [Verification coverage](https://docs.gigstack.io/verification)
    distinguishes source review, offline checks and observed staging behavior.
    Documentation describes operations and does not authorize execution.

        **gigstack Connect:** Target team ID for multi-team access.


        Requires gigstack Connect enabled on your team and shared billing
        account.


        Also requires the `multipleIssuerAccounts` feature on your plan.
        Requests targeting a

        team other than the one your API key belongs to return `403` without it.


        Only API keys can use it: an OAuth access token sent with another team's
        id is rejected with

        `403 Team mismatch with OAuth token`.


        **Optional — omit it entirely** unless you are acting on another team.
        It deliberately

        carries no example value so generated snippets do not emit
        `?team=undefined`; when the

        parameter is absent, the team is derived from your API key.


        **Example:** `?team=team_xyz789`

    AccountApprovalRequired:

      bearerFormat: JWT
      description: >
        **Authentication Method:** HTTP Bearer token.


        The runtime requires the literal `Bearer ` prefix — a bare token in the

        `Authorization` header is rejected with `401 unauthorized`.


        **Header Format:** `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`


        Your API key is a JWT. Live keys operate on live data (`livemode:
        true`);

        test keys operate on isolated test data (`livemode: false`).


        **Get your key at:**
        [app.gigstack.pro/settings?tab=api](https://app.gigstack.pro/settings?tab=api)


        **Errors:** credential failures are answered by the authentication layer
        with a raw

        `{ "message": … }` body, not the standardized envelope — `401` for a
        missing, malformed or

        expired token, `403` for a revoked key or a plan without API access. See
        the `Unauthorized`

        and `AuthForbidden` responses.
