# Preview a post-label-purchase ship-to address change

> Read-only preview of the post-label Change-Ship-To wizard. Returns the
current shipping address, the new address candidate (or the
Triple-lock validator verdict for a raw payload), the list of active
Shippo labels that would be voided, per-label refund eligibility
hints, the carrier-specific in-transit gating flag, and the total
estimated refund. No DB writes; no Shippo or Stripe calls.

Use this to render the wizard's cost-impact confirmation step before
the operator submits the destructive execute. Carrier-specific void
deadlines (USPS 28 days pre-scan; UPS 90 days pre-pickup; FedEx
same-day) are reflected in the `refundability_hint` field per label.

Sister to `POST /v1/orders/{id}/change-ship-to`. Requires
`orders:read` scope.

Filed by NEW-GAP-CS-ADDRESS-CHANGE-POST-LABEL-PURCHASE + NEW-GAP-
CHANGE-SHIP-TO-WIZARD-VOID-AND-REPURCHASE (2026-05-16).

**Industry parallel:** Shopify Edit Order ship-to preview (admin
only); NetSuite Reverse Fulfillment confirmation step.

info:
  title: Arcus ERP Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Arcus ERP public REST API. Designed for external integrations and data
    migration.


    **Authentication.** Bearer token (API key) via the `Authorization` header.

    Format: `Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent_<code>_<random>` (or
    `ark_test_*` for sandbox).

    API keys are issued per-entity in **Settings > Developers > API Keys**.


    **Entity scoping.** The entity is encoded in the API key prefix; routes are
    flat

    (e.g. `/v1/accounts`, `/v1/orders`, `/v1/products`). A small set of platform
    endpoints

    (migration, reconciliation, events, webhook endpoints, API keys) use the

    `/v1/entities/{entity_id}/...` form -- those are noted in their tags.


    **Key capabilities.**
      - Related-resource hydration via `?expand[]=` (see `x-arcus-expand` on each resource).
      - Cursor-based pagination (`starting_after` / `ending_before` / `limit`).
      - Idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header.
      - Webhook events for asynchronous notification.
      - Conditional requests / ETag for cache validation.
