Create unit order

2 minute read

POST https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/units/order

Use this endpoint to create a unit order. Unit orders allow you to buy units for the subaccounts you manage.

To buy units for a subaccount, the pricing method for the subaccount must be set to units. To get the pricing method for a subaccount, use the List subaccount products endpoint.

To create a unit order, the option to allow unit transfers must be enabled for your account. To find out if this option is enabled for your account, contact your account manager.
