# List package types

> What this seller packs their goods into: the boxes their parcels ship
in, the cartons their products are packed into, the pallets a
wholesale order leaves on.

The list carries the marketplace's own packaging alongside the
seller's, so a seller can pack into the operator's standard cartons
rather than measuring them again. Those rows report `editable: false`
and are refused by every write.

The row marked `default` is the box this seller's parcels are quoted
with — its size and weight are added to every rate.


## Filters

Filter with `q[<attribute>_<predicate>]=value`, for example `q[name_cont]=…`. Send a list as `q[<attribute>_in][]=a&q[<attribute>_in][]=b`. [How filters work](/docs/api-reference/admin-api/querying.md#which-filters-an-endpoint-accepts).

| Attribute | Kind | Predicates |
| - | - | - |
| `created_at` | Date and time | `eq` `not_eq` `in` `not_in` `lt` `lteq` `gt` `gteq` `null` `not_null` |
| `default` | True or false | `eq` `not_eq` `in` `not_in` `true` `false` `null` |
| `id` | Prefixed ID | `eq` `not_eq` `in` `not_in` `null` `not_null` |
| `kind` | One of `box`, `envelope`, `carton`, `pallet`, `container` | `eq` `not_eq` `in` `not_in` `null` `not_null` |
| `name` | Text | `eq` `not_eq` `in` `not_in` `cont` `i_cont` `not_cont` `start` `end` `null` `not_null` `present` `blank` |
| `seller_id` | Prefixed ID | `eq` `not_eq` `in` `not_in` `null` `not_null` |
| `updated_at` | Date and time | `eq` `not_eq` `in` `not_in` `lt` `lteq` `gt` `gteq` `null` `not_null` |

**Sort by:** `created_at`, `default`, `id`, `kind`, `name`, `seller_id`, `updated_at`. Prefix a field with `-` to sort descending.

    Spree Seller API v3 - the marketplace seller panel, where a seller runs
    their own shop inside someone else's marketplace.

    This is a branch of its own, not a narrowing of the Admin API. Every
    endpoint is scoped server-side to the seller the request acts as, which
    is what makes cross-seller access impossible by construction rather
    than by rule. Sellers never call the Admin API.

    ## Authentication

    Sign in at `POST /api/v3/seller/auth/login` and send the returned JWT as
    `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. The token carries a `seller_api`
    audience — a token minted for the storefront or the back office is not
    accepted here, and vice versa.

    There is deliberately **no secret API key** for this branch: a
    credential that could act as a seller without a seller signing in is
    exactly what the separate audience exists to prevent.

    ### Choosing a seller

    A user may run more than one seller. Login returns the list; send the
    chosen seller's ID in the `X-Spree-Seller-Id` header on every
    authenticated request. The store is derived from the seller — never
    sent — so no header can widen what a seller reaches. A request that
    names no seller the caller belongs to is rejected with `403`.

    ## Response Format

    All responses are JSON. List endpoints return paginated responses with
    `data` and `meta` keys.

    ## Error Handling

    Errors return a consistent format:
    ```json
    {
      "error": {
        "code": "validation_error",
        "message": "Validation failed",
        "details": { "name": ["can't be blank"] }
      }
    }
    ```
