Response JSON

Overview

This endpoint allows verified Binance C2C (P2P) merchants to temporarily close their business operations. When executed, the merchant profile status is set to closed/resting, which pauses public merchant visibility and halts inbound trade requests.

Automated trading desks and merchant systems use this endpoint as an operational toggle during non-business hours, holidays, or maintenance routines without needing to delete individual advertisement listings.
