Common errors in the API response while listing on multi-brand Official Stores

If you don’t send the official_store_id of the item for a multi-brand Official Store, you’ll get as response the possible IDs you could send with your user:

"message": "Validation error",
   "error": "validation_error",
   "status": 400,
   "cause": [{
   	"code": "item.official_store_id.invalid",
   	"message": "Users type brand have to provide one of this [60, 274, 257] official store id"

If you send an invalid official_store_id for a multibrand Official Store you’ll get:

{
   "message": "body.invalid_official_store_id",
   "error": "The seller 148829068 is not allowed to use official_store_id 315 on site MLA.",
   "status": 403,
   "cause": []
}

Great! You already know the brand_id associated to your user to send every time you want to list an item.
