# Send an offer to its buyer

> Delivers this offer's private checkout link to its buyer for the first time, and returns
the offer. Only an `active` offer that has not lapsed and that carries a buyer email and
name can be sent.

This is the first delivery only. An offer that has already been sent is refused with 422
`invalid_state`; use resend for any further delivery.

Delivery is asynchronous. A 200 means the send was accepted and stamped on
`last_buyer_notification_at` — it does not confirm the message reached the buyer.
