transaction

Description

A transaction is a historical record of a cart that has been purchased by a customer. To create a transaction, you post to a cart. The only aspects of a transaction which can be modified are hide_transaction and data_is_fed.

The receipt_url link relationship leads to the full HTML receipt.

If you create custom attributes for a transaction, they will automatically be included in the response as embedded resources without having to zoom in on them.

For some stores and gateways, you may see additional link relationships which allow you to modify a transaction in the following ways:

  • capture: For Auth Only transactions, you can capture them on the gateway by POSTing to the capture link relationship href with an empty body.
  • void: To reverse a recent captured transaction (usually within the same day it was completed but before batched by the gateway), POST an empty body to the void link relationship href. This will not work for auth only transactions.
  • refund: To reverse a captured transaction completed in the past, POST an empty body to the refund link relationship href. This will not work for auth only transactions.
  • transaction_logs: When modifications are made to a transaction, logs will be available for all changes to the transaction. These can be obtained via GET to the transation_logs link relationship href. You can also zoom into details by adding ?zoom=transaction_log_details

Conditional Link Relationsips

If this transaction has a subscription associated with it, it will include a subscription and a sub_token_url link relationship.

Only select gateways and stores currently support transactions modifications. For those stores, the void, refund, and transaction_logs link relationships will be available. If the transaction was completed as an authorize only, the capture link relationship will be available for these stores as well.
