Transaction

Transactions are created for every order that results in an exchange of money.

There are five types of transactions:

  • Authorization: An amount reserved against the cardholder's funding source. Money does not change hands until the authorization is captured.

  • Capture: A transfer of the money that was reserved during the authorization stage.

  • Void: A cancellation of a pending authorization or capture.

  • Refund: A partial or full return of captured funds to the cardholder. A refund can happen only after a capture is processed.

Refund transactions must be created by using the Refund resource.

Note

An order can have no more than 100 transactions associated with it.
