Simple or Detailed Status
There are two kinds of Payment Transaction status:
Status Type | Explanation | Example |
|---|---|---|
“Simple status” | Few coarse statuses. A change will cause a push notification. This should be used programmatically. | 4 / “issue” |
(Regular) “status” | Many detailed status messages to reflect the payment process in detail. Not every change will cause a push notification. You can display it live when displaying order details in your shop backend for instance. | 69 / “Chargeback” |
In our example you would need signalize the merchant the payment issue. When he would open the order detail view, you might also display the reason, “Chargeback”.
Where to Obtain the Statuses
When you check the status and the effective amount of a Payment Transaction using GET /api/v2/Payment/Transactions/PCI_xyz/checkStatus as described in Check Status and Amount of a Payment, you will receive a response like this:
{ "status": 9, "status_text": "vorautorisiert", "status_simple": 2, "status_simple_text": "authorized", "amount": 8600, "currency": "EUR"}The status fields transport exactly what is expected.
When you read an entire Payment Transaction as returned by GET /api/v2/Payment/Transactions/PCI_xyz as described in Read a Payment Transaction, for example, you will receive a response like this:
{ "object": "payment.transactions", "id": "PCI_WMC2TN4PT66CY90TS8YZY34QK9W2N7", // ... "amount": 1000, "currency": "EUR", // ... "status": 103, "status_text": "teilausgezahlt (Gutschrift beglichen)", "details": { // ... "status": 103, "status_text": "teilausgezahlt (Gutschrift beglichen)", "status_simple": 1, "status_simple_text": "accepted", // ... }, // ...}You should use the fields inside details. The status fields transport also here exactly what is expected.
