--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Where a PSP operation lives: its session, attempt and order. Another merchant’s transaction answers the same 404 as a nonexistent one.

transactionId
required
string format: uuid
/^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/

The PSP operation, as a search returned it. A lowercase UUID — the ones we mint are v7.

Example
0193f6c1-9c40-7d6f-b123-4e5f6a7b8c9d

The transaction, with the home that gives it meaning — session, order, attempt.

Media typeapplication/json
object
sessionId
required

The session this belongs to.

string format: uuid
merchantId
required

The merchant it belongs to.

string
orderId
required

Their own order reference.

string
attemptId
required

The attempt it belongs to.

string format: uuid
method
required

What the attempt behind this operation was paid with — card, paypal, wero… An operation alone does not say it, and reading a list of PSP operations without it means opening each one.

string
cardScheme

The card network that attempt ran on, when the PSP named one we could place — see the same field on an attempt.

string
transaction
required

The operation itself.

object
transactionId
required

Our handle for this PSP operation — what a refund door addresses.

string format: uuid
createdAt
required

When the operation was opened — epoch milliseconds (Q13).

integer
updatedAt
required

The last event that touched it — for a terminal transaction, its verdict’s instant.

integer
type
required

What this operation asked the PSP: hold the money, take it in one go, capture a hold, release a hold, or send money back.

string
Allowed values: authorization payment capture void refund
amount
required

What this operation moved, in minor units.

object
amount
required

Amount in the MINOR unit of the currency — 1000_00 is one thousand euros, never 1000.

integer
currency
required

ISO 4217 code, uppercase. One currency per session.

string
/^[A-Z]{3}$/
providerRef

The PSP’s reference — what their dashboard greps (D-047).

string
status
required

The VERDICT facet: what the PSP finally decided about this operation — as opposed to the ack facet below, which is what the driving call answered on the spot.

object
kind
required

Where the operation stands. pending means the verdict is still due — it always arrives out-of-band.

string
Allowed values: pending succeeded failed cancelled
statusCode

The PSP’s own code, split at the source — successes carry theirs too.

string
statusMessage

The PSP’s own sentence, as they said it — never glued to the code.

string
category

What a refusal means, when the PSP’s answer could be read.

string
Allowed values: bank-refusal insufficient-funds invalid-card-data authentication-failed expired method-unavailable
ackCode

What the driving call answered (the ack facet).

string
ackMessage

What the driving call said — a transport failure’s raw cause included.

string
ackHttpStatus

Absent beside a present ackMessage = no HTTP response ever came.

integer
extraData

The caller’s reconciliation tag, on refunds only (lot 5) — echoed verbatim.

string
Example
{
"method": "card",
"cardScheme": "visa",
"transaction": {
"type": "authorization",
"status": {
"kind": "pending",
"category": "bank-refusal"
}
}
}

InvalidRequest — the request could not be read: a missing or malformed field, a bad pattern, or a property this door does not declare (the message names it). Every door with a schema can answer this, before any business rule is consulted.

Media typeapplication/json
object
code
required

Stable machine-readable code — the one thing to branch on. Never parse the message.

string
message
required

English sentence for logs and operators. Wording may change; the code will not.

string
Example
{
"code": "InvalidRequest",
"message": "body/<field> failed validation"
}

Unauthorized — the only code this response carries: no usable access token (absent, malformed, expired). One answer for every failure shape, so nothing can be learned by watching which one comes back.

Media typeapplication/json
object
code
required

Stable machine-readable code — the one thing to branch on. Never parse the message.

string
message
required

English sentence for logs and operators. Wording may change; the code will not.

string
Example
{
"code": "Unauthorized",
"message": "a valid access token is required"
}

NotFound — the only code this response carries: unknown, or belonging to another merchant. The two are deliberately indistinguishable.

Media typeapplication/json
object
code
required

Stable machine-readable code — the one thing to branch on. Never parse the message.

string
message
required

English sentence for logs and operators. Wording may change; the code will not.
