Changes to the Payments API

Published

The Payments API enables users to accept and manage payments using Blackbaud Merchant Services.

For easier reconciliation, we added the reference_transaction_id field to the TransactionRead object, which is used in the following endpoints:

GET Checkout transaction
POST Checkout transaction
POST Refund
GET Transaction
POST Transaction
POST Transaction capture

With this new feature, refund and dispute records return the original transaction ID.

Note: While all endpoints listed above use the TransactionRead object, the reference_transaction_id field is only included in the response when you use POST Refund or GET Transaction for refunds or chargebacks. Otherwise, it is omitted.

For more information, see the changelog.
