How to validate if a transaction was previously processed or previously captured?

Dalmiro Florez

Hello,

I'm trying to validate in my C# code if one transaction was previously captured in order to apply a logic for that specific use case. How can I determine that situation based on BlackBaud response?

Is it safe to say that code 20 is a response for this case (I mean for a transaction that is being retried, however, it was previously "Processed" )?


I'm able to receive this answer from here POST https://api.sky.blackbaud.com/payments/v1/transactions/3c3ba9f4-xxxx-4f51-a8c2-a2b412345dc/capture

{

   "message":"A transaction must be in an authorized state to be captured.",

   "error_name":"TransactionStateDoesNotSupportCapture",

   "error_code":20,

   "raw_message":"A transaction must be in an authorized state to be captured."

}


Can you confirm this assumption?

Any update on this?

Hi Dalmiro


You could try using the GET Transaction endpoint to return the status on a previously submitted request.  The response will include the state enum shown below:

"state": {<br/>      "enum": [<br/>        "Unknown",<br/>        "Processed",<br/>        "Failed",<br/>        "Refunded",<br/>        "Pending",<br/>        "Authorized",<br/>        "Voided"<br/>      ],

Please let me know if you need additional assistance!


Thanks.
