Transaction ID from the API

ericb — Wed, 05 Oct 2016 17:07:56 GMT

I'm using the C# api.

I'm using the CaptureTransaction method on a delayed Charge transction. It appears that the only way to tell if it works properly, is if there are no errors. Is this the way it's supposed to work? IS there supposed to be a transaction ID for the captured transaction, or is it the same transactionId from the the authorization?

Thank you

Great question! Yes. If there are no errors, then the charge was successful. The transaction encompasses both the authorization and the capture, so the transaction ID is the same for the authorization and the capture.
