API Transaction

The Spiffy Stores API Transaction object represents a transaction that has been applied to an order.

There are five types of transactions that can be applied to an order.

• Sale: The amount of money transferred from the cardholder's account to pay the outstanding order.
• Authorization: This represents the amount which has been reserved against the cardholder's account. No money changes hands until an authorization is captured.
• Capture: This occurs only after an authorization has been approved, and records the actual transfer of funds from the cardholder's account.
• Void: This represents the cancellation of a pending authorization or capture.
• Refund: A full or partial return of captured funds to the cardholder can occur. A refund can only happen after a capture or sale is processed.
