Description
To find out if a transaction request has been sent out already or not, action code 1 can be used.
This helps in preventing the client from sending out redundant requests.
If any of the below 4 matching criteria are sent as a part of request with action code 1, code validates the below parameters to match with the right transaction, thereby sending out the response same as the previously requested transaction .
- Transaction Amount
- Transaction Type
- Nonce
- If nonce is not available: Reference transaction ID.
- Account Last 4 (optional)
- Card Account Type
