What is Transaction Response?
The transaction response is the information you will receive from ClickPay after the transaction process comes to an end whether is it authorized, declined, canceled, etc.
1 - Return Response
What is the Return Response using POST?
The return response is a POST response that is sent from the client browser (Cardholder) with the basic transaction information only after the payment came to an end (whether the customer cancels, paid, or failed to pay) and redirects the customer back to your system.
Return Payload Sample
acquirerMessage= &acquirerRRN= &cartId=cart_11111 &customerEmail=email%40domain.com &respCode=G77803 &respMessage=Authorised &respStatus=A &token= &tranRef=SFT202860000xxxx
The "acquirerRPN", "respCode", ... will be different on your Live profiles because they are sent from the bank side. (Read more about Response Code and Response Status on the article "What is: Response_code vs the Response_status?")If the return URL passed as HTTP (Not HTTPS) it will sent as GET response instead with empty payload
You will receive a "return" response if you supplied a return URL in the payment request payload as shown below.
What is the Return Response using GET?
The return response is a Get response that is sent from the client browser (Cardholder) with the basic transaction information only after the payment came to an end (whether the customer cancels, paid, or failed to pay) and redirects the customer back to your system.
