Transaction Verification

Learn how to verify transactions using the transaction ID

After charging your customer, you need to verify if the payment was successful before giving value to your customer. You must issue a transaction ID for every transaction.

Here are some important things to look out for when verifying the payment:

Verify the transaction reference
Verify the status of the transaction to be successful
Verify the currency to be the expected currency
Most importantly validate the amount paid to be equal to or at least greater than the amount of the value to be given

Here is a sample code of how to implement server-side validation in different programming languages:


curl --location --request GET 'https://api.coinforbarter.com/v1/transactions/{{transaction_id}}/verify'
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{PRIVATE_KEY}}'


var fetch = require('node-fetch');
fetch('https://api.coinforbarter.com/v1/transactions/{{transaction_id}}/verify', {
     headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization': 'Bearer {{PRIVATE_KEY}}'
    }
});


$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.coinforbarter.com/v1/transactions/{{transaction_id}}/verify');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$headers = array();
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
$headers[] = 'Authorization: Bearer {{PRIVATE_KEY}}';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
    echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);
