Braintree Reversal

Afifa Bakiz edited this page May 21, 2019 · 5 revisions

Any Braintree transaction request executed without a settlement request can be considered as a preauthorization. The Braintree API provides voidTransaction that can be used to reverse a preauthorized payment by sending the following parameters:

Parameter Name Description
pspTransactionId Braintree transaction id

The Braintree Transaction object will be returned in the response. If the Transaction.errors field of the returned object is empty, we can assume that the related operation is successful. Otherwise, the Transaction.status field should be checked to assess the real status of the request.

There are 2 types of errors that can be considered relevant to our reversal flow:

  • ValidationErrors are based on bad requests or configuration problems related to the PSP configuration.
  • SettlementErrors can be inferred from the processorSettlementResponseCode field of the returned Transaction object.
