Status inquiries via socket connections

Status inquiries based on PayID

Status inquiries within Paygate give detailed information about the amounts that are actually authorized, captured or credited. Especially before executing reversals via the interface reverse.aspx it is recommended to check the transaction status with inquire.aspx, because Reverse.aspx reverses not only authorizations but ALWAYS THE LAST TRANSACTION STEP.

Inquiries of transaction status based on PayID are possible via a Server-to-Server connection. In order to inquire about the status of a transaction via a Server-to-Server connection, please use the following URL:
