Managing A Check
Managing checks through the PayTrace API may only be accomplished by providing the check ID of the unsettled check and the type or status that you’d like to assign it. CheckType (status) may be set to Void, Hold, or Fund (Capture). Please note that some check processors, such as GETI, do not support Void, Hold, and Fund requests.
Manage a Check Request
Required Name Value Pairs
UN, PSWD, TERMS, METHOD, CHECKTYPE, CHECKID
Optional Name Value Pairs For Manage a Check Request
- The check amount may be revised when sending a request to manage a check that’s not processed by a real-time check processor.
Sample Manage a Check Request
‘format the request string to process a void transaction ID 1539 from settlement
strRequest = “UN~demo123|PSWD~demo123|TERMS~Y|METHOD~ManageCheck|”
strRequest = strRequest & “CHECKTYPE~Void|CheckID~1539|”
strRequest = “PARMLIST=” & URLEncode(strRequest)
strResponse = SendPayTraceAPIRequest(strRequest) ‘defined in Referencing the API Page
Request Response
Returned Name Value Pairs
Responses elicited from a ProcessCheck request of ManageCheck and a CheckType of void, hold, or fund will always return either one or more error messages or a set of responses. Successful responses will always include: RESPONSE, CHECKIDENTIFIER
Example of Parsing a Manage Check Response
‘declare tools to loop through the response and store the current name / value pair
Dim arrResponse() as String
Dim arrPair() as String
Dim Counter as Integer
‘declare the tools to store the values of the appropriate responses
Dim strError As String
Dim strResponseMessage As String
Dim strCheckID As String
‘check to make sure the response was not empty/invalid
if strResponse <> “” and inStr(strResponse,”|”) > 0 and inStr(strResponse,”~”) > 0 then
arrResponse = split(strResponse, “|”) ‘split the response into an array of name/value pairs
for Counter = 0 to uBound(arrResponse)-1
arrPair = split(arrResponse(Counter), “~”)
If UCase(arrPair(0)) = "ERROR" Then
StrError = strError & arrPair(1)
ElseIf UCase(arrPair(0)) = "RESPONSE" Then
strResponseMessage = arrPair(1)
ElseIf UCase(arrPair(0)) = " CHECKIDENTIFIER" Then
strCheckID = arrPair(1)
End If
next
Else
StrError = StrError & “The response from the PayTrace API was invalid."
End if
If StrError <> “” then
MsgBox “Check transaction was not successful per the following error: ” & StrError
Else
MsgBox “Check transaction was successful: ” & strResponseMessage
End if
