# Retrieve Payment Status (Transaction)

GET https://api.crisscross.money/v1/payment/{transactionId}

Retrieves status/details of a transaction by `transactionId`.

Reference: https://docs.crisscross.money/api-reference/collect/payments/manage-payments/get-transaction

## Request

### Path parameters

- `transactionId` (string, required) — Unique identifier for the transaction.

## Response

### 200

Transaction status retrieved successfully.

- `status` (string, required) — Current transaction status.
- `transactionId` (string, required) — Unique identifier for the transaction.
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable status message.
- `authState` (AuthState, optional) — Detail for the transaction's current state. When the transaction status is `AUTH_REQUIRED`, `authMethodType` says how the payer completes authentication, and a matching detail object (`redirect`, `fields`, `ussd`, `bankTransfer`) carries the specifics. Error states instead carry `code`, `message`, and the raw `connectorFailureCode`/`connectorFailureMessage`.
- `sessionId` (string, optional) — Session the transaction belongs to.
- `merchantReference` (string, optional) — Merchant reference from the original session.
- `processorName` (string, optional) — Name of the payment processor (if assigned).
- `processorReference` (string, optional) — Processor reference (if available).
- `paymentMethodId` (string, optional) — The payment method used, e.g. `card` or `mobilemoney`.
- `identifiers` (map from string to string, optional) — Additional identifiers, usually `sessionId` and `payerId`.
- `paymentAttributes` (map from string to string, optional) — Attributes associated with the payment.
- `batchPayoutId` (string, optional) — Batch payout identifier, present when the transaction is part of a batch payout.
- `collection` (FxMoneyAmount, optional) — Amount the customer paid in the collection currency. Present only on transactions converted by [Adaptive Currency Conversion](/adaptive-currency-conversion) — per-session rate or [rate lock](/rate-locks).
- `fxMidRate` (string, optional) — Spot mid-market rate at the time the FX quote was committed for this attempt (decimal string, 8 decimal places). Present only on FX-converted transactions.
- `fxAllInRate` (string, optional) — Mid rate + markup — the rate this attempt was actually converted at (decimal string, 8 decimal places). Present only on FX-converted transactions.
- `fxMarkupBps` (integer, optional) — Markup applied to this attempt in basis points (100 bps = 1%). Present only on FX-converted transactions.
- `fxFee` (FxMoneyAmount, optional) — Conversion fee, denominated in the collection currency. Present only on FX-converted transactions.

## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized.

- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable description of what went wrong.
- `error` (string, required) — Error category. Most endpoints return the HTTP reason phrase (e.g. "Bad Request", "Unauthorized", "Conflict", "Unprocessable Entity", "Internal Server Error"). Some return a machine-readable snake_case code instead — notably the FX and rate-lock rejections on checkout session creation and payment initiation, where several distinct codes share a single HTTP status. Where a code is present it is the finer discriminator and is safe to branch on.
- `statusCode` (integer, required) — HTTP status code, mirroring the response header. The response header is the source of truth.

### 404 Not Found Error

Transaction not found.

- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable description of what went wrong.
- `error` (string, required) — Error category. Most endpoints return the HTTP reason phrase (e.g. "Bad Request", "Unauthorized", "Conflict", "Unprocessable Entity", "Internal Server Error"). Some return a machine-readable snake_case code instead — notably the FX and rate-lock rejections on checkout session creation and payment initiation, where several distinct codes share a single HTTP status. Where a code is present it is the finer discriminator and is safe to branch on.
- `statusCode` (integer, required) — HTTP status code, mirroring the response header. The response header is the source of truth.

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

Unprocessable Entity.

- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable description of what went wrong.
- `error` (string, required) — Error category. Most endpoints return the HTTP reason phrase (e.g. "Bad Request", "Unauthorized", "Conflict", "Unprocessable Entity", "Internal Server Error"). Some return a machine-readable snake_case code instead — notably the FX and rate-lock rejections on checkout session creation and payment initiation, where several distinct codes share a single HTTP status. Where a code is present it is the finer discriminator and is safe to branch on.
- `statusCode` (integer, required) — HTTP status code, mirroring the response header. The response header is the source of truth.

## Types

### AuthState

Detail for the transaction's current state. When the transaction status is `AUTH_REQUIRED`, `authMethodType` says how the payer completes authentication, and a matching detail object (`redirect`, `fields`, `ussd`, `bankTransfer`) carries the specifics. Error states instead carry `code`, `message`, and the raw `connectorFailureCode`/`connectorFailureMessage`.

- `state` (string, optional) — Transaction state name. In-flight states are uppercase (`PENDING`, `SCREENING_PENDING`, `SCREENING_COMPLETED`, `AUTH_REQUIRED`); terminal states are lowercase (`completed`, `failed`, `error`, `cancelled`, `expired`, `settled`). Match exact values, casing included.
- `transitionedAt` (string, optional) — ISO 8601 timestamp when the transaction entered this state.
- `authMethodType` (enum, optional) — How the payer completes authentication. Present on `AUTH_REQUIRED` states.
  - Allowed values: `redirect`, `fields`, `ussd`, `pendingApproval`, `bankTransfer`, `none`
- `redirect` (AuthStateRedirect, optional) — Present when `authMethodType` is `redirect` — send the payer to `url`.

### FxMoneyAmount

Monetary amount as a decimal-string major unit + ISO 4217 currency code.

- `amount` (string, required) — Decimal string in major units.
- `currency` (string, required) — ISO 4217 currency code.

### AuthStateRedirect

Present when `authMethodType` is `redirect` — send the payer to `url`.

- `url` (string, optional) — URL to redirect the payer to for authentication.
- `requiresTopLevel` (boolean, optional) — When true, the browser must navigate top-level to `url` rather than embedding it in an iframe.
