Available Endpoints

Endpoint Description Reference
/orders/{id}/transactions Get list of transaction data for an order Get Transactions
/orders/{id}/payment_actions/refund_quotes POST - Create refund quote for order ID {id}. Create a Refund Quote

Order Transactions

The /orders/{id}/transactions endpoint returns details about the payment instruments used to pay for an order. Depending on the payment method used, different details will be available. Not all credit card payment gateways return full card or fraud details. Transactions endpoints are primarily used to get detailed gateway response information for credit card transactions; however they will also return any available information about digital wallet and offline payments.

Note: transactions are not created for the following payment methods:

  • Test Payment Gateway
  • PayPal Express
  • Amazon Pay

Order Refunds

The Order API refund endpoints allow developers to process refunds against orders with settled payments. Refund endpoints are useful when building order management or payment integrations. They make embedding refund functionality directly into the application possible without requiring merchants to return to their BigCommerce Control Panel.
