Synchronous mode

Several of the inbound transaction services web services support synchronous mode. In synchronous mode, the web service waits for a response from FTM for Immediate Payments before it continues.

The timeout value to use is specified in the Immediate Payment Timeout Value configuration parameter, and can be overridden by an input parameter if you want a longer wait time. If a response is not received from Immediate Payments before the timeout value is reached, a 408 HTTP code is set in the header. The most recent transaction status is available in the response body. The transaction processing continues, even if the web service returns a timeout indicator.

The following web services support synchronous mode.
  • InitiateCreditTransfer
  • InitiateRequestForPayment
  • ResponseToRequestForPayment
  • ResponseToRequestReturnOfFunds
  • ReturnPayment
