Monitoring Transaction State
Get transaction to view the status and details of the transaction. Setup Webhooks to monitor the state of the transaction in real-time which are sent as events. Events are sent when transaction is updated - "transaction_updated", successful - "transaction_success", and fails - "transaction_failed" with the transaction details. A sample webhook response:
