Objects
Transaction Result Object
TransactionResult Object
An object holding information about the result of a transaction.
signatureUrl: In case the signature can not be updated to the Handpoint servers and an URL is not generated, the terminal will send back the image binary in base64 format to your software. It is important to be able to support both the URL and the image binary format.
customerReceipt and merchantReceipt: The receipts are usually received as URLs in the transaction result from the terminal. Please note that if the terminal is not able to upload the receipt to the Handpoint cloud servers and an URL is not generated then the HTML formatted receipt will be delivered to your software. It is important to be able to manage both formats.

Balance
Balance Object
Balance available on the card.

Bypass Options
BypassOptions Object
Configuration to enable/disable signature or pin bypass.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
pinBypass Boolean | Bypasses PIN entry when the cardholder does not know the PIN of the card and the merchant either knows they are the legitimate cardholder or want to give them the benefit of the doubt. PIN bypass should be set to true in order for the cardholder to be able to bypass the PIN by clicking once on the "validate(green)" button of the PIN screen on the payment terminal. |
signatureBypass Boolean | Whether the terminal prompts for a signature, depends on how you configure this parameter. The major card schemes (American Express, Diners, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, Visa, UnionPay) no longer require a signature for US merchants, they regard it as optional for card-present transactions. This means you can speed up your checkout by skipping the signature prompt. But if your business requires it, you can still let the terminal prompt for a signature. |

"bypassOptions": {
"signatureBypass": true,
"pinBypass": true
}
