Objects

Transaction Result Object

TransactionResult Object

An object holding information about the result of a transaction.

tip

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.

Hapi Manager

HapiManager Object

A static class containing information about the current status of the SDK

Properties

PropertyDescription
DefaultSharedSecret
String
Gets the default shared secret used in the SDK.
LogLevel
LogLevel
Gets the current log level of the SDK and payment terminal.
inTransaction
bool
Checks whether the SDK is in transaction or not. True if the SDK is in transaction, false otherwise. This might return a true if there is a communication error between the SDK and payment terminal but the transaction has been completed on the card reader.
SdkVersion
String
Gets the current Sdk version.
IsTransactionResultPending
boolean
In case of a communication failure between the device and the API a Transaction Result might not be delivered to the API. This function checks if there is a pending Transaction Result. This field is only updated when connecting to a device. If this function returns true the Transaction Result (which includes the receipt) can be fetched with hapi.GetPendingTransactionResult();. This function serves the same functionality as the event PendingTransactionResult(Device device), so every time that event is invoked, HapiManager.IsTransactionResultPending() is true until the result is fetched.
Settings.AutoRecoverTransactionResult
boolean
In case of a communication failure between the device and the API a Transaction Result might not be delivered to the API. This property can be set to true or false. If set to true, the SDK will automatically fetch the pending Transaction Result when detected and return it via TransactionResultReady. The function PendingTransactionResult is never invoked if this property is set to true. If set to false PendingTransactionResult will be called when a TransactionResult is pending.

Code example

//Check if the SDK is in transaction
bool inTransaction = HapiManager.InTransaction(SomeConnectedDevice);
//Check the current logLevel
LogLevel level = HapiManager.GetLogLevel();
