Transaction events

Transaction events provide an audit trail of how a transaction progresses through the processing pipeline.

When you retrieve a transaction, the API returns an Events array containing the events recorded so far. Each event represents a step in the transaction lifecycle and includes a timestamp indicating when it occurred.

Example event object:

{
  "EventType": "TransactionCreated",
  "TimestampUTC": "2020-01-15T09:38:24.2490007Z"
}

Field	Description
`EventType`	The type of event that occurred
`TimestampUTC`	The time the event occurred (UTC)

Transaction event examples

Event	Description
`TransactionCreated`	The transaction request was received
`TransactionValidated`	Validation checks completed
`TransactionRouteCalculated`	Payment routing and FX calculations completed
`MerchantBalanceVerified`	Funding account balance verified

Additional events may appear as the transaction progresses through the processing pipeline.
