Void Transactions with myPOS Smart SDK
The Void Request feature allows you to cancel a previously approved transaction using its STAN, authorization code, and timestamp, or by referencing the last transaction directly.
Step 1: Perform Void Transaction
To start a void transaction, build a MyPOSVoid request using either the transaction identifiers or by setting a flag to void the last transaction.
// Build the void transaction
private static final int VOID_REQUEST_CODE = 4;
private void startVoid() {
// Build the void request
MyPOSVoid voidEx = MyPOSVoid.builder()
.STAN(27)
.authCode("VISSIM")
.dateTime("180129123753")
//.voidLastTransactionFlag(true) // this may void last transaction initialized by this terminal
.build();
// Start the void transaction
MyPOSAPI.openVoidActivity(MainActivity.this, voidEx, VOID_REQUEST_CODE, true);
}
You can either specify a specific transaction using STAN, authCode, and dateTime, or set .voidLastTransactionFlag(true) to void the most recent one.
Step 2: Handle the Void Result
Handle the result of the void operation in your onActivityResult() method just like other transactions.
@Override
void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == VOID_REQUEST_CODE) {
// The transaction was processed, handle the response
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
// Something went wrong in the Payment core app and the result couldn't be returned properly
if (data == null) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Transaction cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
int transactionResult = data.getIntExtra("status", TransactionProcessingResult.TRANSACTION_FAILED);
Toast.makeText(this, "Void transaction has completed. Result: " + transactionResult, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// TODO: handle each transaction response accordingly
if (transactionResult == TransactionProcessingResult.TRANSACTION_SUCCESS) {
// Transaction is successful
}
} else {
// The user cancelled the transaction
Toast.makeText(this, "Transaction cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
Tip: Voiding a transaction is only possible within the allowed timeframe by the acquirer. For best practices, void immediately when errors or cancellations occur in the same session.
