Work with purchases and payment methods in CHIP Collect

Actions13

Overview

This node interacts with the CHIP Collect API to manage purchases, including capturing payments for existing purchases. Specifically, the 'Capture' operation finalizes a previously authorized purchase by sending a capture request to the API. This is useful in scenarios where payments are authorized first and captured later, such as in delayed shipping or service delivery workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Capture a purchase payment after order fulfillment to ensure funds are secured only when the product is shipped.
  2. Use capture to finalize payment for a service after it has been rendered, allowing for flexible billing.

Properties

Name Meaning
Purchase ID The unique identifier of the purchase to capture. This is required to specify which purchase's payment should be captured.

Output

JSON

  • json - The JSON response from the CHIP Collect API containing details of the captured purchase transaction.

Dependencies

  • CHIP Collect API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Purchase ID is valid and corresponds to an existing authorized purchase; otherwise, the capture request will fail.
  • Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions to perform capture operations.
  • Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability if requests time out or fail.
  • If the purchase has already been captured or canceled, the API may return an error indicating the operation is invalid.
