More information 

This section gives additional information about other parameters. See the following list for details:

  • order: Antom does not verify the consistency of the amount in the order field and the amount in the payment request. The order information is not applied in fund operations either. This field is mainly used for risk control, supervision, regulatory reporting, and consumption records display. Use the env field if the risk control capability provided by Antom is needed.
Sample for the order field
  • paymentTime: The successful execution time of this payment by Antom, that is, the date and time when the payment reaches a final state of success. This value is used as the start time of the subsequent cancellable and refundable time. For example, if the refundable time is 6 months, the final time to accept the refund is paymentTime plus 6 months.

Result process logic

For different request results, different actions are to be performed. See the following list for details:

  • If the value of result.resultStatus is S, the payment succeeded.
  • If the value of result.resultStatus is F, the payment failed.
  • If the value of result.resultStatus is U, the payment status is unknown. You can wait for the asynchronous notification of the payment result and call the inquiryPayment interface to inquire about the payment result constantly until getting the final payment result. If you cannot receive the asynchronous notification or get a confirmative result (S or F) from the inquiryPayment response, terminate the transaction by calling the cancel API to keep the transaction status consistent between you and the user.
