More information 

This section provides additional information about key parameters. See the following list for details:

  • paymentTime:
    The successful execution time of this payment by Alipay, that is, the date and time when the payment reaches a final state of success or failure. This value is used as the start time of the subsequent revocable and refundable time. For example, if the refundable time is 6 months, the final time to accept the refund is paymentTime plus 6 months.
  • paymentId:
    The unique payment processing ID. For polling the same payment, this field must be unique; for polling different payments, this field must be different. This value can be used for further actions like inquiry, cancellation, or refund.
  • paymentRequestId or paymentId:
    To decide when to use paymentRequestId or paymentId, follow these rules:
    • If the pay interface calling returns successfully, the merchant can use the paymentId or paymentRequestId to query the original payment.
    • If the pay interface calling returns an unknown exception or times out, the merchant can only use paymentRequestId to query the payment result.
    • If the cancel interface calling returns an unknown exception or times out, the merchant can use either paymentId or paymentRequestId of the original payment to query the cancel result.
    • If the refund interface calling returns an unknown exception or times out, the merchant can use either paymentId or paymentRequestId of the original payment to query the refund result. But using refundRequestId is not supported.

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, payment result inquiry succeeds.
  • If the value of result.resultStatus is F, payment inquiry fails.
  • If the value of result.resultStatus is U, then the request result is unknown. Use the same request parameters to retry the inquiry request.
