      More information 

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

      • result (in the notification request sent by Alipay): 
        Payment result. If the value of result.resultStatus is S, then the payment succeeds. If the value is F, the payment fails. The value of result.resultStatus will not be U for the payment result notification.
      • paymentTime: 
        This field is returned only when the value of result.resultStatus is S.
      • paymentActionForm: 
        In the in-store payment scenario, paymentCode is passed in through this field, and merchants can display the code to the customer. 

      Result process logic

      The merchant needs to send SUCCESS to Alipay after receiving the notification. If no asynchronous notification is returned to Alipay as required or due to network issues, Alipay will retry the notification request within 24 hours until SUCCESS is returned by the merchant. The notification request is called up to eight times, with an interval of 0s, 2m, 10m, 10m, 1h, 2h, 6h, 15h.
