Skip transaction queue

The skip_queue feature allows you to bypass the default transaction queuing system and process transactions directly to your balances. This is useful for scenarios where you need real-time transaction processing while still maintaining data consistency.

To enable this feature, include “skip_queue”: true in the request body when calling the Create Transaction endpoint:

{
  "amount": 102.12,
  "precision": 100,
  ...
  "allow_overdraft": true,
  "skip_queue": true
}

​

How it works

When you enable skip_queue, the transaction:

• Bypasses the normal queuing process
• Executes immediately on the balance
• Uses distributed locks via Redis to maintain consistency
• Applies optimistic locking at the database level

​

When to use skip_queue

Use skip_queue for:

• Real-time payment processing in your ledger
• Interactive user sessions requiring immediate feedback
• Time-sensitive financial operations

Avoid using for:

• Complex transactions with multiple steps or dependencies
• Transactions requiring external service validation
