Transaction statuses
Learn about the different statuses of a transaction.
Every Bink transaction moves through a series of states that reflect its processing status. Understanding these states helps you track your transactions effectively and handle them appropriately in your application.
Queued Status
When you first create a transaction, it enters a QUEUED state. This indicates your transaction has been received and is waiting to be processed by Bink’s concurrency-controlled queue system.
Applied Status
The APPLIED state indicates a successful transaction. When you see this state, it means:
- The transaction has been fully processed.
- The source balance has been debited.
- The destination balance has been credited.
- The transaction has completed its lifecycle.
Inflight Status
When you enable inflight for a transaction in your request, it moves from QUEUED to INFLIGHT. In this state, the transaction is on hold until you take further action.
From the INFLIGHT state, your transaction can move to one of three possible resolution states:
Applied status
When you send a commit command for an inflight transaction, Bink creates a new record with the APPLIED status, indicating the transaction has been successfully processed and the balances have been updated.
Void status
If you send a void command, Bink creates a new record with the VOID status, indicating the transaction was not completed and the inflight balances have been reset.
Rejected Status
The REJECTED state occurs only when a transaction’s source balance has insufficient funds. When this happens:
- No balance updates occur, preserving the current balance amounts.
Once a transaction reaches the REJECTED state, it is final. To retry the transaction, you would need to create a new one. Learn more: Handling insufficient funds with Blnk.
All transactions in Blnk are immutable. Once a transaction has been applied, committed or voided, you cannot roll back the status to its previous status.
