Error recovery

Previous transaction lookup

If the application crashes or is terminated during a transaction, it’s useful to know what happened to the transaction that was in progress. To look up the state of a previous transaction, call:

1
YocoSDK.getPaymentResult(transactionID: transactionID) { paymentResult, error in
2
  ...
3
}

This allows you to get the PaymentResult of the transaction so you can determine if it was a success or failure.

Showing the user the result

After receiving the PaymentResult from the preceding step, you probably want to show the user the result, and allow them to send a receipt. The YocoSDK has a function to allow you to present the result of the payment and send a receipt via the function below:

1
YocoSDK.showPaymentResult(paymentResult, paymentParameters: parameters) { paymentResult in
2
  ...
3
}

You can pass the same PaymentParameters object you normally use with the YocoSDK.charge() method. You can chain both the preceding methods in your application’s initialisation to automatically display a previous transaction:

1
// If something happened during a transaction, attempt to get the transaction status and display the result to the user.
2
if let transactionID = UserDefaults.standard.value(forKey: "transactionInProgress") as? String {
3
  YocoSDK.getPaymentResult(transactionID: transactionID) { paymentResult, error in
4
    if let paymentResult = paymentResult {
5
      YocoSDK.showPaymentResult(paymentResult, paymentParameters: parameters) { paymentResult in
6
        UserDefaults.standard.set(nil, forKey: "transactionInProgress") // Clear the transaction ID we saved, so we don't accidentally show it again.

      }

    }
