Get Transaction Status (Deprecated)

We highly recommend that when you receive a notification from us, even after checking to ensure the hash values match, you should initiate a get transaction status request to us with either the paymentReference or transactionReference to confirm the actual status of that transaction before updating the records on your database.

This endpoint is protected with OAuth 2.0 Bearer token. To find out more about authorization for Monnify endpoints, check Here

You can get the transaction status with a simple GET request to the get status endpoint and simply add either of the following query params in the table below
