In both successful and failed cases, the API request itself is successful. This is indicated by the "status": true and "message": "success" fields, meaning the API communication was processed correctly.

The key difference lies in the transaction status:

  • Successful Transaction: "state": "Success" and "stateCode": 2 indicate the transaction was completed successfully.
  • Failed Transaction: "state": "Failed" and "stateCode": 1 indicate the transaction processing failed, despite the API call succeeding.
