Transactions API

In version 3 of the Transactions API, Clara offers real-time access to card transactions through a paginated RESTful service.

When does a Transactions Appear?

Most transactions appear in the API almost instantly. However, some are delayed until Mastercard confirms them through the reconciliation process. This can take up to 2 business days. Initially, you’ll see a pre-authorization, which becomes authorized after confirmation.

Transaction Types

PURCHASE: A cardholder buys a product/service.
REFUND: A merchant reimburses the cardholder usually due to a product return or an error in processing the purchase.
FEE: Additional charges from services or admin costs.
CREDIT: Clara adds balance to the account (e.g., refund, adjustments, rewards).
PAYMENT: Outgoing payment, like a credit card bill, a debt, or any other financial obligation

Transaction Lifecycle

Transactions can have different statuses, which may change throughout the transaction cycle.

NOTIFICATION (ON): Initial transaction record.
PRE_AUTHORIZED (AU): Issuer confirms funds and card validity.
AUTHORIZED (OP): Reconciled and finalized.
REJECTED (RJ): Failed or canceled transaction.
SYSTEM_TRANSACTION (EC): Special status for FEE, PAYMENT, or CREDIT.

Pagination Details

Each page shows up to 100 transactions, with support for filters and sorting to tailor responses.

How to Retrieve Attachments

As a platform, Clara provides its clients with the ability to attach files to transactions, such as receipts, invoices, or other relevant information that can assist in their reconciliation process. To facilitate this, we provide download links for these attachments. If a transaction has attachments:

The hasAttachments field is set to true
You’ll receive a** link to download them**
URLs are valid for 12 hours

Format: .../v3/transactions/{uuid}/documents In the following example, we will get the URLs for the transaction with the UUID “47f8ed9e-4d7b-450b-ad6a-f1d83e3ce4e1” in Mexico.

The hasInvoice field is set to true
You’ll receive a link to download them
URLs are valid for 12 hours

Format: .../v3/transactions/{uuid}/invoices In the following example, we will get the invoice information for the transaction with the UUID “47f8ed9e-4d7b-450b-ad6a-f1d83e3ce4e1” in Mexico.
