Queries for transactions

Considerations

Before using the Queries feature, take into account the following considerations:

• It is recommended to use Queries for transactions in PENDING state.
• According to the payment method, the time to perform the query may vary. Nevertheless, it is recommended to perform the first query seven minutes after the transaction is created.
• Do not retry a query of a transaction when PayU indicates that the transaction does not exist.
• Bank transfer transactions are only available every ten minutes.

Query criteria

To query transactions, PayU allows you to search by any of the following criteria:

• Order Id: it is generated by PayU. Identifies the order in PayU system and is the main element where any movement is recorded (charges, retries, refunds, etc)
• Transaction Id: PayU generates this identifier per each movement associated with an order (Order ID).
• Reference Number: it is generated by the shop. Identifies the order or purchase in your system, PayU saves this value as you send it.
