GoFundMe Transaction API
Transactions have three types of attributes relating to Passport: raw, charged, and normalized.Raw attributes reflect the donor/purchaser's intent when creating the Transaction. The only attribute directly specified on the Transaction is `raw_currency_code` - the other visible attributes (`raw_total_gross_amount`, `raw_donation_gross_amount`, and `raw_overhead_net_amount`) are all derived from the raw values set on the transaction's items.Charged attributes reflect the values that are actually charged when the payment is processed. Since the potential values for a Transaction's `charged_currency_code` should be limited to those available to an Organization for processing, this value can differ from the Transaction's `raw_currency_code`. The amount that is charged is reflected in `charged_total_gross_amount`, while the fees are expressed in `charged_classy_fees_amount` and `charged_pp_fees_amount` (`charged_fees_amount` attribute is the sum of these two attributes). There is additionally a `charged_at` timestamp that is used for normalization.Normalized attributes reflect a conversion from raw and/or charged attributes into the Transaction's `currency_code`, which is the same for all Passport-enabled entities associated with the Transaction's Organization. This normalization occurs to allow for a constant basis of comparison across each of these entities. These normalized values are all converted from the associated raw or charged attributes, preferring the charged attribute over the raw attribute if available. For example, `charged_total_gross_amount` will be used instead of `raw_total_gross_amount` if both `charged_total_gross_amount` and `charged_currency_code` are present. If `charged_at` is also present, the exchange rate between `charged_currency_code` and `currency_code` at that time will be used if/when the Transaction is renormalized.It should be noted that there is no notion of raw fees, as these are calculated at the time that a Transaction is charged and therefore only reflected as charged attributes. If a transaction is flagged as 'fee-on-top', this will be reflected by an increase in the `charged_total_gross_amount` that will not be visible in `raw_total_gross_amount`.Transactions may be in a number of different states: success, incomplete, canceled, refunded, cb_initiated, cb_lost, test, pending, failedAn additional transaction attribute relating to Passport is the `tax_entity_id`. Tax entities indicate that an Organization is tax compliant within a certain country. A single organization may have more than one tax entity. The `tax_entity_id` listed on the Transaction indicates which of the Organization's tax entities indicates the tax compliance of the Transaction.Transactions may have an associated 'context' attribute which provides data about the Transaction's original Campaign (this does not change between hard credit transfers) and whether or not the transaction is considered to incorporate Passport functionality. This attribute can be used for filtering and/or sorting when using index endpoints.
