Hi Wix,

I implemented a feature base on the pay-API. I according to the documentation the returned object is

type PaymentResult = {
  payment: Payment
  status: string
  transactionId: string
}

and this

type Payment = {
  id: string
  amount: number
  currency: string
  items: Array<PaymentItem>
  userInfo: PaymentUserInfo
}

and create my code base on those.

But I realised in PRODUCTION that the actual response is

{ 
 "payment":{ 
  "id":"5***0**0-****-****-****-d363fa7***f2",
  "amount":70,
  "currency":"USD",
  "items":[ 
   {  }
  ]
 },
 "userInfo":{ 
  "firstName":"Margaret",
  "lastName":"****",
  "email":"**@***.net",
  "phone":"###-###-####",
  "country":"USA"
 },
 "status":"Successful",
 "transactionId":"ed****b1-****-4****-80**-ca****e2***8"
}

As you can see the userInfo has been moved from payment into the object’s root.

I’ve got to say my client and I are really pissed! There is no way to test the pay-API and the only thing we can rely on is the doc and we can’t trust it! That’s a business-critical feature (registering payment and notify the customer by email) that went down.

Please fix that and be more careful with your updates.

I keep on seeing those small errors & inconsistency in the doc that make us lose time & money.

In this case, It made my client lose money and it affects my business reputation!
