Vendor Direct Fulfillment Transaction Status API v1 Use Case Guide

Help vendors in the direct fulfillment (DF) program use the Transaction Status API to manage their direct fulfillment operations.

API Version: v1

What is the Direct Fulfillment Transaction Status API?

Vendors can use this API to check the transaction status of their POST transactions.

The following operation is included:

Operation	HTTP Method	Path	Description
`getTransactionStatus`	GET	`/vendor/directFulfillment/transactions/v1/transactions/{transactionId}`	Returns the status of the transaction indicated by the specified `transactionId`.

getTransactionStatus

Vendors can use the getTransactionStatus operation to check the status of a POST transaction. When a request is posted to Amazon using certain POST operations in the vendor APIs, such as submitAcknowledgement or submitShipmentConfirmations, for example, a successful response contains a transaction ID that uniquely identifies the transaction. Amazon will process the transaction asynchronously, and the final response will be available via the getTransactionStatus operation.

Refer to the corresponding integration workflow diagram in the other sections of this guide to understand when to call the getTransactionStatus operation to get the transaction status.

Amazon offers the final processed status for POST transactions such as submitAcknowledgement and submitShipmentConfirmations via this API. We highly recommend that vendors check the status using this API to ensure that transactions were processed successfully. If an error occurred you will receive the error details so you can correct the transaction and resubmit it.

Transaction Status	Definition
`Processing`	The API transaction was received by Amazon is being processed. The processing is not completed yet. Check the SLA for each API operation for the expected time to complete processing.
`Success`	The API transaction was successfully processed by Amazon.
`Failure`	The API transaction failed during processing. The error details will be provided in the `getTransactionStatus` response body.

The transaction status is supported for the following Direct Fulfillment APIs:

Description	API Section	Operation
Acknowledge Order	Direct Fulfillment Orders	`submitAcknowledgement`
Submit Shipment Confirmations	Direct Fulfillment Shipping	`submitShipmentConfirmations`
Shipping Label Request	Direct Fulfillment Shipping	`submitShippingLabelRequest`
Shipping Status Updates	Direct Fulfillment Shipping	`submitShipmentStatusUpdates`
Inventory Update	Direct Fulfillment Inventory	`submitInventoryUpdate`
Invoice	Direct Fulfillment Payments	`submitInvoice`

The transaction status supports only Processing and Failure status codes for now. If the transaction status is Processing and has not been updated to Failure after 30 minutes, that indicates the transaction has successfully processed in our systems. The Success status will be supported in the future.
