API Questions about Checkout

With the introduction of modern checkout, some legacy REST methods were replaced with new methods that use transaction tokens to handle payment information. See the table below.

See the Luminate Online API Changelog for full details.

The following methods verify your form:

• validateDonateCheckout validates whether the payload passing in donateCheckout is valid or not.

• validateProcessRegistrationvalidates whether the payload passing in processRegistration is valid or not.

• validateAddGiftCheckout validates whether the payload passing in AddGiftCheckout is valid or not.

• validateOfflineOrganizationGiftCheckout validates whether the payload passing in OfflineOrganizationGiftCheckout is valid or not.

Updated API methods

• addGiftCheckout is supported for all payment types. If you use addGift for offline payments, the addGift API will continue to operate along with our new addGiftCheckout API until March, when only the addGiftCheckout API method will remain.

• Both processRegistration and refundTransaction were not replaced so as to minimize impact. However, changes were made to their logic and behavior. The new behavior reviews whether a transaction token is passed in the payload instead of card credentials. APIs require transaction token data instead of payment method information. The APIs were also updated to handle any transaction type supported in Luminate Online, including checkout transactions. In a future release, ProcessRegistration will handle PayPal payment methods (and other payment methods), so processRegistrationPaypal will no longer be needed.

• getTeamRaiserConfig no longer returns a transaction token or payment information.
