Step 4: Receive Inbound Credit Transfer Completion

Overview

After receiving an Inbound Credit Transfer Response from you, Electrum finalises the transfer on the payment network. Following this, Electrum notifies you that the transaction is complete via an inboundCreditTransferCompletion request. This serves as confirmation of the final state of the payment.

Financial Impact

The completion step has a possible financial impact. Be sure to consider these important factors when handling this step:

Electrum treats the inboundCreditTransferCompletion as a must-deliver message and will repeatedly send it until you acknowledge receipt.
Once Electrum has received your acknowledgement to the inboundCreditTransferCompletion, then it is assumed that the transaction is final.
Refer to the status.outcome field to determine whether or not funds should be credited.
In rare circumstances, Electrum may be unable to determine the final state of the transaction from the payment network. In this case you will not receive an inboundCreditTransferCompletion and no action is required from you. Any discrepancy between your view of the transaction and that of the sending participant will need to be resolved during reconciliation.

Implementing the API

Electrum sends an inboundCreditTransferCompletion request to your /transactions/inbound/credit-transfer-completion endpoint. The request will conform to the following schema:
