Transaction types
The IXOPAY platform supports various transaction types, each serving a specific purpose in the payment processing flow.
Most of these transactions can be initiated by calling the corresponding Transaction API method.
Upon creation, each transaction is assigned a unique ID (uuid), which you should store in your database for future reference.
