Question

AuctionCheckoutComplete notification payload does not contain the external transaction ID. Is there a way I can get the same?

Answer

Your can retrieve this data via the API. The ExternalTransactionID field is returned by most calls that return transaction related data once the item/order has been paid for. There are two order scenarios -

1. Single item order -

Make a call to GetItemTransactions as below and retrieve the ExternalTransactionID the from the response.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetItemTransactionsRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>token>/eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
<ItemID>ItemID</ItemID>
<TransactionID>TransID</TransactionID>
<DetailLevel>ReturnAll</DetailLevel>
</GetItemTransactionsRequest>

2. Multi-item order -

Retrieve the OrderID from the notification or by making a call to GetItemTransactions as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetItemTransactionsRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>token>/eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
<ItemID>ItemID</ItemID>
<TransactionID>TransID</TransactionID>
<IncludeContainingOrder>true</IncludeContainingOrder>
<DetailLevel>ReturnAll</DetailLevel>
</GetItemTransactionsRequest>

Then make a call to GetOrders or GetOrderTransactions and retrieve the ExternalTransactionID the from the response. Below is a sample GetOrderTransactions request -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GetOrderTransactionsRequest xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<DetailLevel>ReturnAll</DetailLevel>
<OrderIDArray>
<OrderID>OrderID</OrderID>
</OrderIDArray>
<RequesterCredentials>
<eBayAuthToken>token>/eBayAuthToken>
</RequesterCredentials>
</GetOrderTransactionsRequest>
