Description

Paytrail calls the notify URL with a GET request when the refund status changes. The received notification must be acknowledged by responding with an HTTP status in the 200–299 range.

If an update is not acknowledged by the receiving end, the update to that refund is postponed until the next retry round. Updates will be retried after 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45 and 55 hours, after which the notification is discarded. This may cause some updates to be skipped if the notification URL endpoint cannot be contacted within 55 hours.
