In this article we learn how to create transactions in Magento 2 . A transaction is proof that payment has been done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Magento, a transaction is automatically created when an invoice is generated, so developers usually don\u2019t need to handle it manually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this changes when implementing an online payment method<\/a> that redirects customers to an external payment gateway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the customer completes the payment and is redirected back to the merchant\u2019s website with payment data, the transaction may need to be created manually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In such cases, developers must use a code snippet to create the transaction programmatically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

public function createTransaction($order = null, $paymentData = array())\n{\n    try {\n        \/\/get payment object from order object\n        $payment = $order->getPayment();\n        $payment->setLastTransId($paymentData['id']);\n        $payment->setTransactionId($paymentData['id']);\n        $payment->setAdditionalInformation(\n            [\\Magento\\Sales\\Model\\Order\\Payment\\Transaction::RAW_DETAILS => (array) $paymentData]\n        );\n        $formatedPrice = $order->getBaseCurrency()->formatTxt(\n            $order->getGrandTotal()\n        );\n\n        $message = __('The authorized amount is %1.', $formatedPrice);\n        \/\/get the object of builder class\n        $trans = $this->_transactionBuilder;\n        $transaction = $trans->setPayment($payment)\n        ->setOrder($order)\n        ->setTransactionId($paymentData['id'])\n        ->setAdditionalInformation(\n            [\\Magento\\Sales\\Model\\Order\\Payment\\Transaction::RAW_DETAILS => (array) $paymentData]\n        )\n        ->setFailSafe(true)\n        \/\/build method creates the transaction and returns the object\n        ->build(\\Magento\\Sales\\Model\\Order\\Payment\\Transaction::TYPE_CAPTURE);\n\n        $payment->addTransactionCommentsToOrder(\n            $transaction,\n            $message\n        );\n        $payment->setParentTransactionId(null);\n        $payment->save();\n        $order->save();\n\n        return  $transaction->save()->getTransactionId();\n    } catch (Exception $e) {\n        \/\/log errors here\n    }\n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In the above code, I have created a function that will accept two params,
the first parameter is $order which is of type Magento\\Sales\\Model\\Order,
you need to load the order with order id, I suppose you know about this .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the second param $paymentData is assumed to be an array that is returned by the
payment gateway after successful pament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We assume that the $paymmentData[‘id’] holds the id of the successful payment.
$this->_transactionBuilder is of type :
Magento\\Sales\\Model\\Order\\Payment\\Transaction\\BuilderInterface,
you don’t need to worry about the Interface magento2 already defines it in
sales-module di.xml, preference class for the interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the build method is called on the builder class after setting the required
params, it automatically creates the transaction object and saves the transaction
within the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thats all in this, hope it will help you, try the above code and
if you have any issue just comment below \ud83d\ude42 .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
