Terms explanation

[korotovsky]

Please help explain the terms:

• What does requestedAmount and processedAmount mean in FinancialTransaction class? And what is the difference between them?
• Who requests and who proceeds?
• In which cases requestedAmount and processedAmount can be different?

hi,
it's a very old issue, but I'll try to explain.

• requestedAmount is the amount which user requested during checkout
• processedAmount is the amount which has been processed by the payment provider.

Example:
You wanted to buy a shirt for £30 using gift card as a payment method. (requestedAmount == £30).
You have only £20 available on your gift card, so the payment provider can reserve these funds and your processedAmount == £20 is different than requested.

I hope it helps
