Fundraising/Data and flow/Transaction IDs
< Fundraising | Data and flow
Each financial transaction has IDs associated, with a range of targets and granularities.
trxn vs txn
Civi uses the trxn naming in their database tables. In wmf_contribution_extra though it has gateway_txn_id. This is what is used in the queue messages and throughout our code.
| ID | Abbreviation | Target | Granularity | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contribution Tracking ID | CTID | contribution_tracking.id | per session | This is the largest granularity association, and spans all attempts made by this donor until we cut them off for being frustrating.
Ingenico: also at transaction.Merchant Reference |

| CiviCRM Contribution ID | civicrm_contribution.id | per completed payment | The local CRM ID, only assigned once a donation is recorded in our system. You can search for this ID (and the Contact ID) in the quicksearch box in the top-left corner of the page. | ||
| CiviCRM Transaction ID | civicrm_contribution.trxn_id | per completed payment | This is another CRM local ID, usually based on the gateway name, gateway transaction ID and a timestamp or other sequence fields when necessary to guarantee uniqueness. | ||
| Gateway Transaction ID | wmf_contribution_extra.gateway_txn_id | depends on gateway | Processor's ID for this transaction. This has different meanings depending on the processor (see below). | Ingenico:
000000293000000010370000100001 | |
|
INGENICO | Recurring payments share the same Order ID, so we append the Effort ID when creating a local Transaction ID. | |||
| Ingenico hosted checkout ID | Temporarily stored in smashpig.pending.message, under a JSON property called gateway_session_id. | Per session | An ID generated when we make the initial createHostedCheckout call to Ingenico, before we redirect the donor to their form. When the donor comes back, we use this ID to query the status of their payment session and see if it has a transaction associated with it. | 064358d8-367d-71ff-9f8f-4ee7c57237c0 | |
|
PAYPAL | ||||
| PayPal Checkout Token | Temporarily stored in smashpig.pending.message, under a JSON property called gateway_session_id. | Per session | Similar to Ingenico's hosted checkout ID, created before redirect and used after return to query whether a payment exists. | EC-4VW60845G5703234A | |

Amazon has IDs for each stage of the process - one ID for the authorization, one for the capture, one for the billing agreement. | ||||

| Recurring? | RECURRING ... | Term in civicrm_contribution.trxn_id | N/A | This is a flag in trxn_id to let us know that payments are part of a subscription. | |
| Refund? | RFD ... | Term in civicrm_contribution.trxn_id | N/A | Flag to let us know that the payment was a refund. In the distant past we had to create a separate contribution with a negative amount in order to record refunds. Nowadays we just set the contribution_status_id to 9 (Refunded). We will create a separate contribution with transaction prefix RFD if for some reason (currency fluctuation, perhaps) we have to refund more than the original amount. | |
| CiviCRM Invoice ID | civicrm_contribution.invoice_id | Contribution Tracking ID plus a sequence indicator (incremented on each attempt with the same CT ID). Usually separated by a '.', except for Amazon Pay which uses a '-' due to allowed character restrictions.

| Gateway Subscription ID | FIXME: Start a custom table for this, or make the trxn_id transformation reversible? | Per recurring donation | |||
| CiviCRM Recurring Contribution ID | civicrm_contribution_recur.id | Foreign key for civicrm_contribution.contribution_recur_id | |||
| CiviCRM Subscription ID | civicrm_contribution_recur.trxn_id | We make a unique key from the Gateway Subscription ID, usually by prefixing with the gateway name, but this hasn't been standardized yet.
Ingenico Tokenized subscriptions do not have the gateway name prefixed Updonate subscriptions do |

Updonate: INGENICO 123 | ||
| CiviCRM Processor ID | civicrm_contribution_recur.processor_id | Gateway Subscription ID | 123 | ||
| CiviCRM recurring Invoice ID | civicrm_contribution_recur.invoice_id | We stash the Adyen 'Shopper ID' here and pass it to SmashPig as 'processor_contact_id' to charge recurring payments | |||
| Initial Scheme Transaction ID | civicrm_contribution_recur_smashpig.initial_scheme_transaction_id | ID set at the card network for transactions authenticated with 3DS. Ingenico says we have to save the ID of the first transaction and send it along with each recurring installment. |
