Step 6 - Handle The Post-Payment Response
In our SDKs, we don't support handling and managing any callback or IPNs. The post-payment notification/response that PayTabs send to the enabled IPNs configured on your PayTabs dashboard, will be handled separately on your backend, and the response should be passed to your mobile application via an internal API/web service that should pass only the related/desired data and information that will suit your business flow.

Step 7 - Manage Transactions
In our SDKs, we don't support handling and managing any existing transactions such refund, and capture.
however, you can get existing transaction status and full details using query transactions in most of the provided SDks, also till we support such features (refund, void and capture) you will have to either handle them from your PayTabs dashboard such as "Refund", or "Capture". Or you can use our PT2 API Endpoints direct within your code to perform any other desired transaction types.
