Use this method to fetch a single transaction by its ID, including its stage breakdown. Call it after a payment flow completes (for example, when client.setupApplePay(), client.setupGooglePay(), or client.setupBuy() emits complete) to poll for the final transaction status. For request and response details, see the Get a transaction API.
Get a transaction
import { useMoonPay } from "@moonpay/platform-sdk-react-native";

export function TransactionDetails({
  transactionId,
}: {
  transactionId: string;
}) {
  const { client } = useMoonPay();

  const load = async () => {
    const result = await client.getTransaction(transactionId);

    if (!result.ok) {
      // Handle error
      console.error(result.error.code, result.error.message);
      return;
    }

    console.log(result.value.data);
  };

  // ...
}

​
Parameters

client.getTransaction() takes a single positional argument.
ArgumentTypeRequiredDescription
idstring✅The MoonPay ID of the transaction.
This method does not require a separate auth token. The client uses stored credentials from an active connection.

​
Result

client.getTransaction() returns a Result<{ data: TransactionWithStages }, GetTransactionsError>.

​
Result envelope

Result<{ data: TransactionWithStages }, GetTransactionsError>
FieldTypeRequiredDescription
okboolean✅Whether the operation succeeded.
value{ data: TransactionWithStages }Present when ok is true.
errorGetTransactionsErrorPresent when ok is false.

​
TransactionWithStages

A transaction with its stage breakdown. See the Transaction object for every field, and the Get a transaction API for the response shape.
FieldTypeRequiredDescription
idstring✅The MoonPay ID of the transaction.
statusTransactionStatus✅The current transaction status. See the Transaction object for the full list of statuses.
sourceobject✅The source amount and asset (fiat currency).
destinationobject✅The destination amount and asset (cryptocurrency).
createdAtstring✅An ISO 8601 timestamp of when the transaction was created.
stagesStage[]✅The transaction’s pipeline stages, each with a kind and status.

​
GetTransactionsError

GetTransactionsError is the standard MoonPay Platform API error shape, DevPlatformApiError.
FieldTypeRequiredDescription
codeDevPlatformApiErrorCode✅A machine-readable error code (for example, "not_found", "unauthorized"). See the error reference for the full list.
messagestring✅A developer-friendly message.
errorsDevPlatformApiErrorDetail[]Optional list of field-level errors.

Example: poll until terminal status

After a payment flow emits complete, poll client.getTransaction() until the transaction reaches a terminal status. The set of terminal statuses depends on the flow — check the Transaction object reference for the values that apply.
Poll for final status
const TERMINAL_STATUSES = new Set(["completed", "failed"]);

async function pollTransaction(transactionId: string) {
  while (true) {
    const result = await client.getTransaction(transactionId);

    if (!result.ok) {
      throw new Error(result.error.message);
    }

    const transaction = result.value.data;

    if (TERMINAL_STATUSES.has(transaction.status)) {
      return transaction;
    }

    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 3000));
  }
}
Webhook support is coming soon. Until then, use polling to track transaction status.
