responseEscalationACQP → Alipay+

POST /aps/api/v1/disputes/responseEscalation

The responseEscalation API is used by the Acquiring Service Provider (ACQP) to send the information that is related to an escalation to Alipay+, as a reply to Alipay+'s initiateEscalation request. 

Structure

A message consists of a header and body. The following sections are focused on the body structure. For the header structure, see:

Note:

Set the data type of each field (except array) as String. This means that you must use double quotation marks (" ") to enclose the field value. Examples:

  • If the data type of a field is Integer and its value is 20, set it as "20".
  • If the data type of a field is Boolean and its value is true, set it as "true".

For optional parameters that are not required in your case, you can:

  • exclude it from the request body. 
  • set its value as null (without the double quotation marks).

Do NOT leave it empty by setting its value as ""; otherwise, an error might occur. 

Request parameters

disputeRequestId String  REQUIRED

The unique ID that is assigned by Alipay+ to identify an escalation. 

Important: If two requests specify the same value for disputeRequestId but different values for paymentRequestId, Alipay+ returns REPEAT_REQ_INCONSISTENT for the second request. 

More information:

  • This field is an API idempotency field.
  • Maximum length: 64 characters

refundType String  REQUIRED

The refund result that reflects whether the ACQP agrees to refund or not. Valid values are:

  • ACCEPT_REFUND: indicates that the refund is accepted.
  • ACCEPT_PARTIAL_REFUND: indicates that the refund is partially accepted.
  • REFUSE_REFUND: indicates that the refund is refused. 

refundAmount Amount  

The amount that the ACQP agrees to refund. 

The value of refundAmount.value cannot exceed the value of escalationAmount.value that is specified by Alipay+ in the initiateEscalation API. The value of refundAmount.currency needs to be the same as the value of paymentAmount.currency in the pay API.

Specify this parameter if refundType is ACCEPT_PARTIAL_REFUND. When refundType is ACCEPT_REFUND, the value of refundAmount.value is by default the same as the value of escalationAmount.value that is specified by Alipay+ in the initiateEscalation API.
