When you receive a returns file from a bank or ACH processor, you may want to change a transaction status. To make a request that updates a transaction statue, you'll need the transaction ID in the endpoint. The body will include the updated status, a message explaining the change, and an R-code (if applicable). The possible transaction statuses are PROCESSING, FAILED, or SETTLED SUCCESSFULLY. Authorize.net transactions can also be VOIDED.
