(nullable) - `lastModificationTime` (string(date-time)): The date and time when this entity was last modified. (nullable) - `lastModifierId` (string(uuid)): The ID of the user who last modified this entity. (nullable) - `isDeleted` (boolean): Indicates whether this entity has been deleted. - `deleterId` (string(uuid)): The ID of the user who deleted this entity, if it is deleted. (nullable) - `deletionTime` (string(date-time)): The date and time when this entity was deleted, if it is deleted. (nullable) - `merchantId` (string(uuid)): The merchant this configuration belongs to. - `tenantId` (string(uuid)): Owning tenant (null in the host tenant). (nullable) - `isEnabled` (boolean): Whether surcharging is currently enabled for the merchant. (nullable) - `status` ([SurchargeConfigurationStatus](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/SurchargeConfigurationStatus.md)): Persisted lifecycle status of the configuration. (nullable) Values: - `NotConfigured`: No surcharging has been set up for the merchant. - `PendingNotice`: Configuration exists but the required card-brand notice has not been filed. - `WaitingPeriod`: Notice filed; the mandatory waiting period is still running. - `Active`: Surcharging is live. - `Disabled`: Surcharging was turned off after having been configured. - `waitingPeriodExpiresAt` (string(date-time)): The instant surcharging becomes permitted, i.e. when the mandatory notice waiting period elapses. Surcharging is blocked until this is in the past. (nullable) - `noticeFiledAt` (string(date-time)): When the most recent notice was recorded in WinkPG. (nullable) - `noticeFiledBy` (string): The user who filed the most recent notice. (nullable) - `noticeAttestedDate` (string(date-time)): The calendar date the merchant attested they filed the most recent notice with the card networks, when that predates `noticeFiledAt`. Null when the notice was filed as of the record date, and on every notice recorded before this fact existed. (nullable) - `defaultRate` (number(double)): Default surcharge rate (decimal fraction) when no network override applies. (nullable) - `channelRestrictions` ([SurchargeChannelFlags](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/SurchargeChannelFlags.md)): The channels surcharging applies to. Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names. (nullable) Values: - `None`: No channels enabled. - `VirtualTerminal`: Merchant-operated virtual terminal. - `Api`: Direct API integrations. - `HostedPaymentPage`: Hosted payment pages. - `RecurringBilling`: Recurring / scheduled billing. - `processorAccountId` (string): The processor account under which the current notice / waiting period was established. (nullable) - `disclosureCopyTemplate` (string): The merchant's own surcharge disclosure copy in the `SurchargeDisclosureCopy` token grammar, or null when the platform default copy applies. (nullable) - `attestedCostOfAcceptanceRate` (number(double)): The merchant's attested effective cost of acceptance (decimal fraction), a hard ceiling. (nullable) - `costOfAcceptanceAttestedAt` (string(date-time)): When the cost-of-acceptance rate was attested. (nullable) - `costOfAcceptanceAttestedBy` (string): The user who attested the cost-of-acceptance rate. (nullable) - `differentialNetworkRatesAttested` (boolean): Whether differing surcharge rates across the allowed card networks have been attested as carrying documented legal signoff. Required before such a rate set can be saved. (nullable) - `differentialNetworkRatesAttestedAt` (string(date-time)): When the differential-rate signoff was attested. (nullable) - `differentialNetworkRatesAttestedBy` (string): The user who attested the differential-rate signoff. (nullable) - `forceEnabledAt` (string(date-time)): When surcharging was activated through the non-production waiting-period bypass, if it ever was. Null on every configuration activated the normal way, so a non-null value is the signal that this merchant's notice waiting period was not actually served. (nullable) - `forceEnabledBy` (string): The user who activated surcharging through the non-production bypass. (nullable) - `promotionHeldAt` (string(date-time)): When an explicit promotion hold was placed on this configuration, or null when none is in force. While it is set, the waiting-period sweep will not promote the configuration and both enable and force enable are refused with `Surcharging:PromotionHeld`. (nullable) - `promotionHeldBy` (string): The user who placed the promotion hold currently in force. (nullable) - `promotionHoldReason` (string): Why the promotion hold currently in force was placed, when a reason was given. (nullable) - `disabledAt` (string(date-time)): When surcharging was last disabled on this configuration, or null when it has not been disabled since it was last enabled. While it is set, the waiting-period sweep will not promote the configuration, even after a notice filed since the disable has returned `status` to `WaitingPeriod`. Enabling or force enabling the configuration clears it. (nullable) - `disabledBy` (string): The user who applied the disable currently in force. (nullable) - `autoPromotionBlockedReason` ([SurchargeAutoPromotionBlockReason](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/SurchargeAutoPromotionBlockReason.md)): Why the deployment's auto-promotion source policy is refusing to promote this configuration, or null when it is not refusing. (nullable) Values: - `NoApiFiledNotice`: The policy is ApiFiledOnly and none of the notices the waiting period counts was filed under an API key. Filing a fresh notice over the API clears it; the waiting period runs again from that notice. - `PolicyNone`: The policy is None, so nothing promotes on this deployment whatever the notices say. Only an operator changing the policy clears it. - `networkPolicies` (array<[SurchargeNetworkPolicyDto](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/SurchargeNetworkPolicyDto.md)>): Per-network surcharge policies. (nullable) Fields of each item: - `network` (string) required: The card network this policy applies to. Required, and it must be one of these spellings: Visa; Mastercard, Master Card or MC; Discover; Amex or American Express; JCB; Diners, Diners Club or Diners Club International; UnionPay, Union Pay, China Union Pay, China UnionPay or CUP; Interac. Case and surrounding spaces are ignored, and the name is stored and returned as sent. A configuration names each network once: two spellings of one network (Mastercard and MC) are the same network. (nullable, max length 64) - `isAllowed` (boolean) required: Whether surcharging is allowed on this network. (nullable) - `customRate` (number(double)): Optional network-specific rate override (decimal fraction); null uses the default rate. Conditional: When CustomRate is not null. Range: 0 to 0.03. (nullable) - `statePolicies` (array<[SurchargeStatePolicyDto](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/SurchargeStatePolicyDto.md)>): Per-state surcharge policies. (nullable) Fields of each item: - `stateCode` (string) required: Two-letter US state code (e.g. "CO", "NY"). (nullable) - `restrictionType` ([SurchargeStateRestrictionType](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/SurchargeStateRestrictionType.md)) required: How the state restricts surcharging. (nullable) Values: - `Prohibited`: Surcharging is prohibited outright in the state. - `Restricted`: Surcharging is allowed but constrained (e.g. a state cap or disclosure rules). - `Permissive`: Surcharging is permitted with no state-specific restriction beyond network rules. - `capRate` (number(double)): Optional state-imposed maximum rate (decimal fraction). Null means the state applies no numeric cap beyond network rules. Conditional: When CapRate is not null. Must be >= 0. (nullable) - `notices` (array<[SurchargeNoticeRecordDto](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/SurchargeNoticeRecordDto.md)>): Filed card-brand notices (per network). (nullable) Fields of each item: - `noticeId` (string(uuid)): The notice's identifier, used to name it in an amendment. Null on a notice recorded before notice identifiers were assigned; such a notice cannot be amended and is corrected by filing a new one. (nullable) - `network` (string): The card network the notice covers; null for an all-network notice. (nullable) - `filedAt` (string(date-time)): When this record was created in WinkPG. (nullable) - `attestedNoticeDate` (string(date-time)): The calendar date the merchant attested they filed notice with the card networks, when that predates `filedAt`. Null when the notice was filed as of the record date. (nullable) - `effectiveAt` (string(date-time)): When the notice becomes effective (the network is surchargeable at/after this instant). (nullable) - `filedByUserId` (string): The user who filed the notice. (nullable) - `filedByApiKeyId` (string(uuid)): The API key the notice was filed under, or null when it was not filed over the API (a notice filed from the portal records neither this nor `filedByApiKeyName`, and so does every notice recorded before provenance was captured). (nullable) - `filedByApiKeyName` (string): The display name the API key carried when the notice was filed. Never re-resolved, so a key renamed since keeps naming itself here the way it was named at the time. (nullable) - `referenceNumber` (string): The notice reference number issued by the network / processor. The only field an amendment changes. (nullable) - `amendedAt` (string(date-time)): When the reference number was last amended, or null when it never has been. (nullable) - `amendedBy` (string(uuid)): The user who last amended the reference number, or null when it has never been amended or the amending caller carried no user id. (nullable) - `processorAccountId` (string): The processor account the notice was filed under: a processor profile id from the merchant's processing settings, or null for a notice that covers every processor. A value recorded before filing checked it against the merchant's profiles reads back exactly as it was written. (nullable) - `coversAllProcessors` (boolean): Whether the notice covers every card processor the merchant is boarded on, which is true when it names no processor account. - `coveredProcessorProfileIds` (array): The card processor profiles the notice covers: the one it names, or every card processor profile on the merchant for a notice that names none. Empty when the stored processor account is not a profile id, or when the merchant's profiles could not be read for an all-processor notice. (nullable) - `cardProcessorCoverage` (array<[SurchargeCardProcessorCoverageDto](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/SurchargeCardProcessorCoverageDto.md)>): Every card processor profile the merchant is boarded on, and whether a filed notice covers each one. Null when the merchant's processing settings could not be read for this response. (nullable) Fields of each item: - `processorProfileId` (string(uuid)): The processor profile id from the merchant's processing settings. - `processorId` (string): The processor the profile routes to, for example `tsys`. (nullable) - `processorName` (string): The processor's display name. (nullable) - `isActive` (boolean): Whether the profile is active. Only an active profile needs a covering notice before surcharging is activated, and only while the platform requires notice coverage per processor. - `isCovered` (boolean): Whether a counted notice covers this profile. - `concurrencyStamp` (string): Optimistic-concurrency token; supply the value read here when updating.

An entry carries code when the validator declared a publishable one, and memberPaths when the full path says more than members does (an element inside a collection, for example). Both keys are omitted when they would add nothing. ```json { "error": { "code": "null", "message": "Your request is not valid!", "details": "The following errors were detected during validation.", "data": { "correlationId": "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef" }, "validationErrors": [ { "message": "'Amount' must be greater than 0.", "members": [ "amount" ] }, { "message": "The card has expired.", "members": [ "expirationDate" ], "code": "CardData:CardExpired" }, { "message": "'Value' must not be empty.", "members": [ "value" ], "memberPaths": [ "customFields[2].value" ] } ] } } ``` ### 404 Not Found **Content type:** `application/json` Schema: [`RemoteServiceErrorResponse`](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RemoteServiceErrorResponse.md) Properties: - `error` ([RemoteServiceErrorInfo](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RemoteServiceErrorInfo.md)) _Example: Resource not found_ The id in the path names no record the caller can see. Most resources answer with a null error.code and a message naming the resource type and the id; a resource that publishes a not-found code in the catalog above carries it in error.code instead, so check for one before matching on the message. ```json { "error": { "code": "null", "message": "There is no entity Transaction with id = 7d1f3a52-0c4e-4b8a-9e21-5a6b7c8d9e00!", "details": "null", "data": { "correlationId": "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef" }, "validationErrors": "null" } } ``` ### 501 Not Implemented **Content type:** `application/json` Schema: [`RemoteServiceErrorResponse`](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RemoteServiceErrorResponse.md) Properties: - `error` ([RemoteServiceErrorInfo](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RemoteServiceErrorInfo.md)) ### 500 Internal Server Error **Content type:** `application/json` Schema: [`RemoteServiceErrorResponse`](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RemoteServiceErrorResponse.md) Properties: - `error` ([RemoteServiceErrorInfo](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RemoteServiceErrorInfo.md)) ### default The request failed. The body carries the standard error envelope: a machine-readable `error.code`, a human-readable `error.message`, and `error.validationErrors` when the failure was a validation rejection. The [error reference](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/errors.md) lists the values `error.code` can take. **Content type:** `application/json` Schema: [`RemoteServiceErrorResponse`](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RemoteServiceErrorResponse.md) Properties: - `error` ([RemoteServiceErrorInfo](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RemoteServiceErrorInfo.md)) _Example: Business rule refused the request_ The request was understood and rejected by a platform rule. This is the shape that carries a code from the catalog above, so branch on error.code rather than on the message text. The HTTP status is the one listed against the code. ```json { "error": { "code": "Transactions:OperationNotAllowed", "message": "The operation 'Void' is not allowed on a Sale transaction with result 'Approved' and settlement state 'Settled'.", "details": "null", "data": { "correlationId": "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef" }, "validationErrors": "null" } } ``` ### 429 The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause. **Content type:** `application/problem+json` Schema: [`RateLimitProblemDetails`](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RateLimitProblemDetails.md) Properties: - `type` (string) required: The problem type identifier. Always the same value: the failure is the status code itself, so there is no sub-type for a caller to branch on. (nullable) - `title` (string) required: A short, human-readable summary of the problem type. (nullable) - `status` (integer(int32)) required: The HTTP status code, repeated in the body as the problem-details format defines. - `detail` (string) required: A human-readable explanation of this occurrence of the problem. (nullable) - `retryAfterSeconds` (integer(int32)) required: How long to wait before retrying, in whole seconds, carrying the same figure as the `Retry-After` header. Always at least one: a value of zero would invite an immediate retry that is certain to be rejected again. **Content type:** `application/json` Schema: [`RemoteServiceErrorResponse`](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RemoteServiceErrorResponse.md) Properties: - `error` ([RemoteServiceErrorInfo](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RemoteServiceErrorInfo.md)) ## Example request Every block below sends the same request.
