Handling Invalid/Expired Tokens

There are scenarios where merchants need to re-initiate authorization. There are two ways on how the merchant is notified of invalid tokens:

  1. During direct debit. If the response has the failure reason:  INVALID_PAYMENT_METHOD_ERROR
  2. Via callback. Merchant may provide Xendit an endpoint for Xendit to send a POST request notifying the merchant that this specific account has been determined to be expiring or has become invalid. The callback parameters are specified below:

Expiring Payment Method

Sends a callback object when a certain access token tied to a payment method is determined to be expiring.
