Hi , I implemented TERMINAL API and also the SquarePayform ( Website ) for a client a while ago . I recently made a change to also capture the returned receipt\_url string and save it into a table so we can email later… On occasion the returned json string doesn’t always contain the reciept\_url , but it does contain everything else , If I go and query the payment id later it’s there . Is there anything else I should consider like implementing some form of wait … Regards, Sam ---

I didn’t think a wait was necessary however if you do a retry is the URL in the next call? If so you could either do a wait or implement a retry method. 🙂 ---

Hi Bryan, I have implemented a slight wait and it seems to have done the trick so far . Will let you know if it re occurs. Sam
