Overview

You can simulate the settlement of a transaction (or part of a transaction) by using the Simulate settlement.

Simulating a transaction settlement

To simulate the settlement of a transaction, use the POST /simulate/settlement operation and provide the parameters as shown in the table below.

Parameter	Type	Description
`transaction_id` ^required	string	The ID of the transaction to settle, for example `002e0f0e-e39d-4351-876c-afcad30d9c37`.
`amount`	string	Transaction amount as a decimal string with two digits of precision, for example `45.50`.

You can query this transaction using Retrieving transactions and Retrieving account balances.

An example of a request to settle a transaction is shown below.
