The Create Local Bank Transfer (LBT) Transaction request obtains account details for a transaction. The shopper must complete the transaction. Their account is not immediately debited. For more information on Local Bank Transfer, refer to the Local Bank Transfer guide.

📘
Short payments
If the amount received from the shopper is less than the order total, this is considered a short payment. If a short payment requires your approval, send a Merchant Approve Transaction request with the transaction ID.
