# Transaction.finalizeCustomerAction

The `finalizeCustomerAction` method completes the authorization of a Hosted Page payment method validation transaction. Use this method only when working with a `Transaction` that is paid for with this payment method.

**Note:** The customer’s Account must exist before calling `finalizeCustomerAction`.

## Input

*srd*: sparse response description, a SOAP string (which must be a JSON object), in which you specify the elements you want returned.This parameter enables the calling system to constrain a `method` call to return only components you specify. This gives you greater control over returned content, and improves response time within the Vindicia platform by reducing the processing needed for the call.

Some fields are required, either practically or in the WSDL, and will be returned regardless of the *srd*. A null *srd* returns the complete response.

*transactionVid*: Vindicia’s ID for the `Transaction` generated for a HostedPage payment method. This will be available to you through the URL when your customer is redirected to your site by the payment provider.

## Output

*return*: an object of type `Return` that indicates the success or failure of the call.

*transaction*: the resultant `Transaction` object after finalization. It contains the updated `status` of the transaction.

## Returns

This method returns the codes listed in [The Return Object](The_Return_Object).

## Example

```

// Create a new Transaction with payment_product = 702
// The Transaction will be created with status: "New."
$tx = new_transaction($identifier, "702");
 
// Call authCapture on this transaction. 
// Note: There is no support for the auth call. 
// By definition, an auth request for Payment Methods 
// aggregated through Hosted Pages will result in 
// the transaction being captured. 
// The Transaction status will be changed to
// "PendingCustomerAction" until your customer completes 
// the payment on the hosted pages.
 
$rc = $trans->authCapture($trans, 0, 1, 1);
 
// Set the status of the Transaction to “AuthorizedPending” 
// in case of success.
$rc = $trans->finalizeCustomerAction($VID);
```
