Step 4. Review the transactions that have matching identifiers
The response to listTransactions contains the transactions array. For each transaction in this array, examine the elements of the relatedIdentifiers array. For each relatedIdentifier, if the relatedIdentifierName is EVENT_GROUP_ID, check if the relatedIdentifierValue matches the FinancialEventGroupId obtained in Step 2. Identify the appropriate FinancialEventGroupId. If it does, then this transaction is part of the payment.
