# prioritisetransaction | Bitcoin

> Reference for the prioritisetransaction JSON-RPC method on the Bitcoin blockchain via Chainstack nodes. Parameters, response, and examples included.

The `prioritisetransaction` method is used to temporarily increase the priority of a transaction in the mempool, making it more likely to be included in a block. This can be useful for transactions that need to be confirmed more quickly.

## Parameters

* `txid` (required): The transaction ID of the transaction to prioritise.
* `priority delta` (required): The amount by which to increase the transaction's priority. This is a relative increase, not an absolute number.
* `fee delta` (required): The amount in satoshis by which to increase the transaction's fee. This can help the transaction get included in a block faster.

## Response

* `result` — a boolean indicating whether the transaction priority was successfully increased.
* `error` — an object containing an error message if an error occurred, otherwise `null`.
* `id` — an integer representing the ID of the request.

## Use case

The `prioritisetransaction` method is particularly useful in scenarios where a transaction has been submitted with a low fee, and the sender wishes to increase its chance of being included in the next block without resubmitting the transaction with a higher fee.
