How do I serialize (NewtonSoft) a class that includes an interface with a property named Type?

Question

I need to serialize a result of this class (Assembly Adyen, Version=6.0.0.0):

<Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute>
Public Class PaymentResponse
    Implements IEquatable(Of PaymentResponse), IValidatableObject

    Public Sub New(...)

    ...
   <Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute(Name:="action", EmitDefaultValue:=False)>
    Public Property Action As IPaymentResponseAction

    ...        

End Class

Looking at the result, I have Action.PaymentData, Action.PaymentMethodType, Action.Token, Action.[Type] and Action.Url as expected: Screenshot of Autos

But when I serialize the result,

Dim tmp As String = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(ret, GetType(PaymentResponse), New 
                     Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializerSettings() With {.[Error] = AddressOf jsonerror})

I only get:

{
  "resultCode": "IdentifyShopper",
  "action": {
  "paymentData": "XXX",
  "paymentMethodType": "scheme",
  "token": "YYY"
},
"authentication": {
"threeds2.fingerprintToken": "ZZZ"
},
"details": [
 {
  "key": "threeds2.fingerprint",
  "type": "text"
 }
],
"paymentData": "QQQ"
}

I'm not getting Action.[Type] and "Action.Url" in my Json string.

jsonerror()

is never hit.

EDIT: I added a tracewriter:

Dim tracewriter As Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.ITraceWriter = New 
                      Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.MemoryTraceWriter
Dim tmp As String = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(ret, 
                      GetType(PaymentResponse), New 
                      Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializerSettings() With 
                     {.TraceWriter = tracewriter, .[Error] = AddressOf 
                        jsonerror})

And everything looks fine, except I'm not getting the action.[type] serialized:

This is a bug in the Adyen .NET library. The implementation classes for IPaymentResponseAction is missing DataMember annotations. There is a fix ready to be merged and will be available in the next patch release soon. I suggest you update to the patch version when released.

For the URL field, it will be available only for certain actions like redirect, like for ideal payment method. FOr scheme, as in your case, URL is not applicable.
