Error Codes

Links to error code reference

Transaction response codes

When using our services, you might end up with a transaction that was declined. This is usually signaled by a response with a TxApproved value of false and a decline code in the ErrCode field. You can then display the RespMsg to the user to explain the error.

If you want to be able to tell when a specific type of error occurs, you can use our decline code reference and handle them accordingly.
