Error Codes

The Card Acceptance API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general:

• codes in the 2xx range indicate success
• codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, a header is missing, etc.
• codes in the 5xx range indicate server/system errors

As our API can raise errors for many reasons, such as a failed charge, invalid parameters, authentication errors. We recommend writing code that gracefully handles all possible error codes.

All the errors include an error code and a short human-readable message that briefly explains the error reported (you can use it internally but don't share it with your clients/users).

Error responses

Error responses are a combination of the HTTP response code, the service code, and the case code.
