ResponseCode Property

Indicates the status of the authorization request.

Syntax

 echeck.getResponseCode([callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getResponseCode([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setResponseCode([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Indicates the status of the authorization request. This property contains the actual response code as returned by the Gateway. Unlike the ResponseApproved property, this ResponseCode property may provide more details about why a transaction was declined. Therefore, it is recommended that developers check the ResponseCode as well as the ResponseApproved property. The Point of Sale system should evaluate this response code and NOT the ResponseText to determine nature of a response message. The current (at the time of this release) response codes for the supported Gateways are listed in the table of contents to your left.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.
