EPResponse Type

Contains an authorization code when a transaction has been approved. This field contains an authorization code when a transaction has been approved. If the Code returned indicates that the transaction is not approved, then the contents of this field should be ignored.

Indicates the status of the last transaction. This field will be True if the last transaction was approved. However, you should not rely solely on the value contained in this property. After every transaction, the Code should be inspected and evaluated according to the specifications of the Gateway in use. A list of response codes for each gateway is listed in the table of contents. However, it is recommended that the developer acquire the current list from the Gateway which is being used.

The amount approved for the transaction, this is the amount actually charged to the credit card.

This field is primarily used when gateways allow partial authorizations and AllowPartialAuths is 'True'. Thus this field is not used by all gateways and should not alone be used to determine if a transaction was successful (such as in the case that this field is not populated).

Contains the Address Verification System result code. This one character field contains the Address Verification Service (AVS) result code. An AVS result code can provide additional information concerning the authentication of a particular transaction for which cardholder address verification was requested. An AVS result code of "0" will be returned in the response message when no address verification has been requested. The value returned should be stored for later retrieval, as it may be required when voiding or refunding a transaction. Valid AVS response codes are listed below, and are identical across all Gateway (note that some gateways do not return an AVS response).

Note: Some gateways use their own response codes instead of those in the above table; those response codes are detailed below for such gateways.

Adyen

For Adyen, this field will contain the following possible values:

American Payment Solutions

For American Payment Solutions, this field will contain the following possible values:

Barclay

For Barclay, the field will contain the following possible values:

BlueSnap

The possible values for each result character are:

HSBC

For HSBC, the field will contain the following possible values:

PayTrace

For PayTrace, the field will contain the following possible values:

QBMS

For the QBMS gateway, the AVSResult field will contain the result for the street address, a comma, and then the result for the zip code. The values returned are "Pass", "Fail", and "NotAvailable". Therefore, an AVSResult of "Fail,Pass" means that the street address failed validation, but the zip code passed.

DataCash

For DataCash, the field will contain the following possible values (of which correspond to both AVS and CVV checks):

Stripe

For Stripe, the field will contain the following possible values:

Worldpay

The possible values for each result character are:

Indicates the status of the authorization request. This field contains the actual response code as returned by the Gateway. Unlike the Approved field, this Code field may provide more details about why a transaction was declined. Therefore, it is recommended that developers check the Code as well as the Approved field. The Point of Sale system should evaluate this response code and NOT the Text 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.

Contains the returned CVV2 result code if it was requested. This field contains the host returned CVV2 result code (if CVV data was sent in the request). The following is a list of current result codes:

A gateway may also support custom codes or human-readable response messages in this field. Please consult your gateway documentation to determine if CVV2 codes are supported.

Note: Some gateways use their own response codes instead of those in the above table; those response codes are detailed below for such gateways.

The entire response returned from the gateway processor. This field contains the entire response returned from the gateway processor. You may use this to parse additional information that is not returned in the standard response fields.

Additional error code returned by some gateways. If a gateway returns it, this field will contain an additional code that may explain why the transaction was declined. You may also wish to inspect ErrorText for a human-readable description of this ErrorCode.

Additional error description returned by some gateways. If a gateway returns it, this field will contain a human-readable description of the error which occurred (if any). You may also wish to inspect ErrorCode for an accompanying code which may be parsed and used by your application.

Invoice number submitted in authorization request (if applicable). This field contains the Invoice Number submitted in the original transaction, echoed back by the Gateway host.

Response code from the underlying processor. Often times a Gateway will return a Code that indicates only whether the transaction is approved or declined. Many of these also include a secondary code that provides more details as to why the transaction was declined.

Note, for the PayFlowPro Gateway this field will contain a "1" if the transaction was a duplicate, a "-1" if duplicate checking service is unavailable, and will be blank for a successfully authorized transaction.

Text information that describes each response code. This field contains a response or display text message. This message can be used by the terminal to display the authorization result. The display text must not be used to determine the nature of a response message. A Gateway may translate the response according to the language indicated in the merchant account setup (if applicable).

Contains the Visa Transaction Identifier or MasterCard Reference Number. This field contains a transaction identifier or reference number. The Point of Sale (POS) device should not attempt to interpret the meaning of any data appearing in this field. Data returned in this field (if any) should be recorded and used to submit a modification of this transaction at a later time (such as voiding the transaction or capturing an authorization-only transaction, if applicable).
