What is Response Code/Status?
The response code/status is the authorization code/status that will be received for every transaction once it has been performed.
The response code/status/message can be found in both the "return" response and the "callback" response. As well as on the transaction screen on your dashboard as well.Callback Response
"payment_result": {
"response_status": "A",
"response_code": "G31822",
"response_message": "Authorised",
},Return Response
acquirerMessage= &acquirerRRN= &cartId=cart_11111 &respCode=G31822 &respMessage=Authorised &respStatus=A
Response on the Dashboard
Things you should know
- The value (A) of the "response_status" field in the callback is the same as the value (A) of the "respStatus" field in the "return".
- The value (G31822) of the "response_code" field in the callback is the same as the value (G31822) of the "respCode" field in the "return".
The merchant can depend on (response_status/respStatus) as (A) for the authorized transaction.If the response status (response_status/respStatus) is error/decline (E or D), then the (response_code/respCode) can be used to help determine why it was declined.What are the general response statuses?
Response Status | Description |
| A | Authorized |
| H | Hold (Authorised but on hold for further anti-fraud review) |
| P | Pending (for refunds) |
| V | Voided |
| E | Error |
| D | Declined |
| X | Expired |
What are the different response codes/statuses?
The decline codes (Response code) are for the merchants internal use, it shouldn't be shown to the customers.
The customer should have a general message like "Sorry, we are unable to process your transaction at this time" to protect the merchant.
