Most error will be related to Payments, which will provide the info you need to correct the issue. If you received a Generic Error Code, let us know the Company Name and Code number, and we will resolve the issue for you.

Payment Error Codes

  • 2001: The AVS check on the payment failed (invalid billing address)

  • 2002: The card type is not supported (i.e. not Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, or Diners Club)

  • 2003: The issuing bank indicated that the card is not supported

  • 2004: The issuing bank declined the charge but didnt tell us why (generally due to a fraud check on their side)

  • 2005: The payment method does not have sufficient funds to make the payment

  • 2006: The card has been lost or stolen

  • 2007: The card has expired (some issuing banks dont care though and we only care if they do)

  • 2008: Some of the card data was invalid (CVV, expiration date, card number, name on card). 

  • 2009: The credit_card object is in an invalid state for that action
