Card Deposit Provider Response Codes

Applicable for card payment methods via CQRUK and AIB.

PXP Financial Payment Service provides response codes for both authorised and refused credit card payments. These codes are mapped from the Scheme response and based on ISO 8583 Response Codes. They are returned in the ProviderResponseCode and ProviderResponseDescription fields as detailed here.

📘

Original Scheme Response Code

When it is necessary to consume the unmapped response code from the Schemes, merchants can opt to also receive the OriginalISOResponseCode field in the initiatePaymentResponse. The list of values corresponding to this field can be found further below on this page for Visa and MasterCard respectively.

Please note, this applies for Visa and MasterCard through CQRUK and AIB. For other Schemes, please contact our technical team for advice.

🚧

MasterCard and Visa Ecosystem Integrity

Both MasterCard and Visa have introduced additional rules and guidance around how to manage different kinds of transaction declines. For both, when the requirements are not adhered to, there will be fines which are levied for non-compliant behaviour.

More information can be found here for MasterCard and Visa respectively.
