Transaction amount limit in CheckVerification and CheckSale

Hi,

 

I was trying to add validation on the value of Transaction Amount field in my app when calling CheckVerification and CheckSale methods, I just realize that

1- current max value is 6500$

 2- when using a value over 6500 say 6501 I will get different error codes and messages for the same issue ?

 

CheckVerification will return

 ...<Response><ExpressResponseCode>90</ExpressResponseCode><ExpressResponseMessage>Response Not Mapped</ExpressResponseMessage><HostResponseCode>9</HostResponseCode><HostResponseMessage>The method or operation is not implemented.</HostResponseMessage>....

 

 

and in case CheckSale will return

 .....<Response><ExpressResponseCode>105</ExpressResponseCode><ExpressResponseMessage>Not Authorized</ExpressResponseMessage><HostResponseCode>5</HostResponseCode><HostResponseMessage>Threshold exceeded: Single Transaction Amount Max</HostResponseMessage>....

 

  

I can't really decide whether I should design my application to have a configuration parameter to store the max limit of Transaction Amount field ( and use if for both methods) or should I catch the above error codes and return a user error message indicating that amount exceeded the max limit?

 

  

Thanks,

 

Tim

Correct Answer

Tim,

 

For a threshold error, Express returns a fairly generic ExpressResponseMessage of "Not Authorized", ExpressResponseCode=105.  Note that this response can also indicate that the merchant account is not configured for check/ACH processing on Worldpay's side.

 

The end user will have access to a web portal at Check Commerce where they will be able to see additional detail.  The Check Commerce spec describes these transaction status codes, which should be visible on their side:

  • 51: Dollars Daily Max Threshold Exceeded
  • 52: Dollars Monthly Max Threshold Exceeded
  • 53: Transactions Daily Max Threshold Exceeded
  • 54: Transactions Monthly Max Threshold Exceeded
  • 55: Dollars Daily per Consumer Max Threshold Exceeded

 

Our check/ACH test accounts on Express do not support testing of threshold errors.  I realize this could add some difficulty for testing and development.  Please keep us posted if there's anything we can do.
