Response codes

Describes the applicable (ISO) response codes returned by the partner on an authorization request:

Code Response Description Action
Approve 00 Approved or completed successfully Approve
Insufficient Funds 51 Balance does not suffice for the requested amount Decline
Transaction not permitted to cardholder 57 Decline due to partner’s fraud rules, compliance requirements etc. Decline
Restricted card 62* Decline due to partner’s fraud rules etc. Decline
Do not honor 05 Generic Decline Decline

* For use when the card has been temporarily suspended on the partner side, while it appears active at the issuer end. As a result, authorization requests are forwarded to the partner.

In this case, the appropriate API calls (Retrieve card information and Set card status) should be used to update card status information.

Viva Payments Event Identifier

An Event Identifier represents a systemic code, indicating the specific reason for which a request failed.

Even though the API error code (HTTP Status code) should, in most cases, be adequate to indicate the reason of the failure, the EventId goes a step further to pinpoint the concrete reason.

EventIds related to the Issuing API:

EventId Name Description
11000 CardManagementValidationFailed Indicates that a Card Product was not found
4700 - 4710 CardGenerationFailed Indicates that a procedure related to card number or PIN generation failed
