Transaction Responses
RESULT Values and RESPMSG Text
8
103 Error reading response from host
The financial host could not interpret the response from the processor. This error can
result in an uncaptured authorization if the transaction is an authorization or a sale,
except on the following processors:
PayPal Australia: Time-out reversal logic should reverse the transaction. According
to PayPal Australia, this is a best effort and is not guaranteed.
Global Payments Central, Citi Bank Singapore: Time-out reversal logic should
reverse the transaction.
PayPal: The transaction might settle. There is no time-out reversal process on
PayPal.
104 Timeout waiting for processor response.
Try your transaction again.
The Payflow gateway sent the transaction to the processor, but the processor did not
respond in the allotted time. This error can result in an uncaptured authorization if the
transaction is an authorization or a sale, except on the following processors:
PayPal Australia: Time-out reversal logic should reverse the transaction. According
to PayPal Australia, this is a best effort and is not guaranteed.
Global Payments Central, Citi Bank Singapore: Time-out reversal logic should
reverse the transaction.
PayPal: The transaction might settle. There is no time-out reversal process on
PayPal.
105 Credit error. Make sure you have not already credited this transaction, or that this
transaction ID is for a creditable transaction. (For example, you cannot credit an
authorization.)
106 Host not available
The Payflow transaction server was unable to communicate with the financial host.
This error is an internal failure, and the transaction will not make it to the processor.
107 Duplicate suppression time-out
108 Void error. RESPMSG. Make sure the transaction ID entered has not already been
voided. If not, then look at the Transaction Detail screen for this transaction to see if it
has settled. (The Batch field is set to a number greater than zero if the transaction has
been settled). If the transaction has already settled, your only recourse is a reversal
(credit a payment or submit a payment for a credit)
109 Time-out waiting for host response
The Payflow transaction server times out waiting for a financial host to respond. This
error can result in uncaptured authorizations on all platforms, or settled sales on PayPal
Australia, Global Payments Central, and PayPal.
110 Referenced auth (against order) Error
111 Capture error. Either an attempt to capture a transaction that is not an authorization
transaction type, or an attempt to capture an authorization transaction that has already
been captured.
