VERBOSITY: Viewing Processor-
Specific Transaction Results
Transaction results (especially values for declines and error conditions) returned by each
PayPal-supported processor vary in detail level and in format. The Payflow VERBOSITY
parameter described below enables you to control the kind and level of information you want
returned.
By default, VERBOSITY is set to LOW.. A LOW setting causes PayPal to normalize the
transaction result values. Normalizing the values limits them to a standardized set of values
and simplifies the process of integrating the Payflow SDK.
By setting VERBOSITY to MEDIUM, you can view the processor’s raw response values. This
setting is more “verbose” than the LOW setting in that it returns more detailed, processor-
specific information.
Supported Verbosity Settings
The following VERBOSITY settings are supported for PayPal-supported processors. Contact
your processor or bank for definitions of the returned values.
z LOW: This is the default setting for PayPal accounts. The following values are returned:
{RESULT, PNREF, RESPMSG, AUTHCODE, AVSADDR, AVSZIP, CVV2MATCH, IAVS,
CARDSECURE}
z MEDIUM: All of the values returned for a LOW setting, plus the following values:
NOTE: For information on interpreting the responses returned by the processor for the MEDIUM
VERBOSITY setting, contact your processor directly.
TABLE D.1 VERBOSITY parameter
Parameter Description
VERBOSITY (Optional) Enables you to obtain additional processor information for a transaction.
Values are LOW or MEDIUM.
z LOW is the default setting—normalized values
z MEDIUM returns the processor’s raw response values
VERBOSITY is also part of an Inquiry transaction. For more information, see
“Submitting Inquiry Transactions” on page 38.
