Transaction Responses
When a transaction is completed, PayPal returns transaction response information. PayPal
Manager displays transaction responses on the following pages:
z Perform Transaction Results page, returned whenever you complete a transaction using the
Perform Transaction tab.
z Report pages
z Transaction Detail page, which you can access using the search utilities or by clicking the
Transaction ID on most report pages
For details on these pages, refer to PayPal Manager online help.
RESULT Codes and RESPMSG Values
RESULT is the first value returned in the PayPal server response string. The value of the
RESULT parameter indicates the overall status of the transaction attempt.
z A value of 0 (zero) indicates that no errors occurred and the transaction was approved.
z A value less than zero indicates that a communication error occurred. In this case, no
transaction is attempted.
z A value greater than zero indicates a decline or error.
The response message (RESPMSG) provides a brief description for decline or error results.
