A transaction was declined. What does that error number code mean?

In the section Declines in your Payyo Backoffice you can find the reason why a transaction was declined. The great filter option will help you to find the declined transaction you are looking for.


There are many reasons why card schemes refuse a transaction. The corresponding authorization responses we receive are not the same for all schemes and change from time to time.
