error 203 - Error 203 - vads_product_vat

In PRODUCTION mode, if your buyer gets an error message such as:

An error occurred during the payment request, please make sure that the posted parameters match the ones specified in the documentation.

It becomes impossible to make the payment and the transaction is definitively lost.

You will receive an e-mail notification containing the form that the gateway was unable to process and the value of the invalid field.

We invite you to check the following reason(s) to resolve the issue:

The format of the field is incorrect.

The vads_product_vat field allows to define the tax amount or tax rate of each item in the cart.

It can be set:
  • with an integer to indicate the amount of taxes applied to the item
  • with a decimal number less than 100 to indicate the tax rate applied to the item.

    The decimal separator is mandatory for displaying a percentage.

    The decimal separator is represented by the "." symbol.

Check that the value entered in the form is correct.

The amount submitted to the gateway is negative
Taxes amount must be expressed in the smallest unit of the used currency.

E.g.: 4525 for EUR 45.25

Make sure the amount submitted in the form is not negative.

Error example: [vads_product_vat=-150]

The transmitted value contains unsupported characters.
The tax rate must be expressed by a decimal number less than 100. The decimal separator is represented by the "." symbol

E.g.: 20.0 or 19.6532

Error example: [vads_product_vat=1.50]
