Processing errors

If the payment gateway detects an error while receiving the form, an error message is displayed and the buyer can not be to proceed to the payment.

In test mode:

The message indicates the source of the error and provides a link to the error code description to help you fix it.

In production mode:

The message indicates to the buyer that a technical problem has occurred.

In both cases, the merchant receives a warning e-mail containing the information:

  • the source of the error;
  • a link to possible causes to facilitate its analysis;
  • all the fields of the form.

The e-mail is sent to the company administrator.

To change this address or add an address, contact E-commerce customer service.

You can also create a personalized notification rule to receive this e-mail at another address.

To do so:
  1. Sign in to your Merchant Back Office:

    https://paiement.systempay.fr/vads-merchant/

  2. Open the Settings > Notification rules menu.
  3. Select Advanced notification.
  4. Select the type of E-mail sent to the merchant notification.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Select the trigger event for Invalid payment form.
  7. In the General settings, fill in the fields:
    • Rule reference
    • E-mail address to notify
  8. Click Create.

A description of the error codes with their possible causes is available on our website:
