This is not an error. The transaction was actually declined by the issuing credit card bank. You will also receive this message when using a test credit card.

This is not an error. The transaction was actually declined by the issuing credit card bank. The merchant needs to call for a voice authorization and then manually enter the transaction. Otherwise, the customer will need to contact their credit card issuing bank to have them allow the transaction and submit it again.

Normally you will receive this error when you are trying to use your live account with the staging server. In order to use the staging server you must first setup a separate test account on the following web site:
https://www.linkpoint.com/support/sup_teststore.asp

Also make sure you entered the correct store number. If you are using Yourpay you must enter the 10 digit store number. If you are setting up a shopping cart make sure you enter your store number when prompted for "storename."

Verify first that the the correct store number is entered. This error normally occurs when contact information is updated with your merchant bank. For example if the business phone number or address was recently updated. You will need to contact LinkPoint/Yourpay support and they will need to generate a new PEM file for your account. You will then need to download the new file and either upload it to your web site or copy/paste it into your shopping cart.

There are a couple different things that will cause this error.

1. Make sure the amount for chargetotal is not blank.
2. Make sure expiration year is only 2 digits
3. Make sure there is no dollar sign for the amount.
4. Make sure there are no symbols like an ampersand, apostrophe, or letters with accents
5. If there is no shipping make sure you pass zero for the amount
6. If there is no tax make sure you pass zero for the amount
7. Make sure there are no commas in the amount for chargetotal

You can use the CDATA tag to pass any symbols. For example:

CODE

<![CDATA[R&D]]>

If you are developing in PHP you can try using HTMLENTITIES instead.

CODE

$var1 = "R&D";
$var2 = htmlentities($var1, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

At the moment you can only set installments from 1-99 or -1 for an infinite amount of times.

The gateway is experiencing problems.

The credit card entered is expired or cancelled.

Make sure all the amounts add up correctly. Also make sure you round up to 2 decimal places.

The default fraud settings do not allow the same amount on the same credit card to be submitted more than once within 10 minutes. If a transaction is declined the customer will need to wait 10 minutes before trying again. You can change this setting on LinkPoint Central.

2. Click on Admin in the top menu
3. Under Fraud Settings click on "Set Lockout Times"
4. Change "Duplicate Locktout Time" from 10 minutes to something less.
