Technical and Setup Questions

titleThe payment failed to process. What happened?

There are several reasons why a payment can fail. The most common ones are:

  • Code 51—Insufficient funds: The cardholder does not have enough money to cover the transaction in the account associated with the credit card.

  • Code 65—Credit limit exceeded: The cardholder has spent over the credit limit associated with their card, and they will need to clear their balance before they can proceed with the transaction.

  • Code 54—Expired card: The credit card is expired and is no longer a valid payment method.

  • Code 14—Incorrect card number: This error code typically occurs during online transactions, when the card number entered does not match the real credit card number (likely due to human error).

  • Code 63—Wrong CVC: The three- or four-digit security code (CVC) entered during the transaction is incorrect.

  • Code 41—Lost card, pick up: The cardholder has reported the card as lost, and all transactions have been frozen to prevent fraudulent charges.

  • Code 43—Stolen card, pick up: The cardholder has informed the issuer that the card has been stolen, so future transactions will be denied.

  • Code 05—Do not honor: The issuing bank has declined the card for an unknown reason.

  • “Your card does not support this type of purchase” - This could mean the customer used a Debit Card and did not enter the pin, the card is blocked for cross-border transactions, or might be a corporate card restricted to specific purchases.

If you got a different code, you can see more information in this page.
