1. Introduction

When you check your transactions in your Worldline account via Operations > View transactions or Operations > Financial history, and/or you download a monthly report of your transactions, you will notice that each transaction has a specific status.

Find here the most common statuses you will see in your daily business. They represent the standard operations of a transaction life cycle.

  0 - Invalid or incomplete

  How did I get this transaction status?

  • Your customer initiated a transaction, but abandoned it by closing his browser window.
  • Your customer initiated a transaction, but is not yet done (i.e. the customer is currently entering his credit card data or we are waiting for a response from the acquirer)
  • At least one of the parameters is invalid or missing in your transaction request. Check NCERROR / NCSTATUS for detailed information

  What's next?

  • Have a look at our Best practices to improve your conversion rate!
  • Contact your customer to know more about the abandoned transaction
  • As soon as the customer has finished entering their card details and we have received a response from the acquirer, we will update the status. Depending on your acquirer's response and the action performed on the transaction (authorisation only vs. authorisation and data capture in one step), we will update the transaction to one of the following statuses
    
    • 2 - Authorisation refused
    • 5 - Authorised
    • 9 - Payment requested
  • Check our documentations on
    e-Commerce DirectLink FlexCheckout Batch (advanced)

  (depending on your integration method) to ensure that you send the minimum required parameters.
