[PostFinance] Payment statuses

The table below summarises the possible statuses of the payments.

Statuses in 1 digit are ‘normal’ statuses:

  • 0 or 1 means the payment entry was not completed either because it is still underway or because interrupted or because a validation error prevented from confirming. If the cause is a validation error, an additional error code (*) (NCERROR) identifies the error.
  • 2 means the acquirer did not authorise the payment.
  • 5 means the acquirer authorised the payment.
  • 9 means the payment was captured.

Statuses in 2 digits corresponds either to ‘intermediary’ situations or to abnormal events.

When the second digit is:

  • 1, this means the payment processing is on hold.
  • 2, this means an error occurred during the communication with the acquirer. The result is therefore not determined. You must therefore call the acquirer’s helpdesk to find out the actual result of this transaction.
  • 3, this means the payment processing (capture or cancellation) was refused by the acquirer whilst the payment had been authorised beforehand. It can be due to a technical error or to the expiration of the autorisation. You must therefore call the acquirer’s helpdesk to find out the actual result of this transaction.
