Error Codes – General Error Code Glossary

The following excerpt is from Ingenico ePayments:
“In general, error codes starting with:
2: mean the status is “uncertain”. This will usually evolve to a final status.
3: mean the transaction is declined by the acquirer or blocked by the Fraud detection module.
4: mean the transaction is declined. It could be only a temporary technical problem. Please retry a little bit later.
5: mean a validation/configuration error (e.g. currency not allowed on your account).

For a list of all possible error codes and messages, please log on to your Ingenico ePayments account and check the ‘List of the payment statuses and error codes’ in the ‘Selected user guides’ section of the Support menu.”

You might be searching for the term “alert interruption” or the term “alert irruption”. Alert Irruption (for an Ingenico terminal and other credit card machines) means that you can no longer accept transactions. The terminal has a tamper-proof device that helps to prevent fraud. If the terminal has been opened, damaged or suffered an impact, the tamper-proof device could be activated and your terminal will shut down. If you see this message, your terminal needs to be replaced.
