Get help with Worldpay error codes, and common troubleshooting issues
Sekure is simply a phenomenal company to work with. My business partners and I have been with WF, BofA, and other “top tier” merchant services providers, but Sekure was our solution. Excellent and proactive customer service from Marybeth and phenomenal onboarding with Josh. Processing rates are excellent, and hardware support has been fluid and turnkey

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).

Worldpay complaints
According to a Reuters article “Worldpay charges, disclosed in fine print, anger small U.S. merchants” dated August 23, 2019, a Worldpay company representative claims that the fees are properly disclosed.
