Understanding transaction statuses

When you view a transaction, you will see one of the following statuses.

Payment/Refund ApprovedThe transaction was successful.
Payment/Refund VoidThe transaction was cancelled, either by the merchant or automatically by the system.
Payment/Refund PendingThe transaction has been created but hasn't yet been processed by the banking system. It can still be cancelled.
Payment/Refund DeclinedThe transaction was not successful.

Why was a transaction declined?

A customer’s card may be declined for various reasons. The most common causes include:

  • Expired card: The card has passed its valid date.
  • Insufficient funds: The customer does not have enough money in their account to cover the total.
  • Incorrect payment details: The customer may have entered their PIN or card information incorrectly.
  • Security check: The bank may have flagged the transaction for a security review.
  • Address mismatch: The billing address provided does not match the records held by the card issuer.
  • International use: The customer is travelling, and their card is not set up for payments abroad.
