Getting Declined in Test mode

[danowens]

Why would I consistently get declines while OrderMode is set to Test? The WID page is also in Test, but using the 411111111111111 number is consistently declined. A quick test using the WID page directly behaved as expected. The test page is here: https://remix.60feet.co/how-you-can-help/ and the WID in question is 72761 with Fraud mode disabled.

Good day!

I tried copying your code but you have a multi-page form which makes it a bit harder to copy and test it locally.

I reviewed your code and see 2 lines for OrderMode.



While I am not sure why this would cause a decline in TEST mode but it is best to clean the code and then look for other issues. We are still reviewing it and trying to upload it to our servers for testing.

That was the issue, for whatever reason. I am not sure how or why I did not see that duplicate field before, but thanks for catching it.

For future testing, is there a more comprehensive debugging option? All I was getting back was "decline" as the response which gave me effectively no information.

The problem was that the OrderMode was defaulting to Production in the absence of a valid request. In production your card was declining since 4111 is not a valid card.

A Decline is always a bank response. Anything else is error. In this case decline was a legitimate response.

I am wondering what will happen if the first page value of donation is not transferred to the second page. I see that you are passing this info as a session and not in the URL and if the visitor has his/her browser's cookies disabled (not sure why anyone could function these days with that disabled) then the basket will be empty and the error will be posted back.

It is just a thought as we are trying to figure out why some of your visitors are getting error.. one has to consider all possibilities.
