Errors in a Redirection Flow
In a redirection flow, customers finalize a transaction on a third-party site and are then directed back to your web page (the merchant_site_url) where you inform them of the status of their payment. Of course, there’s always a chance of an unexpected error (such as a provider communication timeout) in this process. If an error does occur, we’ll let you know about it by appending the type of error (api_error or provider_error) to the merchant_site_url. If available, we will also include the ID of the original payment request and related transaction request (action).
Here’s an example.
<merchant_site_url>?error=api_error&payment_id=dd1fbe34-4636-4a61-8cb1-27ac8a175284
&action_id=f7cdc75d-68d3-4a0b-b6ae-39c5a9a2cbcb/
