Response Fields

All transactions return a TEXT and an associated CODE field. Depending on the type of transaction submitted, other response fields may be returned.

The CODE contains a 4-digit result code of ‘0000’ for successful transactions and non-‘0000’ for transactions that were not successful.

For a list of CODE values generated by InterPay™, please refer to Response Text and Return Codes.
For a list of CODE values returned by other institutions, please refer to Appendix A.

Description
AUTH
Authorization Number
For transactions which return authorization numbers (Sale, Pre-Authorization, Completion, Force Post, Auth Only) this is the authorization number.The authorization number is also returned in the TEXT field, so the AUTH field is provided mostly for convenience.
CODE
Response Code
This is the 4-digit response code from the transaction. All transaction responses contain a CODE field.0000 constitutes a successful transaction, and any other 4-digit code constitutes a failure.This code should be used to check for authorization successes (0000), decline conditions (0001 - 1299), and error conditions (8000 - 9999).
DATE,TIME
Date and Time
The server clock for the transaction.
DUR
Duration
The duration of the transaction on the server. This can be compared to the duration on the client to establish the communication overhead.
ECHO
Echo Data
If you submitted a transaction with the ECHO field, this field will be present in the reply and will contain the exact data you placed in the ECHO field of the transaction.
HASH
Hash
A one-way hash of the card data.This can be safely stored and used as a cardholder identifier without risking exposure of the actual card number.Cannot be used for transactions.
TEXT
Text Response
This is the response text of the message and is included in the response for all transactions. Historically this is what would appear on the screen or printout of a credit card terminal.The authorization number and amount are displayed here on an approval-type transaction. For errors and decline responses this field contains the error message or decline message.
TOKEN
Tokenized Card Data
Tokenized version of the card data.This value may be safely stored and used to perform future transactions.
