Error handling

Whenever there is a validation error, this will trigger an error response is returned, like below:

{
    "error_code": "INVALID_EES_TOKEN",
    "message": "The token is not valid. In order to proceed with the place order a valid token is required"
}

In this case, the deal order is not created, and you must correct the request parameters, as indicated, and retry the API call.

Most of the validation errors are common with the ones listed for the getDealInfo method (see the Errors handling).

Whenever there is a payment level error encountered, the amendment order is still created, and the payment processing error will be returned in the DealOrder.Errors element, in the usual format used by the placeOrder response as well, for example:

[
    {
        "SubscriptionReference": "GUC9PFSIH8",
        ……
        "DealOrder": {
            "RefNo": "11662596",
            ……
            "Errors": {
                  "ORDER_PAYMENT_METHOD_CARD_PROCESS_ERROR": "Couldn't complete the payment validation process: Error processing the credit card transaction. Please contact the issuer bank for more details, or enter another card."
            }
        }
    }
]
