How to interpret the transaction result

The following table specifies the transaction response codes for the possible scenarios that you may encounter after initiating the eps-Ueberweisung payment.

Initiate Browser Payment Response What This Means...
response.gatewayCode=SUBMITTED
result=SUCCESS		 Redirect the payer using the URL provided in the response.
Retrieve Transaction/Retrieve Order Response What This Means...
response.gatewayCode=APPROVED
result=SUCCESS		 The payment is successful.
response.gatewayCode=PENDING
result=PENDING		 The Mastercard Payment Gateway is waiting for a notification from the acquirer about the payment result. Try RETRIEVE_TRANSACTION again later or listen to notifications from the Mastercard Payment Gateway.
response.gatewayCode=CANCELLED
result=FAILURE		 The payer has canceled the interaction for this payment. Offer the payer the option to try another payment method.
response.gatewayCode=DECLINED or ACQUIRER_SYSTEM_ERROR
result=FAILURE		 The payment was declined. Offer the payer the option to try another payment method. In case of an ACQUIRER_SYSTEM_ERROR, you may want to inquire with the acquirer about the reason for the payment failure, or you can try RETRIEVE_TRANSACTION again.
response.gatewayCode=TIMED_OUT
result=FAILURE		 Treat this as a declined payment. The Mastercard Payment Gateway will make an attempt to ensure the transaction is not successful or will revert the transaction.

Refunds

You can refund eps-Ueberweisung payments in installments or in full. Ensure that you are configured for refunds on the Mastercard Payment Gateway and on your merchant account at your browser payments service provider.

Testing your integration

The Mastercard Payment Gateway provides a browser payments emulator that allows you to test your eps-Ueberweisung integration.
