When posting test transaction, 2nd transaction is declined

psys — Tue, 10 May 2016 01:10:25 GMT

I'm trying to create a few test transactions to seed a dev environment (using the sandbox). The first transaction always works, and the subsequent transaction is declined, error_code 2.

I've tried with the same test information (cc: 4007000000027, cvv: 023, exp: 1220) and different cvv/exp info.

Is there some obvious reason that the second transaction would decline every time? I have all fraud filters turned off, or at the most relaxed setting. I've tried `sleep`ing a few seconds between charges.

Any ideas?

what was the response reason code for the decline?

Reason code was 2.

Incredibly, it looks as though the 'invoice_num' field can cause an error based on it's value. invoice_num=2 will cause a decline (response_code 2), invoice_num=3 will return a response_code of 35.

Is this documented somewhere?

There a testing guide

http://developer.authorize.net/hello_world/testing_guide/

Didn't look like it use anything about invoice#

Can you post your request params? for all of those

Yup. Got the same error, doesn't matter if that the 1st or 2nd transaction, always get the declined.

A mod will have to talk to the support.

Yep, should have mentioned in my followup that when I said:

"Incredibly, it looks as though the 'invoice_num' field can cause an error based on it's value. invoice_num=2 will cause a decline (response_code 2), invoice_num=3 will return a response_code of 35."

It had nothing to do with being first or second transaction, but in my case, the second transaction always had an `invoice_num` of 2.
