"E00027:The transaction was unsuccessful" multiple authOnly transactions back to back with same data

joe_coolish — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 04:55:18 GMT

I'm getting the following error when I try to do an authOnly transaction in the SandBox:

"E00027:The transaction was unsuccessful."

My workflow is:

Test if a card is valid
If valid, present "Receipt" page
User authorizes from the "Receipt" page
Card is tested if valid again
Card is charged

I'm finding that step 4. returns that error message. If I wait a minute or two and retry, the transaction succeeds.

Am I doing something wrong? I haven't tested this in Production yet.

Thanks!

Hello @joe_coolish

If you check the full error response text, it should probably indicate that a duplicate transaction was submitted. You can learn more about duplicate transactions

Thanks for the reply! That information seems to sum up the issue I'm facing. The page mentioned sending the x_duplicate_window field along with the transaction. I'm using the .NET SDK, so I'm assuming there is a DuplicateWindow property on the request objects?
