PayPal Error Response Reason Code 23

[deklerk]

Occasionally, I will log errors with PayPal transactions that have the follow attributes:

x_response_code: 3

x_response_subcode:

x_response_reason_code: 23

x_response_reason_text: An error occurred during processing. Please try again.

I have not been able to recreate this error and cannot find any guidance on resolving this issue in the integration documentation or in the forums.

A customer that generated these errors, emailed to say they paid with PayPal and when directed back to the website, were greeted by a blank screen.

Anyone experience this and figured out a way to resolve?

A PayPal returned result code 23 = Invalid credit card number. Though this may not correspond directly with the x_response_reason_code 23, which is more of a generic error code.

Other possible causes for the same result code from PayPal:

• The submitted credit card number contained a dash, space, or extra digit.
• The transaction exceeds the maximum allowable dollar amount per transaction set on the account.
• The credit card is no longer valid.
• PayPal's Luhn 10/Mod 10 check on the card failed.
