I am currently exploring the Cybersource payment APIs for a project and I want to understand the best way to handle failed transactions in a a production environment.
During testing I noticed that transactions can return different response codes depending on the issue such as authentication errors card declines or system errors. I want to design the payment flow so that the system handles these situations properly without creating a poor user experience.
A few things I am trying to understand:
What is the recommended way to handle different Cybersource response codes
Should some failed transactions trigger an automatic retry or should the user retry manually
What are the best practices for logging or monitoring failed payment attempts
If anyone has experience implementing Cybersource in a real production environment I would really appreciate hearing how you handle these scenarios.
Thanks in advance.
