Hi all,

I've got an error when calling Matched Eligible Installment Plans API

}

Got the error:

    "status": 400,
    "reason": "invalidRequest",
    "message": "Request validation failed.",
    "details": [
      {
        "location": "encAccountNumber",
        "message": "Personal Account Number cannot be decrypted."
      }
    ]
  }
}

I'm using 4111222233334444 as a test card number (PAN). 

The helloworld endpoint works fine

Can someone please help me? 

Thanks in advance

Thank you, Jenn, for your response. I believe I have found the solution to the issue, and I'd like to share it here for anyone who might be looking for it. There were two main issues I encountered:

1. Visa provides two different pairs of keys: one for X-Pay Token and another for Encryption. I had to use the second one to resolve the problem.

2. To test the implementation, it is necessary to provide a testing PAN (Primary Account Number) issued by Visa. I assume that the test PAN needs to be installed into your dashboard or something like that.

I hope this information proves helpful for future seekers facing a similar problem.
