Getting Unauthorized User error on CyberSource Payments REST APIs

I have followed the API reference on the VDP portal on how to use the CyberSource Payments REST API (https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/cybersource/reference#cybersource__cybs_payments_v2__v2__pro...) and Im testing Process a Payment. I keep getting the following error although I have done everything:

 

{"response":{"rmsg":"{\"error\":\"UNAUTHORIZED_USER\",\"error_description\":\"UNAUTHORIZED USER\"}"}}

 

What does this error mean? The documentation is not clear what I have done wrong. I have set up logic to generate X-Pay-Token. What else should be done?

Hey @spencerchiggs

 

I'm happy assist you with the issue you're experiencing. Also, please note that, Visa Developer Portal generated Merchant ID's will have an unresolvable gateway issue.
 
There will be an EBC error message: "The payment processor gateway name is either invalid or missing"
 
At this time, you can only query the CyberSource Payments sandbox by creating a merchant account directly with CyberSource. To create a merchant account with CyberSource, navigate to the link below.
 
https://developer.cybersource.com 

 

You'll also see that the CyberSource website provides a simple method to test their account credentials:
 
https://developer.cybersource.com/api/reference/api-reference.html 
 
Furthermore, please follow this link for sample code:  https://github.com/CyberSource/cybersource-rest-samples-java/blob/master/src/main/java/samples/payme... 

 

If you have other questions or need further assistance, please reach out to us and we'll be ready to assist.

 




Thanks,

Looks good, and interesting for me. Because I want to create few chatbots for people in health care industry and follow different information for it. For example, I found cool article on https://spdload.com/blog/best-hipaa-compliant-chat-apps/
