Response code 200 instead of 402 in PAR Inquire API sandbox

Hi,

I'm checking error case from the Test data and it should return code 402 but I'm getting 200.

Is it just sandbox issue and in prod I'll get the documented code?

 

Best Regards,

Vital

I am also getting this issue, as asked in the original post is this an API change or a bug in the test sandbox?

Re: Response code 200 instead of 402 in PAR Inquire API sandbox

Hi Stacey

 

Thanks for your prompt response. The issue is not with responses that have a PAR, I have these working fine.

The issue is with responses where the PAR does not exist. When I send the test case with card value 0234567898XXXXXX. For this I do get the error json, but rather than getting a status of 402 as per the docs, I get a status code of 200.

 

I just wanted to confirm that if the PAN has no PAR will we receive a status of 402 as per the docs, or 200 as I am currently receiving from the sandbox?

 

Cheers

Dean

Re: Response code 200 instead of 402 in PAR Inquire API sandbox

Hi @dhn_vix,

 

Thank you for clarifying. This is a known issue. The sandbox has not been provisioned with data for the error scenario. So it always return 200 OK response. When you are ready to promote your project to the higher environment, you will receive the correct response code.

 

Can you please send an email to developer@visa.com and let us know your project name and the country you are launching your app? I will check with our region support team to see if there's a workaround.

Hi @SLi 

 

Thanks for information about this issue in Sandbox. I wanted to know if error response in higher environment will be encrypted like response with 200 status code or will it be plain text?
