These response codes are available in the Authorization Events API webhooks (response_code), the Authorized Transactions RDF (AUTHORIZATION RESPONSE), and the Auth API (response_code). When the transaction is denied, the code is available in transaction-related Program API responses as deny_code as well as in the CST.
This table has the response codes for all networks except Allpoint. See Allpoint response codes below.
Codes marked with an asterisk (*) are success codes. All other codes are deny codes.
