This guide compiles common credit card transaction response codes and provides detailed explanations—including in-depth analysis of the "Do Not Honor" code—to help you quickly resolve payment failures.
Basic Information
- **Response Code**: 80010
- **Description**: Transaction Do Not Honour
Detailed Reasons for Rejection
The "Do Not Honor" message means the card-issuing bank refuses to authorize the transaction. It is often used as a default rejection reason, with specific causes including:
1.1 Insufficient Funds
- This is the most common cause—"Do Not Honor" often acts as a substitute for "Insufficient Funds" when the issuer/processor fails to send a precise message.
- The cardholder’s available balance or credit limit is less than the transaction amount.
1.2 Credential Discrepancy
- Mismatch between **AVS (Address Verification Service)** or **CVC (Card Verification Code)** information:
- AVS mismatch: The billing address entered during payment does not match the address registered with the bank.
- CVC error: The 3/4-digit security code on the card is entered incorrectly.
- Since there is no unified rejection message for credential mismatches, issuers use "Do Not Honor" as the default.
1.3 Potential Fraud Risk
- The bank flags the transaction as suspicious to protect the cardholder. Common scenarios include:
- The card has been reported lost or stolen.
- Unusual purchase patterns (e.g., a sudden large-value transaction, purchases in a location far from the cardholder’s usual area).
- Transactions attempted at abnormal times (e.g., late at night when the cardholder rarely uses the card).
- Note: Some issuers may use the specific code "59: Suspected Fraud" internally, but it is automatically converted to "Do Not Honor" to avoid conflicts between merchants and customers.
1.4 Recent Cardholder Activity
- The cardholder has made multiple high-risk transactions before your order:
- Large purchases from other merchants shortly before.
- Payments to high-risk websites (e.g., unregistered overseas platforms).
- A "shopping spree" that exceeds the card’s usual usage frequency/amount.
- The bank temporarily restricts further transactions to prevent overspending or fraud.
1. **Retry the payment**: The bank may authorize the transaction if you retry (e.g., temporary system delays).
2. **Verify card details**: Confirm the billing address, CVC code, and card expiration date are entered correctly.
3. **Contact the card issuer**: Advise the cardholder to call the 800 number on the back of the card to resolve restrictions (e.g., lift fraud alerts, increase credit limits).
4. **Switch to another payment method**: Suggest using a different credit card, PayPal, or bank transfer.

2.2 Payment Declined (Code: 80012)

2.6 3D Authentication Failure (Code: 80091)

2.7 Bank Risk System Rejection (Code: 80070)
- **Response Code**: 80070
- **Description**: Declined By Bank Risk System
- **Recommended Actions**:
1. Advise the cardholder to call their bank to confirm if the transaction is blocked by the risk system.

2.8 Duplicate Order (Code: 20061)
- **Response Code**: 20061
- **Description**: Duplicate order
- **Recommended Actions**:
1. Check if the order has already been paid successfully (via your Justway account > Order List).

1. **Verify Basic Information First**: Always confirm the card number, expiration date, CVC code, and billing address are correct.
2. **Retry Strategically**: Retry once after 5–10 minutes (temporary system glitches are common).
3. **Contact the Card Issuer**: Most rejection reasons (e.g., fraud alerts, limits) can only be resolved by the cardholder’s bank.
4. **Switch Payment Methods**: For persistent failures, use PayPal (supports major cards) or bank transfer (cost-effective for large orders).
