`Note: This article is relevant to merchants integrating with Zepto in Australia.`

We have introduced new and more informative failure responses for failed transactions. If a transaction fails, we will now include the following information in the event:

Failure Code
Failure Title
Failure Details

This should enable your business to make more informed decisions in the event of a failed DE Direct Debit, DE Direct Credit, or an NPP payment.

Testing Failed Transactions

Please find our API documentation on these new codes here.

To test a failed transaction in the Sandbox environment, simply create a normal Payment/Payment Request using the special values described below.

NOTE: These values can only be used in the Sandbox environment

To test these errors please use the values listed below:

DE Debit Failure Codes
DE Credit Failure Codes
