Gateway Error Code Mapping

Following are the error codes that Recover-supported gateways return, which Spreedly has designated as retryable. Note the category designation as well; softmeans a failure that will be reattempted, while outage indicates a gateway specific outage response which will be retried.

When in outage_only Mode, Spreedly will retry High Level Spreedly Outage codes and Gateway Specific Outage codes.

When in standard Mode, Spreedly will Retry High Level Spreedly Outage responses, Gateway Specific Outage responses and Soft responses.

The Response Element for each gateway indicates the specific element of the response the service evaluates for a Recovery attempt. When using custom mode, this is the element you must use for evaluation.

📘

It is important to note that any failure on the 2nd gateway will be retried regardless of mode or error response, providing there is a 3rd gateway to be retried on.

High Level Spreedly Outage Codes

Response Element - error_code

Error CodeCategory
circuit_breaker_openHigh Level Outage
retryable_communication_exceptionHigh Level Outage

These high level error codes are considered retryable; they are related to errors in communication with the target gateway where we are certain that there is no chance a transaction could have occurred.

For example, if a request to a gateway returns a timeout error, we can't be certain that the transaction wasn't attempted/successful on the gateway, so we would not retry. But, if a gateway's circuit breaker was opened due to consistent timeouts, we would know that the request never made it to the gateway, and thus we could safely retry on another gateway.

Stripe & Stripe PI

Stripe and StripePI are a bit more complex than the other gateways in that there is a Gateway Specific Field decline_code that is returned in responses which can be used to determine if the error code card_declined might be retryable or not.

So here we break out which codes are 'basic' and can be retried without further consideration, and those that need to be present in the decline_code GSF only when the error code is card_declined.
