I am getting IPN response:
My txn_type=recurring_payment_profile_created and initial_payment_status=Completed
I want to check whether payment is failed, to fire mail to buyer.
What are the possible values of initial_payment_status in PayPal Express checkout.
There is no additional information in documentation for parameter "initial_payment_status" but the payment statuses are described in official paypal API documentation. Possible values are:
CANCELED – The Preapproval agreement was cancelled
CREATED – The payment request was received; funds will be transferred once the payment is approved
COMPLETED – The payment was successful
INCOMPLETE – Some transfers succeeded and some failed for a parallel payment or, for a delayed chained payment, secondary receivers have not been paid
ERROR – The payment failed and all attempted transfers failed or all completed transfers were successfully reversed
REVERSALERROR – One or more transfers failed when attempting to reverse a payment
PROCESSING – The payment is in progress
PENDING – The payment is awaiting processing

I want to test the following scenarios which are included in the stripe subscription status documentation.
Can anyone please suggest a test card in stripe to test it?
Scenario 1
Incomplete_expired- The initial payment on the subscription failed and no successful payment was made within 23 hours of creating the subscription. These subscriptions do not bill customers. This status exists so you can track customers that failed to activate their subscriptions.
Scenario 2
Unpaid- The latest invoice hasn’t been paid but the subscription remains in place. The latest invoice remains open and invoices continue to be generated but payments aren’t attempted.
You should use a test card where the payment will be declined for the initial subscription invoice payment. There's a full list here, but 4000000000000002 will return a generic card_declined error which should be sufficient for this testing case.
Have a look at the SO question: Simulate Stripe Subscription Renewal Failure
The idea is to create a user with a valid payment method and then change the payment method later on via the dashboard for example.
For incomplete_expired - just pay with card which need 3d secure like 4000002500003155 and don't make card authentication, subscription will move to incomplete after 3 hours, after 23 hours subscription status will move from incomplete to incomplete_expired.
For unpaid status Stripe says some additional setting should be applied

I am currently setting up SagePay on the SagePay Test account. I want to Pre-authorise a payment (Hold) and then Capture the payment a few days later. It appears however that I only have the option to invoke payment immediately - does anyone know how to perform Authorise then Capture a payment.
Deferred will work. Authorisation with the bank is obtained at the point of sale and you have 30 days to Release the payment for settlement. Only at the point of Release will the process of transferring funds from the card issuing bank to the merchant bank begin.
You can Release a payment by clicking on the transaction in My Sage Pay or by sending a command across to Sage Pay from your internal web portal:

i didn't find any information about life time of payments with intent "sale". If a user cancel's payment by closing the paypal window, then i should be abled to continue payment by looking up the payment via api and redirect him to the approval url. But this works only for a certain time span. I'm abled to look up payments from yesterday, the response tells me about a payment state of "created" but after redirection to the approve_url paypal's website says:
Your Session has ended.
This transaction has expired. Please return to the recipient's website to complete your transaction using their regular checkout flow.
I guess i should create a new payment in that case. But how long should i wait before creating a new payment, because payments with age.. - lets say about 1 hour are still valid?
TIA
The user has three hours to approve of the PayPal payment before a new payment must be created.
I am new to the paypal api, but have integrated it into my site. Every transaction has 2 receivers using the adaptive payments api. Every once in awhile I get an ipn response with status of INCOMPLETE. Reading the documentation it says this status is because
Some transfers succeeded and some failed for a parallel payment or, for a delayed chained payment, secondary receivers have not been paid
Why would only one transaction work? Only the first recipient is getting the money causing problems. What is the best way to handle this? Anyway to immediately refund the buyer with the first recipients payment?
You could reverse all payments if any of them in the request fail using the reverseAllParallelPaymentsOnError parameter.
xs:boolean (Optional) Whether to reverse parallel payments if an error
occurs with a payment. Allowable values are: true – Each parallel
payment is reversed if an error occurs false – Only incomplete
payments are reversed (default)
We're setting up a system that will use the XML API for Automated Recurring Billing with Authorize.net.
It looks simple enough to set up a recurring billing. But we have two features that do not seem obvious
* providing customers with details on individual payments
* providing notification to customers of expired/canceled cards
Anyone familiar with a mechanism to retrieve this info in automated form? We're considering
* just listing out assumed payments based on our own calculations the start date
* emailing customers based on the expiration date of the ards
But I'm stymed on how to figure out when a transaction failed due to canceled card (and automatically notify the customer).
Can anyone comment on how they handled this issue when implementing a subscription-based service based on Authorize.net?
Authorize.Net has recently published a new ARB method "ARBGetSubscriptionStatus".
You may now easily query the status of a previously submitted ARB subscription without the need to depend on the "Silent Post Method".
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ARBGetSubscriptionStatusRequest xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd"> <merchantAuthentication> <name>mytestacct</name> <transactionKey>112223344</transactionKey> </merchantAuthentication> <refId>Sample</refId> <subscriptionId>100748</subscriptionId> </ARBGetSubscriptionStatusRequest>
You want to use Authorize.Net's silent post feature. It will notify you of all payments made through their system including declines and expired credit cards. Your script will then be able to suspend accounts and/or notify your customers that their payments has failed.
See these link for more info:
Handling Authorize.Net ARB Subscription Failures
All About Authorize.Net’s Silent Post
Handling Authorize.Net Silent Post with PHP
You need to use the Silent POST URL
ARBGetSubscriptionStatusRequest will not work. If the first transaction (or first transaction since the ARB profile was updated, either via API or manually) fails, the status of the subscription is set to suspended. Otherwise, the status of a subscription does not change when a transaction declines or a card expires.
Using the Silent POST URL, you'll be notified of successful transactions and you can use them to update your data such as tracking a next payment due date/expiration date. You can then run a cron job and if this field has not been updated, you will know that the card was cancelled or expired.
In the event that it is still an active card but gets declined, you'll get notified as such at the Silent POST URL
