Both void and refund operations come with associated reason codes. Void operations cancel transactions before finalization, while refund operations return funds to customers after transactions are complete.
These codes help analyze your return processes and allow you to automate specific actions or events in your system based on refund or void reasons.0021 Solidgate – request by user
This code applies to any manual refunds initiated through the Solidgate Hub.
It indicates a refund made per the customer’s request and does not necessarily imply an issue. RecommendationsMonitor the frequency of these refunds to identify any patterns or common reasons that may be addressed to improve customer satisfaction.
0022 Solidgate – issuer fraud notification
This code is used when the issuer directly reports a fraudulent charge to Solidgate. Support team may initiate a refund after contacting the merchant.
It signifies a flagged transaction due to fraudulent activity. RecommendationsMaintain close communication with Solidgate to understand the nature of these fraudulent activities. Consider implementing additional security measures if these incidents are frequent.
0023 Solidgate – risk department
Result of fraud detection. The customer can ask for a refund for the transaction.
Indicates transactions flagged for potential fraud. RecommendationsRegularly review transactions flagged by the Risk Department to understand if legitimate transactions are being affected.
0024 Solidgate – retrieval request
When the issuer posts a retrieval request, the merchant may choose to refund the transaction.
Signifies a formal request by the issuer for transaction documentation. RecommendationsIf retrieval requests are frequent, review your transaction descriptors and customer communication to reduce misunderstandings that could lead to retrieval requests.
0025 Solidgate – prevention alert
Refunds are automatically issued when Solidgate receives a prevention alert.
Previously, the following refund codes 0016, 0017, 0018, 0019 were used. RecommendationsWork closely with Solidgate to understand the triggers for these prevention alerts and consider tweaking your security settings or customer verification processes to minimize them.
0026 Solidgate – system error
This code is used rarely, only in case of technical problems between Solidgate, providers, and payment networks.
Indicates a system malfunction or technical issue. RecommendationsReport any system errors immediately to Solidgate support for troubleshooting. Review any commonalities in these errors to preemptively address technical vulnerabilities.
0027 Solidgate – antifraud
This code is used for automatic refund actions triggered by the antifraud system.
Indicates automated fraud detection measures. RecommendationsConsistently review and update your fraud prevention settings to keep pace with emerging fraud patterns. Coordinate with the Solidgate support to improve these settings.
0028 Solidgate – expired authorization
After the authorization expires, Solidgate may issue a void using this code.
Indicates an expired authorization for a transaction. RecommendationsMonitor the time between authorization and transaction completion to minimize instances of expired authorizations. Coordinate with the Solidgate support to potentially extend authorization periods if necessary.
0029 Solidgate – reversed by schemes
This rule applies when card schemes cannot confirm a payment authorization during the clearing process.
In such cases, to comply with card scheme requirements, the Acquirer/PSP must reverse (void) the original authorization transaction to release the blocked funds in the customer’s account.
Update the transaction status and ensure void requests are triggered at the appropriate point to avoid mismatches.
Track card order Webhook for further investigation.
