Error Handling
3 min
Error responses indicate that an Accertify API request could not be processed as submitted. Errors are distinct from fraud decisions and do not reflect risk outcomes.
Errors are returned immediately and prevent the request from entering fraud evaluation or downstream processing.
Understanding error semantics is critical for building resilient integrations.
Note: Universal Fraud APIs return validation and processing errors separately from fraud evaluation results. A validation failure indicates the request could not be processed, not that risk was detected
