Error Handling


After submitting an API call to OPay, you receive a response back to inform you that your request was received and processed. A successful OPay API should return a status code 00, meanwhile, in a situation where any payment processing error occurred, you will receive an error code with a message to describe the reason of the error. A sample error response can be found below.

                    
                        {
                            "code": "02006",
                            "message": "payment not found."
                        }
                    
                

Depending on the HTTP status code of the response, you should build some logic to handle any errors that a request or the system may return. A list of possible potential error codes that you may receive can be found below.

Error Code Error Message
02000 authentication failed.
02001 request params not valid.
02003 payMethod not support.
02004 the payment reference already exists.
