Status Codes and Error Responses
The Chargent API combines two levels of Status Codes and Error Responses into a single common response. The first level of response is from the Chargent interface you are using to make API requests. The second level of response is from the Gateway, and there are more details in the body of the response.
When a response is successfully or when an error occurs, Chargent will return a repsonse code, along with more detailed information.
| Status Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 200 | Chargent recieved the request. There may be a Chargent Error or a Gateway Error returned. Check the message body for more details. |
| 201 | Chargent recieved the request and created records as a result. There may still be a Gateway Error retured. Check the message body for more details. |
| 400 | A Validation Error has occurred with the request that was sent. |
