Transaction Postback Matrix

Use this matrix to identify whether a transaction received in a postback was approved or declined. The combination of the trantype, action, stage, and approved parameters determines the transaction result.

This matrix is especially useful when Testing Payments, where you cannot simulate all transaction types. Use it to understand what parameter values you or your developer can expect to see in your postbacks for each transaction type before going live.
