The customer's payment exceeds the limit set by the payment source. Advise the customer to use a lower amount or an alternative payment method.
Recommended Customer Message
Your payment exceeds the limit set by your payment method. Try a lower amount, or use a different payment method.
Root Cause
Rolling-window limit exceeded: The transaction would cause you to exceed the rolling-window processing limit for a specific payment source.
Configured transaction rules: The gateway allows merchants to set transaction rules, including maximum transaction amounts that have been exceeded.
Merchant risk limits: Gateways may impose transaction limits based on factors such as merchant risk profiles or card type restrictions.
Troubleshooting and Solutions
Review your current processing limits in the gateway dashboard.
If you anticipate higher transaction volumes, contact gateway support to request an increase in your processing limits.
Inform customers proactively if a transaction cannot be processed due to limit constraints and guide them on alternative payment methods or splitting payments.
