A transaction was declined due to an invalid mandate. Advise the customer to contact support for assistance.

Recommended Customer Message

The transaction was declined due to an invalid mandate. Try again or contact support for help.

Description

The payment failed because the payment authorization or mandate linked to the transaction is invalid, expired, or has been revoked. This typically occurs with mandate-based payment methods when the authorization is no longer valid.

Recommended Customer Message

Your payment could not be processed because the payment authorization is no longer valid. Please set up a new payment authorization or use a different payment method.

Root Cause

  • Invalid or expired mandate: The authorization mandate linked to the payment has expired or is no longer valid.
  • Mandate revoked: The customer or their bank has revoked the previously given payment authorization.
  • Incorrect payment setup: The payment was initiated without a valid or complete mandate configuration.
  • Gateway validation failure: The payment gateway rejected the mandate as invalid during transaction processing.

Troubleshooting and Solutions

  • Inform the customer that the transaction failed due to an invalid payment authorization.
  • Ask the customer to review and update their payment authorization details, if possible.
  • Ask the customer to initiate a fresh authorization or set up a new mandate if required.
  • Ask the customer to contact support for assistance in resolving the authorization issue.
  • Avoid retrying the payment automatically until a valid mandate is available.
  • If the customer initiates a new mandate, attempt the payment again using updated authorization credentials.
