Hi My client has received two payments from a customer, one by visa and one by mastercard. Only one of them (the mastercard one) shows up in the orders list - there are no gaps, and that order shows as unauthorised. In the payment processor control panel both transactions show as valid with authorisation codes. How can I find out what's going on? Thanks Eric Lewis
Both the orders have the same ID 2009680. the mastercard payment is timestamped 2020-02-12 16:14, and the visa payment 2020-02-11 20:35. The payment processor is Cardstream, which I have set up as a custom processor.
Hi Eric Then what it sounds like is that when returning from Cardstream the payment isn't "closed" by your custom payment processor. Could that be the case? Who set up the customer payment system?
The customer payment system was done by Dean at eComWebstore. It works pretty well with most payments. But I've done a bit of asking around and it seems that the hosting company that I use was affected by some power glitches at the time of the first transaction, and so the response from Cardstream could possibly not have been processed correctly - which may explain why the order was not closed. Does that make sense?
It might also explain how the customer was able to pay again for the same order. But the problem at the server had been sorted by then, so wouldn't that have shown up as a normal authorised transaction?
