Gateway Error Messages: Understanding and Resolving Issues

This guide provides context to common error messages encountered by Paytia when interacting with payment gateways and offers steps to resolve them effectively.


1. Security Violation

A "Security Violation" error generally occurs when the payment gateway is unable to authenticate the connection from Paytia. This error indicates that the credentials or settings required for successful communication between Paytia and your payment gateway are incorrect or incomplete.


Steps to Resolve:

  1. Verify Merchant Account Details:

    • Login to the Paytia administration portal.
    • Navigate to the Manage Payments > Payment Gateway Setup page.
    • Check the following information:
      • Username
      • Password
      • API Service Keys
    • Ensure these credentials are accurate and match those provided by your payment gateway.
  2. Check for IP Address Whitelisting:

    • Some payment gateways require you to whitelist the IP address of the platform making API calls for added security.
    • Refer to your payment gateway's documentation to confirm if IP whitelisting is necessary.
  3. Update Gateway Trust Settings:

    • If your payment gateway requires specific configurations to trust external platforms, ensure that Paytia's IP address is added to the trusted list.
  4. Consult the Support Article:

    • For detailed instructions on adding Paytia's IP address to your payment gateway, review the article: "How do I add the Paytia payment service IP address to my payment gateway?"

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "Security Violation" error and ensure seamless communication between Paytia and your payment gateway. If the issue persists, contact Paytia Support for additional assistance.
