Why did I get API error code 10601?

This error occurs if one of the following API methods is attempted on an expired Authorization:

  • DoAuthorization.
  • DoCapture.
  • DoReauthorization.
  • DoVoid.

To resolve it, contact the customer and ask for their payment details again. You can process the transaction manually or cancel the expired order and have the customer submit a new one.
