Why did I get API error code 10602?

This error occurs when an authorization has already been completed. The following API calls can produce this error:

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

Use the GetTransactionDetails API call to check the status of the authorization. If it’s pending, you can try to capture it.
