Best Practice

Access Worldpay returns a WP-correlationId in the headers of service responses. We highly recommend you log this. The WP-correlationId is used by us to examine individual service requests.

In your response we return:

The outcome, which could be:
- approved - Money transfer is approved.
- requested - We have requested the money transfer.
- pending - The money transfer request is pending and any immediate submissions will result a duplicate payment.
- refused - This money transfer method is refused, try another card.
- Sent for Settlement - The money transfer request is sent for settlement and the actual settlement information will come from the merchant's acquiring platform.
- requestReceived - fastFunds is not enabled for this card.
- error - A downstream system failed to process your request.
