Response
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.
Successful payment
You receive:
- an HTTP code
201
- an
"outcome": "authorized"
- risk factors (only returned if issuer identifies conflict)
- an
exemption result and reason (only if you supplied a risk profile to request anSCA exemption ) - an issuer authorization code
- links to

paymentInstrument
paymentInstrument
The "paymentInstrument"
object is returned if we are able to provide information related to the underlying card used in the authorization request.
Note that if the paymentInstrument
object is returned, there is no guarantee that each field listed below will be returned with every transaction.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
paymentInstrument.type | The type of paymentInstrument. Eg:
|
paymentInstrument.card.brand | The card brand. Sometimes referred to as the network or scheme. Eg:
|
paymentInstrument.card.number.bin | The card bin. Eg:444433 Note this may contain the |
paymentInstrument.card.number.last4Digits | The last four digits of the card. Eg:1111 Note this may contain the |
paymentInstrument.card.expiryDate.month | The card expiry month. Eg:11 |
paymentInstrument.card.expiryDate.year | The card expiry year. Eg:2025 |
paymentInstrument.card.fundingType | How the card is funded. Eg:
|
paymentInstrument.card.category | Whether the card is classed as a consumer card or a card for commercial use. Eg:
|
paymentInstrument.card.countryCode | The alpha-2 ISO-3166 country code that the card was issued in. May return "N/A" where the country is unknown. Eg:GB |
paymentInstrument.card.issuer.name | The name of the card issuer. Eg:Some Issuer PLC. |
paymentInstrument.card.paymentAccountReference | The payment account reference (PAR) is a non-financial reference that uniquely identifies the underlying cardholder account. This allows you to correlate payments made with differing instruments (e.g. "card/plain" and "card/wallet+applepay" ), where the same account funds the transaction. A PAR cannot be used to intiate a payment. Eg:ABC123DEF456GHI789JKL123MNO45 |

- an HTTP code
201
- an
"outcome": "refused"
- a
refusal code - a
(if enabled)rawCode
- a
description
which gives additional context on the refusal - a
refusal advice code (only if returned by the card scheme and acquirer) - risk factors (only returned if issuer identifies conflict)
- an
exemption result and reason (only if you supplied a risk profile to request anSCA exemption ) - a
paymentInstrument
(only for mobile wallet payments)
