Customer payment error SLN74629 and HOW21175

I tried entering a customer's payment with the card number they gave me (and yes, it is a good number).  I got error code SLN74629 and HOW21175.  It said there was a connection error.  However, the next customer whose cc I entered went through.  I tried the previous customer again and got the same error code.  It's not the internet/connection as other payments are processed with no issue.  Any help is appreciated.

Customer payment error SLN74629 and HOW21175

Your effort in tackling these error codes is valued, @TVon915. Let's work together to maintain smooth transactions for your customers.

 

The SLN74629 error indicates an issue with the credit card information entered, which stems from incorrect cardholder details, address formatting errors, insufficient funds, or the card not being accepted for your business type.

 

On the other hand, the HOW21175 error relates to communication issues with QuickBooks Payments, suggesting temporary connectivity problems or account settings issues.

 

Since another customer's credit card was processed successfully, I recommend contacting your current customer to confirm that their card has enough balance to cover the transaction. Additionally, check if their employer requires a specific commercial code during processing that could affect the transaction.

 

You could also consider asking for a different payment method or advising your customer to call the support number on the back of their card for further help.

 

Furthermore, I've included a link to a resource article that provides detailed insights on how QuickBooks Desktop manages and automatically deposits the payments you process via QuickBooks Payments. Feel free to explore this article for a better understanding: Automatically record QuickBooks Payments bank deposits in QuickBooks Desktop.
