Testing for Approval vs. Declined

📘
Note
This information applies to both credit card and ACH transactions.

To receive an approval / success response from BluePay, the whole dollar amount must be an odd number. Cents are ignored. (For example, for the amount $63.82, only the $63 is checked for even/odd, the cents portion [.82] is ignored.)

The following amounts will return APPROVED:

$3.00
$481.90
$75.52
$11.00

The following amounts will return DECLINED:

$10.00
$12.99
$150.00
$56.25
