Error Received

Required String parameter 'txnMode' is not present

This is the exact request from the documentation and it is not working for me. What am I doing that is incorrect? Any input would be appreciated.


Solution

  • At first glance it would look like everything is good. However there is one slight mistake in the code. You have the following line in the HTML POST

    <input type=hidden name="txnmode" value="ccAuthorize" >
    

    The correct way of doing it is the following

    <input type=hidden name="txnMode" value="ccAuthorize" >
    

    The issue is that the actual txnMode name is spelled incorrectly. This is case sensitive. Once you make this change you should receive a proper response from the Web Services API.
