I'm using the product "PathWrangler", and for the last day or so, all our credit card transactions have returned the error message "An unrecognized gateway error occured". We're bleeding money here, can you guys get this fixed straight away?

    Hi Mikey,

    There have been 8 transaction attempts today for Product PathWrangler. Each error response test is indicating 'invalid amount.' Each request was for $0.00. This is all the information I have at this time. Is this expected?

    Best,
    Dean

    Hm, interesting - the bit of the API I'm hitting, when I've made these
    attempts, is Edit Subscription. Here's the exact request data for my latest
    attempt:

    And here's the response:

    So I'm a bit confused - as far as I'm aware, I wasn't trying to make any
    transactions, rather simply update a customer's subscription information.
    Is this right? Is there some glaring omission I'm making at my end?

    Hi Mikey -- Your account had been configured to do a validation transaction on payment update with 0.00 amount. I've fixed that for you to use a 1.03 validation amount.
