Detecting declined charges from XML

We want our web site to detect when a user is in the state of having their monthly charge declined, and to display a warning to the user.

What in the XML will help us detect this state?

I am guessing:

  1. Find the second <invoice> record under subscriptions.subscription[0].invoices.
    (The first <invoice> seems to show the current billing period, which appears to start even if the previous one has not billed successfully).

  2. Check this invoice's <paidTransactionId> field. If there is something there, consider it paid. If empty, consider it unpaid.

But this feels cargo-cultish and maybe not the best way. What do you recommend?

Thank you.

    That is exactly correct.
