We refer to recurring payments when the platform repeatedly charges the end user’s card at regular intervals for the goods and/or services provided.

The recurring card payments feature is testable in Sandbox and a specific set of mocks has been developed to simulate the errors that occur when working with recurring objects.

​
1. Select the pay-in to which the mock is going to apply

You can use the mock for a customer-initiated or a merchant-initiated transaction.

To do so, you may use the Create a Recurring PayIn Registration endpoint, and use the 33501 value in one of the following Amount parameters in the body of the request:

  • FirstTransactionDebitedFunds to test an MIT
  • NextTransactionDebitedFunds to test a CIT

​
2. Choose the error to simulate in the recurring registration

You can use the value below in the AddressLine2 parameter of the Billing object in your recurring pay-in registration body.

AddressLine2 valueSimulated caseReturned error code
01100Failed pay-in101101
01116Failed due to card limit reached101199
01125Failed due to inactive card101106
01131Reauthentication request from the bank (MIT only)101305
03022Failed SCA (CIT only)101301

​
3. Make the recurring pay-in

Make the pay-in (MIT or CIT) with the Create a Recurring PayIn endpoint with the amount of 33501  for the DebitedFunds.

​
Example

In this example, we simulate a failed merchant-initiated transaction due to an inactive card by following these steps:

  • Create a Recurring PayIn Registration with the mock values
  • Create an initial CIT for the authentication
  • Create an MIT which will fail, returning the 101106 error.

Note - Mocks available in Postman Collection

The Mangopay API Postman Collection contains the full flow for the recurring mocks to help you test faster.
