When integrating with Cashfree, you may have to handle errors while making API requests. Calling the APIs ensures an operation occurs on Cashfree’s server. Errors are displayed when the request operation fails. Every API call returns a status field describing if the call was successfully processed or not. The status field has two values SUCCESS and ERROR. Checking this field after every call can ensure whether the API call was successful or not. Every failed response from Cashfree’s server has an error sub-code and a corresponding error message. The sub-code reflects the nature of the error that occurred. Check the list of sub-codes here. We recommended you scan error sub-codes and not error messages. If you are using Cashfree libraries, error responses result in an exception which you must handle in your integration.
