DeclineCallback

The DeclineCallback API call is used to notify you of a failure in the Spark transaction process. It is typically triggered after a successful /TriggerTransaction response with a verdict of Approved, but when the flow subsequently fails for any reason before payment authorization. This callback is essential for integrators to detect and gracefully handle cases where a session cannot proceed, such as when:

The consumer did not present a payment card, and the terminal timed out.
The consumer canceled the transaction on the Nayax Device.
A failure occurred on the device during the card presentation.
Other terminal-side errors that disrupt the flow.

In such cases, no payment authorization is granted, and the transaction flow is terminated. If appropriate, the integrator may choose to re-attempt the /TriggerTransaction method.

Request

Spark sends a POST request to the /spark/DeclineCallback endpoint:

  "Status": {
    "Verdict": "Declined",
    "ErrorCode": 44,
    "ErrorDescription": "Timeout on POS Device"
  }
}
