Handling Credit Card Declines

By default, BV Commerce will not place an order if the customer’s credit card is declined. In most cases, this is what the merchant wants, as the alternative would be to later contact the customer for payment information. However, there are some instances in which you might want such orders to enter into the system. For instance, in rare instances, the payment gateway that you are using may be experiencing technical issues (e.g. their servers are down), so that no credit card transactions are being accepted. In such a case, you may want to temporarily accept orders and then re-run the card from the admin once the payment gateway is working again. [More]
