ECHECK being declined for 103 response reason code

[Robert_Harper]

I'm sending an ECHECK message with, what I can tell from the samples should be a fully filled out message. Looking up the response reason code, 103, it says something about not providing a password. The problem is, that I don't seen anywhere in the API or samples where a password is used.

Here's the raw response.

1.0|3|103|This transaction cannot be accepted.||P||0|B4EACCE9DC4FE33547830184B7DEF02E|||||||||||||

Any ideas or is this just an account configuration thing?

[RaynorC1emen7]

103 is

A valid fingerprint, Transaction Key, or password is required for this transaction.

For Echeck is the transactionKey.

I'm now receiving this for a response:

1.0|3|33|(TESTMODE) Bank account number is required.|000000|P||0|E17D34D2A0202418F3EEFEACCA8CFAA7|||||||||||||Bank Account

I am settint the x_bank_acct_num= to a value so what could be the problem now?

[RaynorC1emen7]

If it said it not there, did you check your request to see if it got pass?

[Robert_Harper]

Yes. I didn't show the information because I had tried with my real account information. I am sending the bank account number and a valid routing number. Still the error is "Bank account number is required.". I don't understand because the value is there.

I'd first tried with a ficticious number like: x_bank_acct_num=555666. 

For the raw request string:

x_delim_data=TRUE&x_delim_char=%7c&x_type=AUTH_CAPTURE&x_bank_acct_num=555666&x_bank_aba_code=043000261&x_bank_acct_type=0&x_bank_check_number=1234&x_bank_acct_name=JOHN+DOE&x_first_name=JOHN&x_last_name=DOE&x_address=6671+SOUTH+REDWOOD+ROAD%2c+SUITE+201&x_city=WEST+JORDAN&x_state=&x_country=USA&x_zip=84084&x_phone=8012658800&x_amount=1.25&x_cust_id=94puaHTu9k8&x_version=1.0&x_market_type=2&x_device_type=1&x_response_format=1&x_method=ECHECK&x_login=94puaHTu9k8&x_tran_key=6R3K6w3HYh5v9JY9&x_description=CT+Center+Payment&x_relay_response=

The response is:

1.0|3|33|(TESTMODE) Bank account number is required.|000000|P||0|E17D34D2A0202418F3EEFEACCA8CFAA7|||||||||||||Bank Account

In the request, you can see that x_bank_acct_num=555666 is set. What am I missing?

[RaynorC1emen7]

90 -  ACH transactions cannot be processed using a card present account.

[Robert_Harper]

Do they really need the bank name? I don't get that data at all and since our UI is a plain old telephone, there isn't a good way to have the user give it to us.

[RaynorC1emen7]

Do they really need the bank name?

Probably not, it probably for informational only.

[Robert_Harper]

Part of the reason I was asking is that the sample does not show setting the bank name but the PDF states that it is required.

The message I get in the delimited response, says that a field is blank but you have additional information that shows that  my test account is not configured to accept checks. How would I change the account settings so that I can test a check payment?

[RaynorC1emen7]

Is you test account Card present account? Then you will need to get a new Card NOT present test account.
