Why does my recurring transaction give the error "invalid card number"?

If you are trying to do a recurring payment using tokenized payment details and get an error with errorCode 101 and message invalid card number, you are probably not passing in the payment details correctly. To do a recurring payment using a token, you need to pass both the shopperReference and the token in the request. Depending on which integration you are the names differ. Please check both scenarios below: 

Checkout

If you are using Checkout API endpoint (/payments) and seeingerrorCode 101 and message invalid card number you are probably not including the storedPaymentMethodID:

• Include the storedPaymentMethodId: This is the recurringDetailReference returned in the response when you created the token. Before API v49 this is passed in as recurringDetailReference

Refer to this example for CardOnFile:

{
   "amount":{
     "value":2000,
     "currency":"USD"
   },
   "paymentMethod":{
     "type":"scheme",
     "storedPaymentMethodId":"7219687191761347",
     "encryptedSecurityCode": "adyenjs_0_1_18$MT6ppy0FAMVMLH..."
   },
   "reference":"YOUR_ORDER_NUMBER",
   "shopperInteraction": "ContAuth",
   "recurringProcessingModel": "CardOnFile",
   "merchantAccount":"YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT",
   "shopperReference":"YOUR_UNIQUE_SHOPPER_ID_IOfW3k9G2PvXFu2j",
   "returnUrl":"https://your-company.com/..."
}

For all details refer to our tokenization documentation: CardOnFile, Recurring and UnscheduledCardOnFile

Classic API

If you are using our Classic API endpoint (/authorise) and seeing errorCode 101 and message invalid card number you are probably not including the selectedRecurringDetailReference:

• Include the selectedRecurringDetailReference: Either the recurringDetailReference returned from the list of all stored details based on the shopperReference, or LATEST to use the most recent recurring detail

Refer to this example for ONECLICK:

{
   "amount":{
     "value":2000,
     "currency":"EUR"
   },
   "card":{
     "cvc":"737"
   },
   "reference":"Your Reference Here",
   "merchantAccount":"TestMerchant",
   "shopperEmail":"s.hopper@test.com",
   "shopperIP":"61.294.12.12",
   "shopperReference":"YOUR_UNIQUE_SHOPPER_ID_IOfW3k9G2PvXFu2j",
   "selectedRecurringDetailReference":"LATEST",
   "recurring":{
     "contract":"ONECLICK"
   },
   "shopperInteraction":"Ecommerce"
}

For all details refer to our tokenization documentation: One-click and Recurring
