    Unable to authorize payment: Network error.

    Anyone else experiencing the "Unable to authorize payment: Network error." error. I've checked the web interface at the gateway and I can process from there. The only changes were and Empressa upgrade (5.12) but there seems to be at least one order processed post upgrade.

    Check with your host, that's usually a SSL error during back-end communications. Very likely related to the VM upgrade.

        I have never seen that error produced by a host issue; the part after the decline message "Network Error" is being returned from the gateway, an SSL error produces a different message about not being able to open the relevant file, can't verify certificate, connection refused, can't establish connection, etc.

        "Network Error" normally comes up when the gateway is having a problem, I think authorize.net and payflow pro typically show that one.

          We are Payflowpro. What is the best way to troubleshoot this?

          Also, why after all this time is there no notification or logging in Miva? I cold be failing 1:5 and never know it. Even today, I found out from a customer.

          Not that I am aware of.

            Make sure you do not have any IP address restrictions set in the payflow manager; if you do, try removing them and seeing if the error goes away, it could be that something on the server changed outgoing IP's and what was allowed is now denied.

            Barring that, if you're using the same username and password to log into payflow manager that you have configured in your store (put them in again just in case), and the error still occurs, that typically means something has changed on the gateway or processor side. Why the virtual terminal would still work I don't know, but the only way to troubleshoot past that would be to call paypal and have them see if they see the transactions coming in and why they're sending back 'network error'.

              Checked. None configured.

              Done, tested. No Joy.

              And I am not looking forward to calling PayPal. It will take me 20 minutes just to get them to understand that I'm not calling about PayPal...


              And once again for Rick/Miva: >>LOGGING and NOTIFICATION<< You cannot troubleshoot problems you do not know exist. And undiscovered problems in your revenue stream can cost a business LOTS of money...

                I tried to enable Simple Validation to salvage some sales and deactivated payflowPro. Now I am getting this error;

                Miva Merchant has encountered a fatal error and is unable to continue. The following information may assist you in determining the cause of the error:

                Error Code: MER-00005

                Thoughts?

                  Re: Unable to authorize payment: Network error.

                  Where does "Invalid Payment Module" error/message appear?

                    Start checkout all over again; if you never left the checkout page you were on the html code of the page will still be set to the paymentnet module. Or if you have one page checkout, you're probably going to have to change hard coded payment module values in the code. Or if you have a sort payment methods module, it may need to acquire the new methods.

                      Thx, that was the cause of the fatal. I hit "back" to the payment type screen. I exited the browser and simple validation is now working.

                      @Gary - The fatal was a whole screen fatal.

                      Calling PayPal now. Gateway works from web terminal, but not MM. In case anyone else is having this issue, the last successful transaction was 09:28AM.

                        Update: PayFlowPro support shows no transactions hitting the gateway since 09:03AM (a successful sale) and pointed back to the cart/host. Have opened a ticket with the host.

                          Out of curiosity what is in the module's Host field? Go into Payment Settings -> Payflow Pro

                            Can you upload diag? I would like to see the license manager call test.

                              The old Host setting of payflow.verisign.com will return the Network Error but the correct Host should be: payflowpro.verisign.com
