Error Handling

Each Heartland SDK handles the following error types which all inherit from ApiException:

Error Type Meaning
BuilderException Handle builder validation issues
ConfigurationException Handle cases when the service or gateway is configured incorrectly
GatewayException Handle gateway-related exceptions: invalid cc number, gateway-timeout, etc
UnsupportedTransactionException Handle cases when the configured transaction isn’t supported by the gateway, payment method, etc.
