Investigating

We are currently investigating an increase in Mastercard transactions receiving a D17 (“Retry / Re-enter transaction later”) response code. This behavior began earlier today and may impact a subset of merchants processing Mastercard transactions.

Our team is actively working to isolate the root cause and determine the appropriate remediation steps.

Transactions receiving a D17 response may succeed if retried. We recommend retrying affected Mastercard transactions while we continue our investigation.

We will provide additional updates as more information becomes available.
