Research direction

Start with the PHP sample linked in the issue and inspect ExternalConfiguration.php, then compare its merchant ID and related sandbox settings with the NAB gateway test portal. Reproduce the transaction using the sample and the reported sandbox account details; done means identifying why the gateway rejects the merchant ID and documenting or resolving the configuration issue.

Description

Hi There,

We integrated payment gateway using this github coding - https://github.com/CyberSource/cybersource-flex-samples-php/tree/master and tested transaction using our sandbox account.

But our transaction responded with error message - https://prnt.sc/GS-Z97MvXC3o to know more details about error message. We logged into NAB gateway test portal and checked. Seems merchant id is invalid as per screenshot - https://prnt.sc/zAL82mDpoT2B

We used exact merchant ID in 'ExternalConfiguration.php' file. Can you please guide us to debug this issue and make the transaction success.

Please let us know if you need any more details

Thanks in Advance!
