UI Navigation Path (Step-by-Step)

  1. Read the HTTP response status.
  2. Extract the machine-readable error code.
  3. Map expected errors to application behavior.
  4. Log a safe correlation/reference value for unexpected errors.
Verified BursaPay workflow: Interpret validation, authentication, permission, rate-limit and business errors returned by the gateway.

1. Overview & Purpose

Gateway responses use structured error identifiers so client applications can distinguish malformed requests from authorization, resource and business-state failures.

2. Requirements & Setup

Clients should inspect HTTP status and the returned error code/message rather than parsing human prose only.

3. Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. Read the HTTP response status.
  2. Extract the machine-readable error code.
  3. Map expected errors to application behavior.
  4. Log a safe correlation/reference value for unexpected errors.

4. Rules & Troubleshooting

Do not retry validation or permission errors blindly. Retry only errors that are explicitly transient.

5. Verification & Next Steps

Keep a small error-mapping layer in the integration so response handling remains consistent.
