What PlatformDTC does

For Checkout.com 20064, PlatformDTC's checkout does not offer PayPal card fields or any backup processor. Unlisted codes never reroute, because guessing wrong costs more than the one recovery it might win. Checkout.com 20064 is not yet in PlatformDTC's renewal table, so a renewal declined with it follows the store's normal retry schedule and is logged so it can be classified.

Why it happens

It appears when an amount refers back to an earlier authorization and the figures do not line up.

What the shopper can do

Try again or with another card; the bank can say more.

What the store can do

Compare the amounts on the original and the new payment in the Dashboard before retrying.

For developers

The payment comes back with status Declined, response_code 20064 and a response_summary such as "Original value incorrect" (Checkout.com notes the text can vary by endpoint). Checkout.com's Visa table puts this code in category 4, which it pairs with recommendation code 02 (try again later); read processing.recommendation_code on the response.
