Identifying the Symptom: Invalid Shopper Interaction

When integrating Adyen into your application, you might encounter an error message indicating an 'Invalid Shopper Interaction.' This error typically arises during the payment process, where the specified shopper interaction type does not align with the expected parameters.

Common Error Message

The error message usually appears as: "Invalid Shopper Interaction: The shopper interaction type specified is not valid or supported."

Exploring the Issue: What Causes This Error?

The 'Invalid Shopper Interaction' error occurs when the interaction type provided in the API request does not match the supported types outlined in Adyen's documentation. Shopper interaction types define how the shopper is interacting with the payment process, such as through a browser or a mobile app.

Steps to Resolve the Invalid Shopper Interaction Error

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify the Shopper Interaction Type

Ensure that the shopper interaction type specified in your API request is valid. Refer to the Adyen API Explorer for a list of supported interaction types.

Step 2: Update Your API Request

Modify your API request to include a valid shopper interaction type. For example, if you are processing an online payment, use "Ecommerce" as the interaction type:

{
"amount": {
"currency": "EUR",
"value": 1000
},
"shopperInteraction": "Ecommerce",
"reference": "YourOrderReference",
"paymentMethod": {
"type": "scheme",
"number": "4111111111111111",
"expiryMonth": "10",
"expiryYear": "2023",
"cvc": "737"
}
}

Step 3: Test Your Integration

After updating the API request, test the integration to ensure that the error is resolved. Use Adyen's test card numbers to simulate transactions and verify the shopper interaction type.
