Braintree Recurring is a robust API solution provided by Braintree, a PayPal service, designed to handle billing and subscription management for businesses. It allows developers to integrate recurring billing functionalities into their applications, enabling seamless management of customer subscriptions and payments.
When working with Braintree Recurring, you might encounter an error with the code 91503. This error typically manifests as an 'Invalid payment method token' message when attempting to create or update a subscription.
The error is usually observed during API calls related to subscription management, where the payment method token is a required parameter.
The error code 91503 indicates that the payment method token provided in the API request is either invalid or not correctly linked to the customer in question. This can occur due to several reasons, such as token expiration, incorrect token usage, or a mismatch between the token and the customer ID.
To resolve the 91503 error, follow these steps:
Ensure that the payment method token you are using is valid. You can verify this by checking the token's status in your Braintree control panel. Navigate to the Braintree Dashboard and search for the token under the 'Payment Methods' section.
Make sure that the payment method token is associated with the correct customer. You can do this by querying the customer details using the Braintree API:
curl -X GET https://api.braintreegateway.com/merchants/your_merchant_id/customers/customer_id \
-H "Authorization: Bearer your_access_token"
Check the response to ensure the token is listed under the customer's payment methods.
If the token is invalid or expired, generate a new payment method token and update your application to use this new token. You can create a new token using the Braintree API:
curl -X POST https://api.braintreegateway.com/merchants/your_merchant_id/payment_methods \
-H "Authorization: Bearer your_access_token" \
-d 'customer_id=customer_id&payment_method_nonce=nonce_from_the_client'
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the 'Invalid payment method token' error and ensure smooth operation of your subscription management system. For more detailed information, refer to the Braintree Recurring Billing Documentation.
