What is payment failure receipt parsing?
A payment failure receipt is generated when a transaction is declined or cannot be completed. It usually contains the attempted amount, currency, payment method, failure reason, date, and receipt or transaction identifier.
Parsing payment failure receipts into structured JSON helps teams automate retries, route billing errors to the right systems, enrich support tickets, and analyze why payments fail across providers and customer segments.
Example: payment failure receipt to JSON
Submit a failed payment receipt as a PDF, screenshot, or image. This is the structured JSON your app gets back.
{ "receiptId": "1638291", "failureDate": "2024-03-15", "amount": 99.99, "currency": "USD", "paymentMethod": "Visa *3567", "failureCode": "card_declined", "failureMessage": "INSUFFICIENT FUNDS", }
Need this in production?
Define your template once, then parse failed payment receipts automatically via SDK, REST API, or webhook.
