“Status not set” Error on Express Checkout – All Fields Present

#1

Hello Paynow Support,

We are integrating Paynow Express Checkout and consistently receive the error:

status=Error&error=Status not set.

Our outgoing POST data (fields) is as follows:

id: integration id
key: integration key, e.g. 87874ce2-c77b-4bb2-95f8-5e16575edd80
reference: Add-Funds-68d6082c7494e
amount: 2
returnurl: https://zimgrow.com/paynow_return
resulturl: https://zimgrow.com/paynow_return
method: ecocash
authemail: morebnyemba@gmail.com
phone: 787211325
hash: 29FBA93C972482F7D725551570E7207311835A41D2B4765A53D43DF2CD59C77190777355843CAB0F52F7679583F9CC4BBC5D465061115DD41C86318AFC019D4F
  • All fields are trimmed of whitespace.
  • The phone number is sent without a leading zero, as required.
  • The hash is generated as per your documentation: id+reference+amount+returnurl+resulturl+key (SHA512, uppercase).
  • The method is set to ecocash, which is enabled on our account.

Despite this, we always get “Status not set.”

  • Our integration ID and key are correct and active.
  • All required fields are present and correctly named.

Can you please check on your end why this request is not being accepted, or if there are any additional requirements for our integration?

Thank you!
