SfResultCode	Type picklist Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Restricted picklist, Sort, Update Description Salesforce-specific result code that can map to one or more gateway result codes. We recommend configuring the payment gateway adapter layer to map gateway result codes to the appropriate Salesforce result code. Possible values are: `Decline`: The gateway call failed, but it may still work if the transaction is attempted again. For example, the customer had insufficient funds or briefly lost their connection. `Indeterminate`: The gateway didn’t respond to the call. This response usually happens when Salesforce times out while waiting for a response from the gateway. `PermanentFail`: The gateway call failed and won’t work even if tried again. Gateway calls fail permanently for one of two reasons: Hard Decline: The customer’s payment account has been closed or terminated. Fraud: The gateway recognized the payment or payment method as known fraud. `RequiresReview`: The customer bank requires more information before completing the payment. `Success`: The gateway call succeeded. `SystemError`: Salesforce ended the payment request before receiving a response. For example, Salesforce lost credentials or access to its server. Salesforce ends payment calls if it doesn’t receive a response from the gateway within two minutes. `ValidationError`: Customer payment data was incorrect, such as a misspelling in the credit card address or an incorrect CVV.
