This week we've seen reports of issues getting real-time shipping rates back from UPS's Rating API. We tracked the issue down to incompatible cipher suite support for TLS 1.2 between the server running BV Commerce and the UPS Rating API server.

By default, BV Commerce will not place an order if the customer’s credit card is declined. In most cases, this is what the merchant wants, as the alternative would be to later contact the customer for payment information.

For instance, in rare instances, the payment gateway that you are using may be experiencing technical issues (e.g. their servers are down), so that no credit card transactions are being accepted. In such a case, you may want to temporarily accept orders and then re-run the card from the admin once the payment gateway is working again.
