We're getting auth timeouts. Just called Vantiv and the problem appears to be on their end. Anyone else seeing similar issues?
We use Payment Express and they sent the following information to us a few minutes ago:
Merchants transacting via Vantiv are experiencing a higher than normal percentage of transaction failures Vantiv have advised that they have identified an issue and are working to resolve it.
Not overly useful other than knowing it is on the radar of other payment gateways who transact with them.
FYI - we received a communication from Payment Express indicating that the Vantiv issue was resolved, at least based on what they are seeing. Hopefully that is truly the case!
