This guide explains Error 609, which occurs when the cardholder’s name entered does not meet the length or format requirements defined by the PagueloFacil payment gateway.
● What does it mean?
Error 609 – Invalid Name indicates that the text entered in the "Name" field has been rejected by the system’s validation rules. The system displays the following message: "The provided name is too long or too short, please try again."
The most common causes include:
Insufficient length: The entered name has fewer than 2 or 3 characters.
Excessive length: The name exceeds the maximum number of characters allowed by the form.
Invalid characters: Use of numbers, special symbols (such as #, $, %) or characters that the system cannot properly process.
Unnecessary spaces: Extra blank spaces at the beginning or end of the name.
● How to fix it?
To resolve this issue, follow these recommendations:
Check the format: Enter the full name exactly as it appears on the physical card.
Avoid symbols: Use only letters (A–Z). Avoid special characters unless strictly necessary.
Verify length: Ensure the name is not too short or abbreviated.
This is an input data validation error. It is a preventive measure to ensure that the cardholder information is correctly sent to the issuing bank and to avoid further declines during authorization.
