Errors

How Exchange Pay failures surface in React and what to do at each step.

How errors surface

1. Hook error state — useExchangePaySupportedCurrencies().error, useExchangePayOrder().error, amount validation via useExchangePayAmount().error.
2. Thrown / rejected promises — createOrder / closeOrder / getOrder / refetch also reject.
3. Events — useOnExchangePayOrderExpired is not an error, but you must handle it in UI.

Amount validation errors

useExchangePayAmount().error is an AmountValidationError ({ code, message, metadata }), not a string. Switch on code for i18n:

import type { AmountValidationError } from '@swapped/connect-sdk'
import { useExchangePayAmount } from '@swapped/connect-sdk/react'

function AmountError() {
  const { error } = useExchangePayAmount()
  if (!error) return null

  const text = translateAmountError(error)
  return <p>{text}</p>
}

function translateAmountError(error: AmountValidationError): string {
  switch (error.code) {
    case 'below_min':
      return `Min amount ${error.metadata.formattedMinAmount}`
    case 'above_spendable':
      return `Max amount ${error.metadata.formattedMaxAmount}`
    case 'above_balance':
      return `Balance is ${error.metadata.formattedBalanceAmount}`
    default:
      return error.message
  }
}

Typed SDK failures are ConnectSdkError with a stable code:

import { ConnectSdkError, ConnectSdkErrorCode } from '@swapped/connect-sdk'
import { useExchangePayOrder } from '@swapped/connect-sdk/react'

function CreateWithErrors() {
  const { createOrder, error, isCreating } = useExchangePayOrder()

  async function onSubmit() {
    try {
      await createOrder()
    } catch (err) {
      if (
        err instanceof ConnectSdkError &&
        err.code === ConnectSdkErrorCode.SESSION_NOT_ACTIVE
      ) {
        // Call restartSession() via useSwappedConnectClient()
      }
    }
  }

  return (
    <div>
      {error && <p>{error.message}</p>}
      <button type="button" disabled={isCreating} onClick={() => void onSubmit()}>
        Pay
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}

When things fail in the flow

Step	What goes wrong	How you see it	What to do in UI
Mount hooks	Outside ExchangePayContextProvider	REACT_EXCHANGE_PAY_PROVIDER_REQUIRED	Wrap with the provider
Load currencies	API / network failure	currencies error / API_ERROR	Retry refetch
Create order	Incomplete selection	EXCHANGE_PAY_SELECTION_INCOMPLETE	Select provider, currency, amount
Create order	Session already completed	SESSION_NOT_ACTIVE	restartSession() first
Create order	Session not loaded	SESSION_REQUIRED	loadSession()
Create order	API rejection	API_ERROR	Fix amount / retry
Checkout leave	Close API failed	CLOSE_ACTIVE_ORDER_FAILED	Retry close or create again
Status / close	No order	NO_ACTIVE_ORDER	Back to form
Waiting	Timed out	useOnExchangePayOrderExpired / isExpired	Toast + navigate back; create a new order
After success	Create again without restart	SESSION_NOT_ACTIVE	restartSession()

Block amounts below minAmountFiat with useExchangePayAmount before createOrder.

Error code reference

Code	When it happens	What to do
REACT_EXCHANGE_PAY_PROVIDER_REQUIRED	Hook used outside ExchangePayContextProvider	Wrap with ExchangePayContextProvider
EXCHANGE_PAY_SELECTION_INCOMPLETE	createOrder() without provider / currency / amount	Complete selection first
SESSION_REQUIRED	No loaded session	Call loadSession()
SESSION_NOT_ACTIVE	Session cannot accept a new payment	restartSession() before createOrder
NO_ACTIVE_ORDER	Status/close without an active order	createOrder first
CLOSE_ACTIVE_ORDER_FAILED	Provider close failed	Retry close, or create a new order
API_ERROR	Currencies / create / status / close failure	Retry
CLIENT_DESTROYED	Client already destroyed	Create a new client

canClose === false (Bybit, OKX): skip cancel UI — not an error.
