In the profiles.order we have the following code
__NAME__        credit_card
fname=required
lname=required
address1=required
city=required
country=required
[if value country =~ /^(US|CA)$/i]
        state=state_province
        zip=postcode
[/if]
&or phone_night=phone, phone_day=phone Must have day or evening phone number

&fatal = yes
email=required
email=email

&set = mv_payment Incomplete
[if variable MV_PAYMENT_MODE]
&credit_card=standard keep __CREDIT_CARDS_ACCEPTED__
&charge=[var MV_PAYMENT_MODE][cgi mv_payment_test]
&set=mv_payment Real-time Credit Card (%c -- [var MV_PAYMENT_MODE])
[else]
&set=mv_payment Credit Card (%c)
&charge = [para some inputs ][/para]
&fail=../special_pages/payment_response
&fatal = yes
&final = yes
&setcheck=mv_email [value email]

__END__

where para is the usertag to contact the payment processor.

All the errors are assigned as

" $Vend::Session->{errors}{mv_credit_card_valid} = $msg;".

In checkout page we display the errors as follows :

    [if type=explicit compare="[error all=1 show_var=1 keep=1]"]
    <P>
        <B>There were errors in your last submission:<br>
        <blockquote>
        <FONT color="__CONTRAST__">
                [error all=1 keep=1 show_error=1 show_label=1 joiner="<br>"]
        </font>
        </blockquote>
        </p>
        <p>
    The areas you need to correct are shown in
    <FONT color="__CONTRAST__">this color</FONT> below.</B>
    </p>
    [/if]

Our problem is when the payment process return some error like credit card
declined or invalid request we could not able to halt the control showing
the receipt page.  But our intention is throw back the checkout page with
error message displayed.
