# Errors

If something goes wrong, the SDKs will throw an error/exception (extending the default object of the language) with an error-code indicating what has gone wrong. Note that the payout-function will return the error instead of throwing in most instances. See details on the [payout page](https://docs.akashicpay.com/sdk/functions/payout).

Below are a list of all Akashic-specific errors that may be thrown or returned, and what to do if facing them.
