I'm sure this is resolved by now (hopefully), but to get decent answers for these questions, an example of what you are posting over to Sage Pay and the integration method you are using would help. — Rik Blacow
This is a bit old but, I was wondering what the problem was. I'm facing the same problem here... — Jay

I had this issue on Sage Pay Direct test, and it turned out to be the Content-Type not being set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

The documentation states that the body of the registration transaction must be URL encoded, but does not mention the Content-Type header. This is kind of obvious if you understand how these HTTP messages are going to be parsed, but can result in this very misleading error message from the gateway if not correctly set.

So basically, if you get error number 3034, and you do have the vendor field set correctly, then the problem is likely that the remote Sage Pay gateway cannot parse the body of the transaction in the HTTP message you have POSTed. In that case you need to look at the complete message being sent.
