fraudulentDo not retryStripe decline code: Fraudulent
The charge was flagged as potentially fraudulent.
Recovery outlook
Do not retry. A hard or fraud-flagged decline. Retrying wastes attempts and can raise your fraud signals. Flag it and move to a new payment method.
What it means
The issuer or network flagged the payment as suspected fraud and declined it.
Why it happens
The transaction matched a fraud pattern. Stolen credentials, unusual activity, or a risk rule on the card.
Can you retry it?
Never retry a fraud-flagged charge. Repeated attempts raise your fraud rate and can jeopardize your processing. Stop, and require a fresh, verified payment method.
Recovery playbook
- 1Stop immediately. Do not retry.
- 2Require a new, verified payment method to continue.
- 3Review the order for fraud before fulfilling anything.
- 4Watch clustering of fraud declines as an attack signal.
