stolen_cardDo not retryStripe decline code: Stolen card
The card was reported stolen.
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 card has been reported stolen and is blocked by the issuer.
Why it happens
The cardholder or issuer flagged it as stolen; all charges are refused and a new card is issued.
Can you retry it?
Retrying is pointless and raises fraud signals. Require a new payment method, and treat the charge with fraud caution if it wasn't a genuine customer.
Recovery playbook
- 1Never retry a stolen-card decline.
- 2Require a fresh, verified card.
- 3Review whether the attempt was legitimate.
- 4Flag clusters of stolen-card declines.
