    Some customers are complaining they can’t pay, while others have no problems. I go into Stripe and see they did get the info and see the generic decline error. For what reason are customers getting this? It’s a non-descriptive error that I can’t seem to help customers with, and Stripe’s info on the error is of no help.

    {
      "error": {
        "code": "card_declined",
        "decline_code": "generic_decline",
        "doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/card-declined",
        "message": "Your card was declined.",
        "param": "",
        "type": "invalid_request_error"
      }
    }

    generic_decline The card has been declined for an unknown reason. The customer needs to contact their card issuer for more information.

    As an added note:

    This problem seems to happen more often with Citi cardholders.

    Hey there!

    The generic decline is a bank decline, and it means that the card is declined by the issuer or bank. This isn’t something that WooCommerce or Stripe can really relay, as there’s not a reason given by the issuer.

    Hopefully that helps! Have a great one!
