Stripe duplicate_transaction: what it means and how to fix it
A transaction with identical amount and card details was just submitted, so the issuer treated this one as a duplicate.
Should you retry?
Hard decline: do not keep retrying the same card
Common causes
- Double-clicked pay button
- Repeated retry in a short window
How to recover the payment
- Check whether the first charge succeeded before retrying
- Use idempotency keys on API requests
- Disable the pay button after the first click
