Stripe decline codes

Stripe incorrect_zip: what it means and how to fix it

The postal code does not match the one on file with the issuer, and your Radar rules or the issuer enforce AVS.

Should you retry?

Needs customer action: retry only after they update or confirm

Common causes

  • Typo in the postcode
  • Billing address differs from the card's address

How to recover the payment

  • Let the customer correct the postcode
  • Review whether your Radar rule is blocking too aggressively
