Stripe 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

  1. 1Never retry a stolen-card decline.
  2. 2Require a fresh, verified card.
  3. 3Review whether the attempt was legitimate.
  4. 4Flag clusters of stolen-card declines.
