A processor decline indicates that your bank has refused the transaction request. There are two types of declines: hard and soft declines. The type of decline informs how you should handle it.
Hard declines are the result of an error or issue which can't be resolved immediately. Contact your bank to resolve the issue before retrying the transaction.
Soft declines are the result of a temporary issue. Retrying the provided payment method information may be successful.
The most common reasons for declines are:
- Incorrect credit card number or expiration date
- Insufficient funds
- The bank declined based on location
- The bank's fraud rules blocked the transaction
