Payment Failure Guidelines
OUFER Body Jewelry supports various payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards, and digital wallets. Such as American Express, Apple Pay, Diners Club, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, and Venmo. You can choose the payment method you are most familiar with to complete your order.
We use the Stripe/Payoneer Gateway to process credit and debit card payments. Sometimes, we receive emails from clients or customers reporting difficulties in completing their transactions due to checkout issues. Here, we have gathered the reasons for payment declines and provided solutions to resolve them.
There are two possible reasons why a credit card payment might fail:
- Payments Declined by Card Issuers
- Blocked Payments
Payments Declined by Card Issuers:
When a charge is submitted to your card issuer, automated systems and models are used to determine whether to authorize it. These systems analyze various signals, such as your spending habits, account balance, and card information (including the expiration date, address details, and CVC). If any of this information is incorrect, the payment may be declined.
Blocked Payments:
Stripe's automated fraud prevention toolset, Radar, identifies and blocks payments that are deemed high-risk. For instance, if Radar detects that the CVC does not match the information on file with your card issuer, the payment will be blocked.
You may receive failure information in the form of error codes or descriptions. Here, we have compiled all possible reasons for payment declines along with their solutions, hoping to assist you.
