Creates Issuing authorizations when Stripe is unavailable

What’s new

Creates Issuing authorizations when the card network responds on Stripe’s behalf because Stripe is unavailable. For backwards compatibility, network-approved authorizations have a request_history.reason value of card_active, while network-declined authorizations have a webhook_error value. These authorizations trigger issuing_authorization.created webhook events. Depending on the failure mode, Stripe might also send an issuing_authorization.request webhook event.

Impact

This change reveals what the cardholder experienced, in case the card network can’t contact Stripe because of a Stripe error or outage.

  3. Upgrade the API version used for webhook endpoints.
  4. Test your integration against the new version.
  5. If you use Connect, test your Connect integration.
