Creates Issuing authorizations when Stripe is unavailable
What’s new![](https://b.stripecdn.com/docs-statics-srv/assets/fcc3a1c24df6fcffface6110ca4963de.svg)
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_
, while network-declined authorizations have a webhook_
value. These authorizations trigger issuing_
webhook events. Depending on the failure mode, Stripe might also send an issuing_
webhook event.

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