This may occur if your customer’s bank or card issuer is unable to correctly process a refund (e.g., due to a closed bank account or a problem with the card).

Adjustments correspond to additions or deductions from your Stripe balance that are made outside of the normal charge/refund flow. For example, some of the most common reasons for adjustments are:

• Refund failures. If your customer’s bank or card issuer is unable to correctly process a refund (e.g., due to a closed bank account or a problem with the card) Stripe returns the funds to your balance. The returned funds are represented as a Balance transaction with the type adjustment, where the description indicates the related refund object.
• Disputes. When a customer disputes a charge, Stripe deducts the disputed amount from your balance. The deduction is represented as a Balance transaction with the type adjustment, where the source object is a dispute.
• Dispute reversals. When you win a dispute, the disputed amount is returned to your balance. The returned funds are represented as a Balance transaction with the type adjustment, where the source object is a dispute.
• In the past, fees for Stripe software and services (e.g., for Radar, Connect and Billing) were represented as adjustments.
• In the past, Connect platform fee refunds were represented as adjustments.

The description field on the Balance transaction describes the purpose of each adjustment.

When an issued card is used to make a purchase, an authorization is created. If the authorization is approved, a balance transaction is created with the type issuing_authorization_hold to hold the authorized amount in reserve from your account balance, until the authorization is either captured or voided. Some merchants can also update an authorization to request an additional amount (e.g., to extend a hotel booking or add a tip), and this is also represented as a balance transaction with the type issuing_authorization_hold.

When an authorized purchase, made with an issued card, is captured by the merchant, the funds previously held for the authorization (issuing_authorization_hold) are released with a issuing_authorization_release balance transaction. Simultaneously, an issuing transaction is created, and the purchase amount is deducted from your Stripe balance in another balance transaction with the type issuing_transaction.
