Why did my order fail?
The most common reason for an order to fail is that that billing address that you provided does not match what the credit card company has on file, especially zip codes. Stripe cross-references the information and if they don’t match, the transaction will fail. Please contact your credit card company to make sure they have the correct information or try using a different credit card.Help! When I place my order it says “Error: The zip code you supplied failed validation.” What should I do?
