Stripe expired_card: what it means and how to fix it

The card has passed its expiry date.

Should you retry?

Needs customer action: retry only after they update or confirm

Common causes

  • Card reached its expiry date
  • Customer never updated after a reissue

How to recover the payment

  • Enable Stripe's automatic card updater so reissued cards refresh
  • Email customers 30 days before expiry
  • Send an update-payment-method link as soon as it fails
