Hey @Alfred, I took a look at the two failed payments. It looks like for both of these the card issuer declined the payment, but didn’t share additional information about why. This customer would need to contact their bank for more information on what caused the decline.

@josh-square

thanks for help on this topic,

just would like to confirm, did the 3 payments have the same requests from square to card issuer? (of course except for the difference on the timestamp, and the amount which came from our application)

@Alfred It does look like the 3 requests were the same, with the exception of timestamps and tip amount.
