HTTP Status Code Summary

200	OK	Everything worked as expected.
400	Bad Request	The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter.
401	Unauthorized	No valid API key provided.
402	Request Failed	The parameters were valid but the request failed.
403	Forbidden	The API key doesn’t have permissions to perform the request.
404	Not Found	The requested resource doesn’t exist.
409	Conflict	The request conflicts with another request (perhaps due to using the same idempotent key).
424	External Dependency Failed	The request couldn’t be completed due to a failure in a dependency external to Stripe.
429	Too Many Requests	Too many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests.
500, 502, 503, 504	Server Errors	Something went wrong on Stripe’s end. (These are rare.)

Error Types

api_error	API errors cover any other type of problem (e.g., a temporary problem with Stripe’s servers), and are extremely uncommon.
card_error	Card errors are the most common type of error you should expect to handle. They result when the user enters a card that can’t be charged for some reason.
idempotency_error	Idempotency errors occur when an Idempotency-Key is re-used on a request that does not match the first request’s API endpoint and parameters.
invalid_request_error	Invalid request errors arise when your request has invalid parameters.
