Stripe payout errorStripe: payout failed

Rather not fix it yourself? Stripe Billing Fix and Setup handles it at a fixed price, agreed before work starts.

Why the payout failed, and the fix

1. 01

   The account or routing number is wrong

   “If a payout fails, make sure your bank account details are correct by re-entering them.” Stripe, Payout failures

   A typo can point the payout at no account at all (no_account) or at someone else’s. Re-enter the details carefully: Stripe says it might not recover funds sent to the wrong account.

2. 02

   The bank account is closed

   “Stripe then reattempts the payout at the next scheduled payout interval.” Stripe, Payout failures

   account_closed means the bank no longer takes deposits into that account. Add a new bank account in the Dashboard, and Stripe tries the payout again at the next scheduled payout.

3. 03

   The bank refused it for its own reasons

   “If your banking details are correct and the payout failure is for other reasons, contact your bank.” Stripe, Payout failures

   Codes such as debit_not_authorized or invalid_currency point at the account’s setup at the bank. If the details are right, call the bank, then click Resume Payouts in the Dashboard.

4. 04

   The app trusted the paid status

   “Error code that provides a reason for a payout failure, if available.” Stripe, Payout object (failure_code)

   A payout can show paid first and failed days later. If your app or books act on payouts, handle the payout.failed webhook and log the code.

   if (event.type === 'payout.failed') {
     const payout = event.data.object;
     console.log(payout.id, payout.failure_code, payout.failure_message);
   }
