Shopify payments + Stripe do_not_honor creditcard failed payments

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing a very frustrating problem with Shopify Payments and Stripe. Almost all creditcard payments get declined with the code ''do-not-honor''. The problem is occurring on a Shopify store in the Danish market. It started a few weeks ago in Stripe, before that I was selling in Denmark for 4-6 weeks without any problems. I switched to Shopify Payments and it went well for 2 weeks, after that the same problem occured.
I am still waiting for a reply from Shopify payments and Stripe, but I have little hope that they will come up with a solution. I have ready similar posts on this forum where people have the same problem without any solutions.
Is there anyone who has a solution to this problem? Or a recommendation for a different payment provider, other checkout provider etc.?

Yes, switch to another payment provider. I switched to Airwallex, problem solved. Shopify and Stripe will never admit that the problem is on their side.

Hey, @ecomneth8 

Typically, The 'Do Not Honor' error indicates that the payment processor declined the order payment attempt. It is a generic decline code that doesn't provide specific information. I would recommend having the customer contact their banks so they can get more details regarding why their payment was declined.

 

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

What a worthless piece of advice. 

I switched to another payment provider and the problem is immediately solved. Pretty obvious that the problem is on Shopify / Stripe's side right?

Does Airwallex ad an extra page to the checkout?

No it is just another payment provider, checkout stays the same. You can of course choose whatever other payment provider you want to use.
