Creates Issuing authorisations when Stripe is unavailable
What’s new
Creates Issuing authorizations when the card network responds on Stripe’s behalf because Stripe is unavailable. For backwards compatibility, network-approved authorisations have a request_history.reason value of card_active, while network-declined authorisations have a webhook_error value. These authorisations trigger issuing_authorization.created webhook events. Depending on the failure mode, Stripe might also send an issuing_authorization.request webhook event.
Impact
This change reveals what the cardholder experienced, in case the card network can’t contact Stripe because of a Stripe error or outage.
