Title: Failed Order Due to Zipcode Last modified: October 20, 2022 --- # Failed Order Due to Zipcode * Resolved [heruspeaks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heruspeaks/) * (@heruspeaks) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-order-due-to-zipcode/) * I am using Stripe through my WordPress Woocommerce plugin. I received a Failed Order notice from a customer purchase stating, “We couldn’t verify the postal code in the billing address. If the issue persists, suggest the customer to reach out to the card issuing bank.” However, the customer zip code is accurate and can be verified with the street address, city and state on Google. How can I stop this from happening again?

The card issuer checks this against the information they have on file for the cardholder. If the provided information doesn’t match, the verification check fails. A failed CVC or postal code check can indicate the payment is fraudulent, so review it carefully before fulfilling the order. * Since this happened with one customer, I recommend verifying if they are using the exact same postcode that they’ve used on your cards. * If you find that the postcodes are matching with the card details but payments are still failing please [create a ticket](https://woocommerce.com/my-account/create-a-ticket/) so that we can take a look at this further. * Hope this helps! * Thread Starter [heruspeaks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heruspeaks/) * (@heruspeaks) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-order-due-to-zipcode/#post-16116796) * The customer address and zip code is correct.

If the issue persists, suggest the customer to reach out to the card issuing bank.” I have another customer with the same city, state and zip code and their orders are going through. I’ve also checked Google Maps and their zip code is correct and she sent me a screen shot of the info that her credit card has on file for her and it matches what she entered. * This is a brand new customer and I don’t want to lose them as a customer or have to manually take their order each week so I need to find out if there’s more to this than simply the zip code.
