Tenant Payment Declined or Rejected

Troubleshoot declined or rejected tenant payments by verifying billing information and having the tenant contact their bank, since declines are issued by the tenant's bank, not DoorLoop.

Written by Samuel

When a tenant's payment is declined or rejected, it means their bank has decided not to honor the transaction — not DoorLoop or Stripe.

Common Causes

  • Incorrect billing information — Wrong address, account number, or card details

  • Insufficient funds — The account doesn't have enough to cover the payment

  • Bank-level restriction — The bank is blocking the transaction for security or policy reasons

What To Do

  1. Ask the tenant to double-check their billing address and payment method details

  2. If the information is correct, have the tenant contact their bank to ask why the transaction was rejected

  3. The tenant can also try a different payment method

Ultimately, it is the tenant's responsibility to resolve payment declines with their bank.
