Communicating Stripe payment errors to customers

Stripe are pretty good at documenting their decline codes and explaining what they mean. But writing the error copy can still be a pain. So I put together content templates for all 47 decline codes. They're clear, user-friendly, and based on Stripe's open-source docs. Hope this helps someone :)
