Stripe Radar
Learn about our integrated solution for fraud protection.
Stripe Radar is a suite of modern tools to help you fight fraud. It’s fully integrated into your payments flow and you can start using it without any additional development time.
At the center of Stripe Radar is a machine learning system that provides real-time transaction scoring based upon thousands of signals about each incoming card payment. Our system also uses data across Stripe’s network of millions of businesses to evaluate the level of risk for each payment you process, and has shielded businesses on Stripe from millions of attempted fraudulent payments. You may also use Stripe Radar to dynamically prompt your customers for authentication with 3D Secure, giving you a liability shift against fraudulent payments that have been verified by the card issuer.
