Stripe Radar is a fraud detection and prevention tool built directly into the Stripe payment flow. It uses machine learning trained on data from billions of global transactions to assign risk scores to every payment. Radar can automatically block suspicious payments, trigger 3D Secure verification, or flag transactions for manual review.
