What is Stripe Radar?

• A. A payment gateway for processing international transfers.
• B. Fraud prevention solution that leverages machine learning to reduce credit card fraud and approve more legitimate transactions globally - with zero code required.
• C. A customer onboarding toolkit.
• D. A tax calculation service.

Answer: (B)

Radar is Stripe's fraud prevention tool that uses machine learning to detect and block fraudulent charges while allowing legitimate transactions to be approved. It analyzes each payment in real time, drawing on Stripe's global data to assign a risk score and automate decisions—block, challenge, or allow. The no-code setup means you can enable and tune protections directly in the Stripe Dashboard without writing any code, making it easy to reduce fraud and improve legitimate approvals worldwide. This isn't a payment gateway for international transfers, a customer onboarding toolkit, or a tax calculation service; it's specifically focused on preventing fraud across Stripe payments.
