In the past 12 months, we've analyzed thousands of transactions on digital stores, and helped businesses process payments safely, without a single incident of fraud. And we'd love to show you how you can do the same.

Inspired by Sellix's article, we've developed a unique approach based on our analysis of tens of thousands of transactions over a 4-year stretch. We've crafted each rule with legitimate transactions in mind, ensuring we don't block or prevent genuine payments from coming through.

The Importance of 3DS

3D Secure (3DS) plays a pivotal role in curbing online fraud. 3DS is like an added layer of security that authenticates online payments. By implementing 3DS, not only you add an extra layer of security for your customers' transactions but also shift liability of fraud disputes to the card issuer.

Basic Radar Rules: A Must for Everyone

Some of Stripe Radar's basic rules that everyone should have in place include:

• Immediately block if a Card Verification Code (CVC) attempt fails.
• Mandate 3D Secure (3DS) for cards that support it.

3DS Rules:

Request 3DS if :risk_score: > 18
Request 3DS if :total_charges_per_customer_daily: > 3
Request 3DS if :card_count_for_email_weekly: > 1
Request 3DS if :is_anonymous_ip:

Block Rules:

Stricter Rules: Going the Extra Mile

For those willing to strengthen their fraud prevention even more consider:

• Let's tighten the screws, identify clever fraud activity and block it.
• Mandate 3DS for transactions with suspicious activity.
Request 3DS :ip_address_connection_type: = 'cable/dsl' and :risk_score: >= 10
Request 3DS :total_charges_per_ip_address_weekly: > 3
Request 3DS :card_count_for_ip_address_weekly: > 1
Request 3DS :blocked_charges_per_email_daily: > 1 and :risk_score: > 15
Block if :card_count_for_email_daily: > 3
Block if :card_count_for_ip_address_daily: > 3
Block if :card count for ip address hourly: > 2 and :risk score: > 15
Block if :digital wallet: = 'androidpay' and :riskscore: > 15
Block if :card_funding: = 'prepaid' and :risk_score: >= 20
Block if :distance between ip and billing address: >= 150 and :risk score: >= 25
Block if :blocked_charges_per_email_daily: >= 3

By implementing these 3DS and block rules, you can minimize fraud attempts by about 90%. But we're not here to help you minimize fraud, our mission is to eradicate it entirely and make your business a fraud resistant fortress.
