Risk insights
Understand risk factors and details about a particular payment.
Using its AI models, Stripe Radar determines the risk score and risk level for a payment and uses them to decide when to block or mark payments for review. The system evaluates hundreds of risk factors about each payment, using data from the Stripe network across millions of businesses. Risk insights shows you the risk factors that power Stripe Radar.

Risk insights for payments
Note
We store risk insights data for up to 6 months. If a transaction is older than this, you won’t be able to access the risk insights interface.
Risk insights also includes information about the customer, such as matching the cardholder’s name with the provided email, and the success rate of transactions on the Stripe network associated with the email address. A low authorization rate might indicate suspicious behavior, because previous declines sometimes suggest past attempts at fraudulent transactions.
We also highlight geography-based information, including the billing, shipping, and IP address locations associated with this payment.
Related payments
You can also view the network of related payments, which includes any other payments made to your business using the same customer ID, IP address, or card number as the payment you’re currently viewing. This can help identify common fraud patterns, such as card testing (many different cards sharing a single IP address) or trial abuse (many “customers” share the same card).
