Adds fraud risk assessments to Issuing Authorisations
What’s new
If you use Radar, Issuing Authorisations now include the GA version of the risk_assessment.fraud_risk property, which provides Stripe’s assessment of fraud likelihood for the authorisation.
The risk_assessment.fraud_risk property contains:
- level : A string indicating the fraud risk level ( elevated , highest , low , normal , not _ assessed , or unknown ).
- score : A float representing the numerical fraud risk score.
This assessment helps you make informed decisions about whether to approve or decline authorisation requests based on Stripe’s fraud detection algorithms.
Impact
You can access fraud risk information directly from the Authorisation object to enhance your fraud prevention strategies. The data is available immediately when you retrieve an Authorisation and you can use it to implement custom authorisation logic or monitoring workflows.
If you’re currently using the preview of Radar, this GA release differs in the following ways:
- We now provide an expanded set of possible risk levels.
- Fraud risk scores are floats instead of integers.
- Two fields have been renamed:
- risk _ level is now level
- fraud _ score is now score .
