Customer abuse prevention

Use Stripe Radar to detect and prevent account abuse by your customers.

Stripe Radar provides abuse prevention APIs that let you detect and act on suspicious behavior before it impacts your revenue. Use Radar when you need to prevent abuse that occurs when your customer creates an account or logs in, or in between billing cycles.

Customer account evaluations

Detect multi-accounting and account sharing abuse at signup and login, before you collect payment. Block fraudulent actors earlier in your workflow.

Free trial abuse prevention

Detect customers likely to abuse free trials by collecting a payment method at the start of a trial. You can block high-risk trials before they convert to subscriptions.

Pay-as-you-go abuse evaluation

Identify subscription customers unlikely to pay their next invoice before a billing cycle ends. You can limit usage, issue an early invoice, or flag accounts for review mid-cycle.

Bot abuse prevention

Detect payments likely made by automated scripts or agents. You can write rules to block high-scoring payments based on your anti-bot policies.

Refund abuse prevention

Detect customers likely to abuse your refund policy. You can write rules to block or flag payments from serial refunders based on the refund abuse risk level.

Account farming prevention

Detect coordinated account farming and write custom rules to block associated card payments.
