This looks very promising. Stripe seems to have sometimes let surprising payments through up to now, even with all the card details security checks they provided activated, and they've never supported 3-D Secure. They've also suffered from surprisingly high rates of unexpected declined charges in our experience. Hopefully if they're now rolling out more comprehensive fraud protection, that will go some way to address…

(I work on Radar at Stripe) thank you, and do let me know if there's anything we can do to help you get set up on Radar. Additionally, we actually do support 3Dsecure in private beta -- mind emailing me (tara@stripe.com) for access?

I like the rotating 3D model in the landing page very much. Are they using some sort of pre-baked library which lets you create such an visualization with 30 lines of Javascript, or is it 100% custom? Maybe someone can point me to a good resource for such elegant WebGL renderings.

It's a bit unclear to me; these rules appear to be automated but then they show a rule builder interface?

How would I ever know if the rule I've built is too constraining, or too loose in accepting payments?

Payment is not exactly an area of my business that I want to do a lot of trial and error..

(just saw your edit) Radar is included for the vast majority of our users who are on the standard rate. If you're an enterprise customer on a very custom plan, there's a small per transaction fee.

Doesn't seem to be a way to use this without using stripe. Would be handier to send them info, have them give a pass/fail or score, and return that info. And charge for the service, vs having to migrate to them. Thanks to uladzislau - wasn't aware of SiftScience - will have to check them out...

MaxMind is another popular one.

Always gotta hand it to Stripe to build a killer looking landing page

Chrome says the page is 600kb. That might be large compared to say, HN, but compared to tons of other landing pages (or just regular pages) it's fairly light!

I work at a company with a fairly large number of transactions and we don't really have a problem with fraud. I don't know anyone else who's really battled it either. Is it much more prevalent for certain industries and products?

Of course. I sell business software, never had a fraudulent transaction ever. But the video game and porn industries, for example? Tons of fraud.
