Radar is a service provided by Stripe to help protect your payment processing from fraud. 

Radar is a machine learning detection algorithm that identifies fraudulent activity on payments that take place on Stripe’s platform. It sits unseen in the background, quietly reviewing every transaction for signs of fraud and provides real-time scoring for every incoming payment based on thousands of signals. Radar uses its experience in processing millions of transactions to recognize when a transaction might be suspicious. 

It is meant to be a "smarter" way to review cards for potential fraud with fewer rejections of legitimate cards that should be processed. This service is offered on all Stripe accounts and comes with pre-built rules for address verification, CVV verification, and risk scores that denote a potential fraud issue.

There is no additional cost for Radar.
