When Stripe Radar Isn’t the Whole Answer

Fraud controls are essential, but they don’t explain why real customers abandon checkout. Teams complement Radar with a conversion workflow that audits UX, prioritizes fixes, and verifies KPI impact safely.

Fraud tools don’t fix UX issues that cause checkout abandonment
Radar optimizes risk decisions, not conversion prioritization
Costs scale with transaction volume (per screened transaction fees)
Fine-tuning rules can become operational work
