Join us for a Stripe Radar community workshop focused on helping merchants prepare for the busiest and most challenging payment period of the year.
Black Friday and the holiday season bring more than higher payment volumes. Fraud patterns change too. More new customers, higher-value purchases, international traffic, gift cards, account takeovers and attempts to test stolen cards can all put additional pressure on payment teams.
Together with the Stripe Radar product team, we’ll look at how merchants can prepare their fraud strategy before peak season, understand emerging patterns and balance fraud prevention with a smooth customer experience.
