stripe radar blocking prepaid cards legit
Rules that block prepaid cards kill certain segments. Whitelist legit prepaid where risk allows, then re-measure conversion.
The actual problem
Radar rules that blanket-block prepaid cards cut off gift-card buyers without reducing real fraud much.
Do this
- Segment block rate for prepaid vs credit; measure LTV of blocked prepaid.
- Relax prepaid blocks for low-AOV domestic; keep holds on high-AOV ship-to-elsewhere.
- Offer alternate tender messaging when prepaid is declined.
- Compare dispute rate before/after the rule change.
