Adds fraud risk assessments to Issuing Authorizations

What’s new

If you use Advanced Fraud Tools, Issuing Authorizations now include the GA version of the risk_assessment.fraud_risk property, which provides Stripe’s assessment of fraud likelihood for the authorization.

The risk_assessment.fraud_risk property contains:

• level: A string indicating the fraud risk level (elevated, highest, low, normal, not_assessed, or unknown).
• score: A float representing the numerical fraud risk score.

This assessment helps you make informed decisions about whether to approve or decline authorization requests based on Stripe’s fraud detection algorithms.

Impact

You can access fraud risk information directly from the Authorization object to enhance your fraud prevention strategies. The data is available immediately when you retrieve an Authorization and you can use it to implement custom authorization logic or monitoring workflows.

If you’re currently using the preview of Advanced Fraud Tools, this GA release differs in the following ways:

• We now provide an expanded set of possible risk levels.
• Fraud risk scores are floats instead of integers.
• Two fields have been renamed:
  • risk_level is now level
  • fraud_score is now score.
