By default, Radar doesn’t scan if you set up a Payment Method for future use without a charge. Because of this, Stripe allows for Radar and Radar for Fraud Teams to be enabled for SetupIntents. Request 3DS, Allow Rules, and Block rules can be evaluated against Setup Intents, however Radar for Setup Intents does not support Review rules.

Enable Radar for Setup Intents

To enable Radar for SetupIntents, go to the Radar settings in your Dashboard and toggle Use Radar on payment methods saved for future use. This applies Radar rules to payment methods created using the Setup Intents API. You will be charged per SetupIntent confirmation attempt, including SetupIntents generated by Subscriptions created with non-payment invoices.

Default Radar rules for Setup Intents

Prior to November 2024, the default Radar rules Block if CVC verification fails and Block if postal code verification fails were evaluated for all Setup Intents, regardless of a user’s Radar settings. This behavior was inconsistent with evaluation of other Radar rules, which are only triggered for Setup Intents if a user had enabled Radar for Setup Intents.

We have rolled out a change that only enforces the default CVC verification and postal code verification block rules when Radar is enabled for Setup Intents.
