Stripe Chargeback Prevention

Q: How do I reduce my Stripe chargeback rate?

Validate customer emails and IPs before processing payment using Fidro's API. Fidro detects disposable emails, VPN usage, and high-risk IP patterns that correlate with chargeback fraud, helping you decline or review suspicious transactions before they complete.

Q: What chargeback rate will get my Stripe account terminated?

Stripe monitors chargeback rates and may restrict or terminate accounts exceeding 1% of transactions. Fidro helps keep your rate well below this threshold by catching fraudulent transactions before payment.

Q: Can Fidro provide evidence for Stripe disputes?

Yes, Fidro generates detailed validation reports including email legitimacy, IP geolocation, VPN/proxy detection, and risk scores that you can submit as evidence when disputing chargebacks in Stripe.

Q: How does Fidro integrate with Stripe?

Call Fidro's /v1/validate endpoint with the customer's email and IP before creating a Stripe charge. Use the risk score to decide whether to proceed, flag for manual review, or decline the transaction.

Reduce your Stripe chargeback rate by validating customers before they pay. Fidro integrates directly with Stripe to flag high-risk transactions.

What is Fidro?

Fidro is a fraud detection API that combines email validation, IP intelligence, geolocation analysis, and Stripe chargeback prevention in a single API call. Built for developers at startups and growing companies, Fidro returns a risk score with a clear recommendation — allow, review, or block — so you can stop fraud without building your own scoring logic. Fidro offers a free plan with 1,000 validations per month, no credit card required.

The Problem

Chargebacks cost 2-3x the transaction amount when you factor in fees, lost product, and operational overhead. A chargeback rate above 1% puts your Stripe account at risk of termination.
