Just out of curiosity, does the idempotency guarantee cover deliberate shopper actions, or just retries due to network errors?
Shouldn't high velocity + high amount purchases be treated as potential (friendly) fraud and blocked by some fraud system somewhere?
- edwinwee 7y agoIdempotency doesn't. It's meant to prevent duplicate actions. For what you're talking about, that fraud system is already built into Stripe! Stripe's fraud shield detects high velocity (along with hundreds of other signals)[1]. You can also tune Stripe Radar[2] to block purchases with amounts that would be abnormally high for your business.
