In the context of implementing Radar for Fraud Teams, what occurs when payment details match both an allow and a block rule?

When payment details match both an allow and a block rule in Stripe's Radar for Fraud Teams, the payment is allowed. This prioritization is rooted in the principle that allow rules are designed to take precedence over block rules. Essentially, if a payment meets the criteria established in an allow rule, it is deemed safer and therefore authorized despite also matching criteria in a block rule. This approach helps ensure valid and legitimate transactions are processed smoothly, minimizing unnecessary disruptions for reliable customers.

Understanding the framework of how allow and block rules operate within Radar is crucial for effectively managing potential fraud while supporting customer experience. This prioritization ensures that legitimate transactions are not inadvertently blocked and encourages the seamless continuation of business operations.
