How can you reduce false positives while using Radar?

• A. Fine-tune custom Radar rules
• B. Update the block threshold to allow more charges
• C. Disable Radar entirely
• D. Only test with test mode

Answer: (A)

Radar reduces false positives by letting you tailor its rules to fit how your business operates. Fine-tuning custom Radar rules lets you adjust which signals trigger potential fraud alerts, create whitelist rules for known-good customers, and set different thresholds for specific scenarios like trusted geographies, card types, or transaction patterns. This targeted tuning preserves strong protection while reducing legitimate orders being blocked, because you’re teaching Radar what looks normal for your customers and what should be treated with less suspicion. Other options are broader or less effective for this goal. Changing the block threshold might change overall risk tolerance but can either let more fraud through or block more legitimate transactions, without addressing the underlying signals that cause false positives. Disabling Radar removes fraud protection entirely, which isn’t desirable. Relying only on test mode doesn’t impact production decisions, so it won’t reduce real false positives in live transactions.
