Stripe will give you a “fingerprint” of a card that you’re allowed to do whatever you want with, and recommend that you use that to block cards.


Yep. You can either write code for it or use Radar to block the charge by fingerprint (write a rule once in your Stripe dashboard to block cards on a blocklist, add a fingerprint to the list when you identify an abusive customer, done). This lets you block a card without ever contaminating yourself with knowledge of its number (we expose the fingerprint in a variety of places to you, like API responses or on the charge detail page in the Dashboard).

French here, but isn't it a typo ?

"Use this list with so payments by these customers are always allowed automatically."


Thanks, will get it fixed.


Appart from the obvious benefit of not storing the credit card yourself, I imagine if a user switch cards, the number change and we are back to the same.
