A payment solution that allows you to accept credit card payments at your e-shop. The advantage of placing a Stripe payment solution is the fast free account setup and activation, which is almost instantaneous. There is no need to fill out any lengthy applications or forms. An advantage of this system is the "Radar" service, which is also already available in the Czech Republic. This service can predict a possible fraudulent transaction attempt before the payment is finalised. It can block and flag such a payment and prevent the user from proceeding, saving not only the chargeback fees but also the subsequent complications. If you are interested in information about the Stripe gateway, you can register with Stripe and by downloading the admin add-on, you can set up the information that Stripe provides and offer this gateway to your customers.
