Stripe Checkout

Stripe Checkout is Stripe's hosted checkout surface — a prebuilt, Stripe-hosted payment page that merchants embed or link to rather than building checkout UI themselves. Surfaced on the wiki at the 2026-05-27 disclosure as the target surface for Radar's new bot-score signal in the agentic-commerce era.

This is a stub page anchored to the bot-score disclosure; Checkout's full surface (payment-method selection, embedded vs hosted modes, Link integration, mobile / web / app targets) is broader than the fraud disclosure that triggered this page.

Bot scoring surface (2026-05-27)

Per the 2026-05-27 Sessions disclosure:

"Radar now assigns a bot score to payments made on Stripe Checkout, evaluating the likelihood that they were made by a malicious bot."

The score lets merchants enforce anti-scripting / anti-bot policies — "block automated purchases of limited-edition items or flag high-velocity orders for review."

The architectural pattern is bot score on checkout: emit a per-payment bot-likelihood score at the checkout surface and leave enforcement policy (block, throttle, queue, require human verification) to the merchant.

The bot score addresses a specifically agentic-era hard problem (see agentic-commerce): legitimate AI agents acting on a buyer's behalf and malicious bots are both nonhuman traffic, so the classifier is not human-vs-bot but authorised-agent-vs-malicious-bot.

Seen in

  • systems/stripe-radar — emits the bot score; runs on Checkout payments.
  • systems/stripe-link — Stripe's wallet, which checkout payments can route through.
  • agentic-commerce — bot-vs-agent classification primitive on the checkout surface.
  • bot-score-on-checkout — pattern.
  • companies/stripe — vendor.
