Businesses that use this feature experience an 18% increase in cross-border revenue and an eight per cent uplift in conversion, on average.Stripe has also introduced AI-powered tools to help combat fraud, including Radar Assistant, which lets businesses use natural language prompts to describe new fraud rules they’d like to set.In addition, expanded market coverage now enables US merchants to accept payments from South Korean customers.
