Ghost Audit is a tool for auditing Stripe accounts. Its main function is to identify and reduce revenue losses caused by ghost transactions. Ghost transactions are payment methods that appear legitimate but bypass Stripe Radar fraud detection, allowing fraudsters to test stolen credit cards without triggering an alert due to the lack of key verification data such as billing address AVS or CVC checks. The importance of this tool is to help merchants ensure Stripe account security, compliance, and maximize profits through real-time monitoring and AI-driven risk scoring. The product background is a targeted solution developed based on the vulnerability of ghost transaction detection in many Stripe accounts. In terms of price, there are three options: a one-time scan for $9.90, a monthly plan for $19.90, and an annual plan for $99.90. Its positioning is to provide security and risk prevention and control for merchants who use Stripe for payment.
