Restricting Stripe Payments to Domestic Cards

This article is intended for the Admin user overseeing a school's Stripe account to use Payments for Activity Selection.

International cards will attract a higher fee on Stripe than domestic cards will. To avoid these fees, you can block non-domestic cards from making payments.

  1. Log into your Stripe account and click More

  2. Then click Radar

  3. Next, click Rules under Fraud & Risk

  4. Scroll down to the Block rules section and click Add rule (top right)

  5. Enter :card_country: != 'AU' (see second image below) and click Test rule

  6. If no errors occur, click Add and enable (see third image below). You should now see the rule in your list of rules.

In this example, we have used ‘AU’ for Australia. If you need to use another country code, search for the country in this article's Officially assigned code elements table and use the two letters from the Code column.

You can implement other rules to limit cards used under certain conditions. See this stripe article on Radar Rules.
