A treasury clerk struggles to prevent fraudulent online ticket purchases and chargebacks because their Stripe setup lacks effective bot detection and timely alerts, allowing scammers to redeem tickets before disputes are caught.

Stripe's free Radar fails to catch all fraud, lacks timely notifications for early fraud warnings, and doesn't alert on successful transactions after repeated blocks, so the clerk can't invalidate tickets before redemption.
