Stripe Payment Reviews

Stripe has always considered content creators, coaching, informational products, and influencers as a restricted business…

In fact, nothing generally has changed in their Prohibited list. 

However, the language has been made much more explicit around Content Creators.

The language has always been there, but it has been subtle…

What does this mean for you? 

Stripe is explicitly telling you that content creators are NOT a good fit for them.

At Easy Pay Direct, we’ve been explaining this to business owners for 10 years.

Sure, you can sign up for an account with Stripe as a content creator, but because they don’t do any Underwriting, they know nothing about your business when you sign up.

What are the ramifications of this?

Once you start processing, their algorithm will eventually uncover that your business model is something they do not support.

And then… They shut you down and hold your money.

Thankfully, we have a solution for you.

Taken Directly From Stripes Website:

As a Content Creator, you need a truly reliable merchant account.

Last year, Stripe closed down millions of merchant accounts.

Why?
Because it’s how their business model works…

They do not offer underwriting, which means they know nothing about your business when they set you up.

Why is this important?
Stripe and others restrict and prohibit MANY types of businesses, some of which you would not expect.

For example, anyone processing over $50,000 per month is considered a higher risk.

Or a business that offers subscriptions makes bold claims, or any other one of Stripe, PayPal, Squares, etc.… arbitrary and non-descript rules.

Since these PayFacs don’t do underwriting, they don’t learn about these things until AFTER you are set up.

So you might be able to process for a day, a week, or a month, but eventually, they will take a look at your account.

And there is a high probability that they will impose restrictions, hold funds, or close the account.

Even worse, if one of your competitors does anything to trigger a flag in their system, they look at the entire industry.

And through no fault of your own, a competitor’s misstep could mean a closed account for you.

So, how does Easy Pay Direct differ? And how do we keep our client’s merchant accounts stable?

The KEY component is thorough underwriting.

Our specialists underwrite your account so that we understand your business and marketing model.

This allows us to match you with a back-end bank that works with your vertical.

Which GREATLY lowers the chance of you ever having an issue.

Plus, you’ll get:
• The Best Rates In The Industry
• A Single Dedicated Point Of Contact
• Recurring Billing
• And more (see below)

We’ll also work with you to optimize your payments for the lifetime of your account.

Lowering your decline rates so that you can increase revenue, monitoring your chargeback ratios, and helping to mitigate them, plus much more.
