Omg.. :sad_cat: Stripe just closed my account after I don’t know how many years.. Apparently I am a ‘risk’ now while I’ve never had any issue with them beforeNow half of the donation methodes are falling away.. Please only use the following ways for donating♥️https://paypal.me/stuxOShttps://patreon.com/mstdn https://bunq.me/stuxhostThey don’t make it easier unfortunately :neocat_cry_loud:

@stux I don't know what's been going on, but they've been doing this a lot lately. They've done it to me 3 times so far I think recently (each time I appealed, they re-opened my account, then it happened again a few days later). I looked up their FAQ and specifically sent them a link to the article showing that my use case was okay. Unfortunately it seems like "fundraising" in general is forbidden, but every fundraising site uses them and most don't have an alternative :S

@stux did you ever have any chargebacks? I'm curious what their basis is for "risk” — they seem to want to push people to not use them directly but instead use the big platforms.. which is weird.

@stux I'm sorry these issues are happening to you. I see that you're stressed. Take a breather. Resolve one issue at a time. Don't let this rile you up irrationally.

@thisismissem @stuxI don't say it's a good thing but it kinda makes sense, they get the same amount of money, but don't have to deal with any user's problems and just offload them to others

@gloopsies @stux then why offer products like Stripe Elements and Stripe Checkout? https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkoutI think this is something else going on here.

Thank you for the heads up!Same happened to us with Square. We only found out one day while trying to process a payment. From NerdWallet - https://www.nerdwallet.com/best/small-business/stripe-competitors Leaving us hanging meant that Square can kiss our :ablobfoxloading: for the rest of recorded time.

@stux why not trying revolut they allow you to receive money trough revtag (username) and the chat you can access (when sending money) is E2EElike that no need to trow out your bank number and allow an emergency account to receive money

@stux You can accept card payments directly through operators like MyPOS, which is European. You don't need extra intermediaries.

@stux http://www.wise.comOpen an account for free and create accounts for all the currencies you need to accept.You can have local bank details for:AUD, NZD, CAD, USD, EUR, GBP, SGD and a couple of others.With local bank details people can do a simple EFT to you with no fees. You can convert currencies at the current market rate and send money with very low fees much faster than telegraphic transfers. Sometimes international transfers are instant.You can also get a visa debit card to access your funds from anywhere.It doesn't replace being able to accept card payments of course but you also don't need to deal with third parties and middle men and it is another option. It is always good to have options.
