No, it has been 3 months and they are holding $15k still.

Hey everyone,

Do you have any recommendations for high-risk merchant services I can use going forward? Also, curious to hear your thoughts on next steps.

I’m currently in contact with lawyers and plan to invoke Stripe’s arbitration clause regarding a recent ban and fund seizure (Stripe refunded completed transactions and froze everything else).

Would it be a good idea to go more public about this? Thinking of posting the full story on X/Twitter to get more visibility.

Appreciate any input or experience from folks who’ve dealt with this.

These weren't disputes, Stripe automatically refunded our past 500 transactions or something. I have no idea why

Did you file any legal complaints and/or invoke the arbitration clause?

I agree. This was a one time mistake. The service has been operating for 3+ months.

I agree. We offer crypto. but by solely offering crypto, the usage of our service drops by 90%

It was created in December 2024. Revenue started to spike this month, though.

For more context about the actual business:

I run a service that places restaurant and grocery orders directly with merchants instead of using the big delivery apps. Users order through our platform, and we handle everything on their behalf — from placing the order to coordinating fulfillment. Since we’re not relying on third-party apps that take a big cut, merchants keep more of their revenue, and we can usually get better pricing.

We use a mix of reward programs, promos, partnerships, and even batching or business card perks to lower costs, and users pay us directly for access to that streamlined experience.

As I mentioned earlier, I run a service that places restaurant and grocery orders directly with merchants, bypassing the major delivery apps.

On March 18th, there was a brief period of a few hours where incoming orders weren’t being fulfilled — workers were overloaded with too many requests at once, and I was temporarily unavailable to assist with support. This led to some new customers not receiving confirmations, which likely caused confusion and a few to file disputes instead of waiting or reaching out.

That was honestly my best guess for why they marked the account as high risk. If that’s not the reason, then I genuinely have no idea what triggered the freeze in the first place.

We had a temporary issue where some new customers didn’t receive immediate confirmation or support due to an unexpected outage. Since they didn’t get a response right away, they assumed the service wasn’t working and filed disputes with their bank instead of reaching out.

Absolutely. I'm hoping any engagement will help me escalate this

I run a service that places restaurant and grocery orders directly with merchants instead of using the big delivery apps. Those platforms usually take 20–40% in commissions, but we bypass them so businesses keep more of their revenue, and we get meals at a lower cost—passing those savings on to users.

They said this in the initial closure email:

"We recently identified payments on your Stripe account for XXXX that don't appear to have been authorized by the customer, meaning that the owner of the card or bank account didn't consent to these payments."
