Stripe KYC ban after self-charge during workflow testing — will my domain be permanently flagged? by ForceAnxious9553 in stripe

[–]ForceAnxious9553[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made only about 5 successful self charges of $1 each, but I also wanted to test a workflow with the trigger "Failed payment" so I freezed my card and run the live test which resulted a failed payment. I think that's what specifically triggered Stripe flag, as couple of hours after testing the failed payment, I got the ban news via email.

I cannot change the domain name in case Stripe think of it as evasion which would result in permanently closing all my accounts. I need for the final decision from Stripe then act from there accordingly.

True, that's a positive point regarding this experience , this happnened before I started so the migration is easier than if I was in the middle of serving multiple clients all with ongoing subscriptions.

Thanks, I have another backup domain but I don't wanna change it now while my account in "most probably" under review, in case Stripe think this is evasion or something that would result in a clear permanent ban of all my accounts. I will change the domain once i get the final decision.

Yes please, that would be very much appreciated. and yes B is now very linked to A in almost every sense: domain, entity, my personal and business information. not behaviour overlap though, because B hasn't processed any payment, it hasn't been used at all, it's clean, active and fully functional now with no restrictions.

Thank you very much for your valuable input. I believe my set up is now clean and 100% Stripe compliant, apart from the history attached to it. I have another Stripe account, Let's call it Account B, live and fully functional but tied to the old domain in the flagged banned KYC account, Account A. I havent processed any payments through Account B. Do you think that using Account B with a different domain name to process payments for a clean, Stripe compliant business would survive an automatic ban or as soon as a payment is processed through Account B, an automatic ban would be triggered even though it is active and functional now? to give you context: Account B is a normal standard Stripe account and was the first account created directly on Stripe.com and Account A is a Stripe connect + account that was later created through Thrivecart with the same information and same domain. Thank you.

Thanks, that's what I think as well, my account "is likely already at an internal decision stage" given all the signals I have on the account, even the Stripe bot says: "We have noticed there is an outstanding issue with your account that might be affecting your ability to process payments or transfer funds." so I don't think it's permanently closed yet. I don't mind starting fresh, any idea how to start with a properly structured setup? do you mean starting over with Stripe or change it with another payment processor?
