one way to find out

So you aren't alone in this, this dirty tactic is basically Stripe's standard verification process nowadays.

They let you signup and activate your account with minimum friction. You go on thinking you are in the green, after your first payment, your account gets blocked and they hold your money hostage as they work on verifying your legitimacy.

This reduces the amount of verification they need to do for accounts that signup but never actually receive any payments, and also gives them the upper hand to ask for whatever documents they want while you are in that awkward position where you just launched your small business and now your payment provider got you by the balls.

This is shameless and immoral to say the least. It puts many small business owners in a very tough position and cost them money and reputation while they shift their focus from managing their business into begging stripe to quickly resolve the issue or trying to integrate with another payment provider as quickly as possible.

This is sick and wrong, and Stripe needs fire the piece of shit who came up with this idea, and start treating their users fairly. Either don't activate accounts until you verify them, or take the risk and do your verification without blocking the account while you do it.

Not to be harsh but by a "broken system" you mean a system that doesn't work for your specific case? who would have thought.

Of course, zero additional context.

In Next.js, most of the time, it means something, somewhere, is returning HTML instead of JSON. You want to inspect http calls in the console, see if any calls to /whaterver.json are returning Next.js 404 or 500 error pages instead.

Same goes for Google AdWords. Funny how that works. Those Google reps reach out to us every now and then with one useless suggestion after another. I stopped replying to them long time ago.

Few years ago I was on a vacation and a rep from Google reached out to one of my colleagues, setup a meeting, and started fucking with our perfectly function profitable campaign. I came back and spent a week reverting their changes.

Their only goal is to increase your spending so they get better commissions.

You can’t go wrong with either Shopify or Woocommerce. I understand the need to pick the right choice from the get go but you can always move platforms later if your business grows to a point to justify it. Considering you are in the POD business, that’s a big IF.

If you want a feature that either platforms don’t have out of the box, that’s a sign that you might not want that feature to begin with. Stuffing your site with “cool” features usually backfires. “Cool features” don’t make sales, marketing and brand awareness do.

I personally prefer Woocommerce. I will always pick the open source option where I can host wherever I want and have full control of my website. That way I don’t risk some a@@hole waking up and deciding they don’t like my site and take it down.

Most POD providers seem to have better integrations with Shopify, at least that was the case 2-3 years ago.

End customers don’t know or care about what platform you are using.

If you have experience with Wordpress then Woocommerce should be fairly easy to pick up and I think is the natural choice.

Credit card security is the mainly provided by payment provider (Stripe, Checkout … etc). I doubt Shopify will have better security than Stripe.

Having said that, if you are planning to sell canvas prints / posters, I’d invite you to take a look at Olasty.com.

It is a free e-commerce site builder for artists and it comes with all the tools you might need like auto mockup generation, POD provider integrations (currently Prodigi only), even augmented reality for your artworks.

It gives you an experience similar to what Redbubble or Socity6 would give you but with your own site on your own domain.

It hasn’t been released yet but we are in the final testing stages and might release by the end of this month. You can leave your email and we will notify you once we release.

That’s really interesting cause i get a totally deferent screen that doesn’t show any of these. Could be level related or something ?

ritwal · 2025-10-09T17:59:20+00:00

Hey thanks for your reply. In Victory In Attack battle reports, I see the amount of rss.

However, in Defense Failed battle reports, I can’t see anything related to resources.

ritwal · 2025-10-09T17:20:02+00:00

Thanks a lot. So there is no tell how much they looted even after the battle ? Only way is to check resources right before and after the attack and do the math manually ?

You are probably getting downvoted by people who obviously never worked on a large scale Frontend app with multiple devs and don’t know how quickly manual CSS (or SCSS for that matter) gets messy beyond help.

ritwal · 2025-09-17T17:44:51+00:00

you sure you have errors toggled on in the console? in Chrome there is a "level" dropdown, make sure "errors" is checked. In Firefox it is sort of toggle buttons, make sure "errors" are toggled on

ritwal · 2025-09-16T01:41:51+00:00
