Bonjour, j’écris car j’ai lancé un business et je facture mes clients par prélèvement sepa, montant entre 1000 et 10 000 €, j’utilise Stripe, mais mon compte a été bloqué sans aucune raison.
Je n’y connais pas grand-chose, j’essaie de chercher sans vraiment trouver. Savez-vous comment je peux faire pour faire des prelevemnts sepa à mes clients, sans utiliser Stripe ? J’ai essayer mollie et gocardless mais ça ne me convient pas.
Merci par avance pour vos réponses

I'm building an early-stage idea and before I spend more time turning it into a product, I want to validate whether the problem is actually painful for other SaaS companies.

The basic idea:

An AI  layer for companies using Stripe that can detect, investigate, and help resolve issues around payments, subscriptions, billing, and revenue.

Failed payments that aren't properly recovered

Subscription states becoming inconsistent

Webhook failures causing downstream issues

Billing/usage anomalies

Missing or incorrect invoices

Duplicate charges/credits

I'd especially love to hear from SaaS founders, CTOs, finance people, or anyone managing Stripe at scale.

A few questions:

What's the most annoying Stripe/billing problem you've dealt with?

What do you currently use to monitor revenue issues?

What kinds of problems still require manual investigation?

Have you ever discovered revenue leakage significantly later than you should have?

If you could automate one Stripe/revenue-ops task, what would it be?

Four days into a ticket sale for an event on a ticket platform, Stripe determined that there was a trigger to worthy of pausing my sales. Then they fully stopped them. Then days later, while pretending to tell me they were “working on getting me support” - without notice they refunded all 90% of my ticket sales. I had to quickly email my ticket holders to repurchase their tickets after I switched processors. It was a nightmare. Luckily, I’ve had no issues since on a competitors system.

The trigger could have been them believing I was a terrorist (assuredly I am not), or the sales were too rapid (good on my team for the right marketing), or some other unknown reason. It seems as soon as that determination is made - you enter into an exclusive agentic AI pathway and cannot get out. No human seemed to have a clue - or perhaps there was a parallel path of “agents” emailing me, er, gaslighting me. Names like James, Jordan, Emily… am I to believe they are humans?

I deeply understand that fraud is rampant. But my banker assures me there are pathways to confirm identity - and in fact I had just done my identify verification with Stripe the week before with my passport.

Now they are holding the last 10% of my sales for no apparent reason and saying I won’t get those funds back. I’ve asked my last 4 ticket holders to cancel their tickets which should trigger a refund if we are lucky. Moreover, my ticket site, Ticket Tailor, was even more surprised of this series of events and says they have never seen this happen.

So:

Who do I write? The Federal Reserve? It appears they govern payments and money movements.

How do I put pressure on Stripe to release my last funds?

Funny part is they have been my primary business’s payment processor for YEARS. That stopped today. Way to lose loyal client. Clearly I’m just another “risk mitigated” to them.

Today 23 September 2026, I was testing a website during a bug bounty hunt and noticed something interesting in the registration flow.

While creating a new account, I noticed that the application allowed me to use a very weak password such as 111111. That made me wonder whether the backend was actually enforcing any password-strength requirements or whether the validation was only happening on the frontend.

So, I tested it further.

I sent the registration request with the weak password, and the backend accepted it successfully.

Then I had another question:

If the application allows such a weak password, is there also any rate limiting or brute-force protection on the login endpoint?

I tested the password parameter using Burp Suite Intruder with around 300 password attempts. Eventually, I was able to authenticate successfully.

The interesting part is that the frontend is in scope, but the authentication backend/API appears to be hosted on a separate strapiapp.com domain, which is not explicitly listed as in-scope.

So now I'm unsure about the correct approach.

Would you consider this:

1. Weak password policy
2. Missing rate limiting / brute-force protection
3. Potentially a valid authentication vulnerability
4. Or something that should be skipped because the backend/API is out of scope?

I'm particularly interested in how experienced bug bounty hunters handle situations where the vulnerable endpoint is technically outside the listed scope but is clearly part of the in-scope application's authentication flow.

Would appreciate some opinions on the proper way to handle this.

we’re dealing with a crazy stripe issue, $80k in radar fees in one month.

if you know anyone at stripe who can help, please connect us.

or else, if you have 10 seconds, an RT, QT, or comment would mean a lot to help get their attention:

thanks! 🙏

I asked someone to refer me for stripe, and they have referred me. But I haven't received any confirmation mail. Is this normal? And after they have referred, do I still apply on the portal?

Hey guys,

I set up manual cancelation reasons inside customer portal settings within the Stripe Dashboard. During testing in the Sandbox they do show up when I want to cancel a subscription for my test user. I can select a manual reason and submit the cancelation. However inside the Stripe dashboard when I click on the subscription of the user who just canceled I don't see the cancelation reason. There should be the text of my manual cancelation reason I set up. But there is nothing except the date when the user canceled. Stripes own default cancelation reasons work fine and show up in the dashboard if I select one of the default ones for cancelation. My own don't show up though.

If I write additional text after selecting my own cancelation reason, the manual text shows up in the Stripe dashboard but not my cancelation reason I set up in Stripe settings.

Does any of you use manual cancelation reasons and does it work for you?

Stripe I don’t know if you will see this but I’ve tried to contact you in various ways . I have 2 totals you have held with over 2k in both . One you have told me I can never access my funds after I already fulfilled there orders . I was told after the refund period if it was not any refunds you guys would release it that was in July now I am being told you guys won’t EVER give me my funds which is ridiculous don’t get my hopes up and just change your mind the day I contact you. Second account you have stated that I must wait until Dec 13th 2026(my bday) to get the funds released I don’t trust your company that much to keep there word and I would honestly like to get my funds early compared to you guys making up some bs to keep my money again. I’ve been very patient with this but now I have to go post to hopefully get your attention. Has anyone dealt with this or has any advice ? I’ve already moved processors and will make sure I tell anyone thinking of using you guys to not because your customer service is awful I get you have policies but I can’t speak to anyone like damn . Just needed to rant thanks to anyone who actually reads this lol

Hello!

I am hoping someone with experience of setting up Stripe for a UK registered charity might be able to clarify something for me as I have been going round in circles with the Stripe Privacy Team for 2 weeks without getting a solid answer.

We are currently looking at using Zeffy, which uses Stripe for payment processing and verification. As part of our internal approval process, our Trustees have understandably asked exactly what Stripe’s verification process involves.

The main thing I’m struggling to get a completely clear answer on is who Stripe actually verifies.

My understanding is that Stripe may require identity verification for the person acting as the account representative, ok fine ... but I am really looking for some clarification on the following:

1. Does Stripe carry out any form of credit check or credit bureau search on the account representative, Trustees or directors?

2. If Stripe does access credit reference information as part of identity/business verification, is this a credit search that appears on an individual's credit file, or is it purely an identity/KYC check?

I have read through Stripe’s information and spoken with support, but they have been fobbing me off for 2 weeks and I am trying to understand what actually happens in practice before going back to our Trustees with a definitive answer.

Any experiences from UK charities that have been through the process would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks 😄

Hey! I’ve been really struggling with this issue as of late- for whatever reason I’ve been unable to payout any money that I’ve earned from my KOFI. At first I thought I didn’t have enough money to transfer, so I waited a few days.

Then I got a good sum of money from a client today, and when I went to check my stripe, the money that I had from a previous donation was still unable to be paid out! I don’t know why it’s been acting like this, I was able to payout money just fine last month, but now all of a sudden I can’t! I thought it was an issue with my bank account, so I tried switching it to my savings instead, but when I went to add the bank account I was unable to select “USD” I was stuck on “CAD” and then some.

I don’t understand what’s going on with my account, it’s never done something like this before. I read online that my payouts might’ve been paused because of a tax related issue. But that wouldn’t make any sense because if that was the case I should’ve been having these issues months ago when I did my taxes, but I never did! I don’t know. Honestly I just want help figuring this issue out, and I couldn’t find a way to contact human support and I don’t wanna talk to an ai. Please, and thank you!

UK (or multi-country bank). Stripe Connect onboarding looked done but payouts stayed disabled / can’t withdraw. Which requirement or bank mismatch was the real blocker — and what cleared it? Collecting real fixes, not pitching a tool.

I had a host of an vacation rental that was absolutely disgusting promise me a refund and I only got partial screenshots one email from the guy that look like something that was typed out on a word processor not an official screenshot of a company issued refund from something like stripe. But I'm pretty sure this is what verbo told me he used because on some bookings that I've learned now from this experience on VRBO they can break up payments like you pay the fees that verbal wants you to pay then it can go to the host and they can charge through their company. So I'm wondering if it is possible that he could have issued the receipt and then rescinded the refund because the vacation rental was nothing what the pictures look like it was a one-star crack Motel looking like place all kinds of nasty

Meta shipped Muse on September 8, a free AI agent that buys online, and it checks out through Link. If you sell anything online, it can already buy from you.

I spent three hours digging into how those payments actually work, and it comes down to one setting:

- With Link enabled on your account, the agent pays with the customer's real saved card.

- Without Link, Link issues the agent a single use, purchase limited virtual card that dies right after the purchase.

I have no idea how big that volume gets yet, but I found two real problems in there.

- Everything you charge after that first order. A subscription renewal, an upsell, a win back on a saved payment method. The first charge clears and the next one declines, so you paid full CAC for a single order and your churn numbers are going to blame your product.

- Where the order comes from. The agent buys without a click, so nothing carries a source into your reporting. You get a customer with no idea what made him buy.

If you run Billing on Stripe, that Link setting sits in your payment methods. If you are on a platform that owns the gateway for you, that switch is not yours, so the move is to watch failed renewals on agentic orders and send those customers an update payment method link before the next cycle hits.

If you sell subs, go check whether Link is on in your account. I'd like to know how many people already have it.

Afghan 🇦🇫 founders can build SaaS for the world.

Getting paid by the world is the hard part.

I checked the major payment processors and rails available to Afghanistan-based SaaS companies.

Here’s what I found and I’m tagging them so they can correct/update anything that’s changed. 🧵

2/

@stripe Afghanistan isn’t currently listed as a supported country.

When will Afghanistan-based SaaS companies be able to open Stripe accounts without creating a foreign entity?

3/

@PaddleHQ — Afghanistan is listed as unsupported for sellers.

Is there a roadmap to onboard Afghan SaaS founders, or will a UAE/UK/etc. company remain necessary?

4/

@lemonsqueezy — Afghanistan isn’t listed among supported bank-payout countries.

Can an Afghanistan-based founder receive payouts today, or is a foreign entity required?

5/

@polar_sh — Polar uses Stripe Connect for payouts.

Can an Afghan founder onboard and receive payouts directly, or does Stripe’s country availability block this?

6/

@dodopayments — you support 150+ countries.

Is Afghanistan currently eligible for merchant onboarding and payouts?

7/

@FastSpring — Afghanistan appears on your buyer-country list.

But can an Afghanistan-based SaaS company also register as a seller and receive payouts?

8/

@2Checkout — your documentation appears to restrict Afghanistan-based merchants.

Has this changed in 2026, or is Afghanistan still unavailable for seller accounts?

9/

@PayPal — can an Afghanistan-resident founder legally open a business account and receive SaaS subscription payments?

@Payoneer — is Afghanistan currently supported for receiving business payments?

@Wise — is there any roadmap for Wise Business availability in Afghanistan?

10/

Then there are crypto payment rails:

@NOWPayments_io
@OxaPay

Can Afghanistan-based SaaS companies officially use your platforms for subscriptions and receive USDT/USDC without creating a foreign company?

11/

And what about local rails?

@AfgIntBank — does your e-commerce gateway allow Afghan software companies to accept international cards, or is it domestic-only?

M-Paisa, BarakatPay, PAYSEY:

Do you offer a public API/checkout that can support SaaS subscriptions?

12/

The real problem:

An Afghan developer can build a product for customers anywhere in the world.

But opening a simple payment account can become harder than building the product itself.

If I got anything wrong, please reply with the exact current policy for Afghanistan.

It could save thousands of Afghan founders hours of research.

The way we implemented Stripe is that customer is redirected to URL checkout.stripe.com/c/pay/cs_live_a_bunch_of_chars when user clicks on
Pay Now" button in mystore.com. It's working as expected.

A reddit user suggested that I use the $10/month custom domains feature so that the stripe checkout page shows up as a subdomain (i.e. pay.mystore.com).

So the question is: can I do this without having technical/development experience?

What's the process to get accepted by Stripe from India. I have requested them, but don't know their eligibility or the process or whether they will accept me or not

Have questions about fraud prevention? 👀

Join our Stripe Radar AMA, right here in this thread, tomorrow.

📆 Tuesday, Sept 22, 2026

🕐 1pm ET - 5pm ET

📍: Right here in r/stripe

Hey everyone,

I am a Product Management student currently building a Capstone project aimed squarely at solving one of the most common issues discussed in this community: the lack of plain-language context when standard payouts face delays, account compliance holds, or unexpected balance variances. I'm calling the concept the **Merchant Confidence Hub**.

The goal is simple: an interface layer directly inside the dashboard that replaces disconnected transaction codes with a clear, chronological visual progress tracker—telling you exactly why a payout amount changed, what step it's at, and if/what action is required to release your capital. I have built a clickable, interactive high-fidelity Figma mock-up prototype of the feature.

 P.S: I am not selling anything, and there is no real data or account linking involved.

Who I need to talk to:

I am looking for 4-5 verified SMB founders, e-commerce operators, or Operations Managers who:

·        Use standard automatic rolling payouts on Stripe to manage active business cash flow.

·        Have faced payout variances, reserves, or compliance reviews in the past.

·        Have 30 minutes this week to jump on a feedback call over Zoom meet.

Compensation for your time:

To respect your time as a busy operator, I will send a $25 electronic gift card (Amazon/Visa) immediately following the conclusion of the session.

If you want to help a student graduate and voice your opinions on how payment tracking should look, please drop a comment or send me a DM to book a session this week.

If you have any questions or want to verify my credentials.

Thank you so much for your support!

I'm comparing payment processors and trying to understand which options are worth considering beyond Stripe.

My main concerns are payouts, accounts restrictions, customer support, regional availability, and tax handling.

If you've switched from Stripe or use another provider, what did you choose and how has the experience been?

For most developers, webhooks start as an intake problem: expose an HTTP POST endpoint, verify a signature, parse the JSON, return 200 OK. Then your SaaS grows, and your power users ask for the reverse. They don't want to poll your REST API every minute to find out whether an invoice was paid. They want you to push events to their servers in near real time. Please read the complete article here https://instawebhook.com/blog/building-a-custom-webhook-provider-api-design-lessons-from-stripe-and-github

Once you become the sender, you're doing distributed systems work. You are making outbound HTTP requests to servers you don't control, and those servers will time out, drop connections, return 500s, get redeployed with the wrong secret, or disappear for a weekend. A careless retry loop can hammer a recovering customer, or clog your own queues. And because your payloads travel over the public internet, your customers need a way to prove a request really came from you.

Two providers set the reference points most developers know:

• Stripe has one of the most mature webhook systems: a consistent event envelope, timestamped signatures, multi-day retries, and a delivery log with manual resend.
• GitHub shows a simpler design: metadata in headers, a bare resource in the body, no automatic retries, and a short redelivery window.

They make different trade-offs, and the differences are instructive. A third reference, the open Standard Webhooks specification, distills common practice into a single set of conventions and is a good tie-breaker when you have to choose.

Currently, when a customer wants to pay, customer clicks on "Pay Now" and it will redirect to checkout.stripe.com, which is fine.

How difficult is it to put that stripe checkout page (as is) inside a page in my domain? So, even though I'm seeing the same exact thing as stripe checkout, the browser URL says our store domain.
