Stripe payments now available: Credit / Debit Card & Apple Pay / Google Pay

[terabyte]

Starting today Stripe is also available as a payment processor together with PayPal. Two new options are not available:

1. Credit / Debit Card
2. Apple Pay / Google Pay

 

If you notice any issues let me know by opening a new support request in the Sales department. 

Don't reply to this topic since I might need to ask for private information.

Stripe has contacted me that apparently this is a Crowdfunding site, and thus it's illegal to use it as a payment gateway.

I still haven't heard why they think it's a crowdfunding site, though. I tried to appeal 3 times already, but I'm always sent a pre-made reply without any way to talk directly to someone.

 

Unless something changes, I'll be forced to remove Stripe as a payment option at the end of February 2024. It's an absurd situation.

The automatic review process kept failing, but after going back and forth a few more times by email with their support, I'm happy to report that everything was resolved.

 

(At least for now. )

I never knew that strip could be used to do payouts for creators similar to how PayPal works. 
That's exciting. 

But of course Stripe blocks it for some stupid rule they have. "Crowdfunding" ?? UGH

So glad you were able to resolve this! WOOT

They detected the site as crowdfunding because I had the Donations and Gift Cards areas enabled.

 

It made me even more confused since their own site allows creating donation links. The more you know...

Stripe is a good payment gateway, I use them and I find more people prefer to use them over other options such as PayPal. Their quick payment processing is also a nice touch.
