No reason usually, all of my shopify accounts did this. It seriously sucks. But once they remove the reserve and hold its pretty much bullet proof. You can always use a 3rd party merchant, just make sure you aren't using a scam merchant.

Airwallex does not onboard anyone for the merchant, the accounts are there for sale on Hong Kong companies for a thousand and some change.

In your case, you would then need to use a completely different IP and Anti-detect browser; or just a new browser in general since a fingerprint was leaked in which they could track your previous account from.
This has happened to me before too with Airwallex. They don't make it really clear that you're basically opening a bank account to start... then you have to apply for the merchant lol. But yeah you wont be able to use Shopify payments anymore odds are. Atleast this was the case for me once they linked me via previous shopify profiles (like your scenario). They are linking you via your identity, (social security address business docs etc, not Ip or device) Either way, having all your eggs in one basket is a huge risk which I also had to learn the hard way :/. Aslong as you aren't selling anything considered "high risk" getting a payment processor shouldn't be too hard. I recommend applying for a few at once. ZenPayments approve quick, not sure if they accept EU etc though. Good luck with everything and the rent man. Hope things get better. I am now getting out of the slump shopify had me in last month lol...
Ive heard of them. But do they work internationally? Seems Revolut payment prcoessor is the only one that fits my needs atm
I appreciate the advice. My aunt is a saint and letting me use her LLC to open a new shopify account. Any guidance on how to not get linked again would be greatly appreciated
I just heard from Airwallex that they don't allow US merchants to sell to Europe... So all in all probs no worth it anyways.
Can you advise me on this? My aunt is letting me make an account under her name but buying this stuff would be simpler i think?
I am hearing that its possible to buy peoples shopify accounts with Shipify payments active etc. You know about this?
This will work, but still it wont be a bullet proof solution and you can still one day wake up with an email from shopify stating they are holding your funds etc again.
I personally got terminated from hosting on Shopify before & have been using the method you mentioned. It does work, but it's also temporary. Also keep in mind if you are planning to pay taxes to the government, you will need your actual info (social security etc) to be connected to the payment gateway/process. So best to use a 3rd party gateway processor unless you plan on evading taxes. Also keep in mind using your aunt will be fine, but she will be legally responsible for the taxes then.
Do you reccomend I use a third party gateway/processor? Do you reccomend any that could work for USA and EU/UK? I am debating whether to just get a 3rd party processor or just make a new shopify account with my aunts LLC. Shes aware of the tax stuff.
I do recommend it for peace of mind.
Here your options:
#1 Purchase a profile with active payments already - The payments will get shut down after like 10-20k again.
#2 Set up a new payments profile with your aunt - This will work, likely longer, but not guaranteed as Shopify has tightened their Stripe merchant account extremely over the past 2 months.
#3 Pick a 3rd party processor and start building history with them.
If I were in your scenario, I would simply download my theme from current store & products, upload to new shopify, set up with your aunt LLC. & Boom you are back up and running (For now)
Then I'd still go out and get 2-3 payment processors set up, so when shopify finds out. You could simply connect your 3rd party payment processor and boom you're back up within minutes.
I'm not too sure who will do EU/UK aswell. But I have done Paykings, Easy Pay direct & high risk payments. Try those and see what they say.
Good luck
Hey I actually just got approved to use airwallex!
Do you think its safe to run dupes/reps with airwallex?
is it worth cloaking the processor etc?
I am kind of new this area.
I hear airwallex is a lot more relaxed towards merchants than Shopify Payments etc.
Any advice is appreciated.

hey bro, i have vcc service and plan to offer charge back control service (mixing % by making own transactions to merchant) to stripe and shopify pauments store owners. What do you think about service like this? would anyone to pay for service like this?
That sounds interesting tbh but sounds very hard to pull off. How to you go about do this? Would it work for Airwallex?

it would work with any payment processor. We just create unique cards, and use antidetect + proxy to proceed each payment
yeah but how much would you charge? and would I need to refund you of what you pay to my site etc?

I think about 30-80 cents per transaction, depends on volume. it works lite this: client transfers money and tells me tx count and volume he needs, i issue new cards and start paying using my antidection infrastructure, after all payments done you recieve money from your payment procesor (excluding their comission). Did I explain well and you understood the flow?
