1.How can I reduce the risk of my Stripe account being suspended or flagged as high-risk?
2.What are the key indicators Stripe looks for when evaluating accounts, especially for dropshipping businesses?
3.What are the best ways to open a Stripe account in unsupported countries?
4.Which countries offer the easiest conditions for opening a Stripe account, and how can I leverage them?
5.How can I safely manage a Stripe account if using proxies or VPNs, and what are the potential pitfalls?
1. The BEST way is to sell products that are accepted on stripe. Of course this will be low risk products and you can see the list of these products on stripe.
2. (a) They look at the niche/industry (is it allowed or not)?
(b) They look at your delivery time frame.
(c) They look at your disputes/chargeback rate.
3. (a) Register your business in the UK as an LTD and use that to open a UK stripe account.
(b) Register your business in the USA as an LLC and use that to open a USA stripe account.
4. You can checkout the list of countries that stripe supports on their website. All of them offer the same conditions.
5. The potential pitfall is that you will eventually be caught and your account will be banned.
What causes an account to be be flagged and how would you suggest to warm up a new account to stay under the radar?
1. Selling restricted products that stripe do not support.
2. Having huge disputes/chargeback rate.
To Warm Up : Start slow. Start accepting low orders in volume.
If we use a stripe stealth account and then it get banned, does stripe also bans our websites? or we can use another stripe on that site?
Why do you use multiple accounts? why not use high-risk processors gateway that also offer stripe and other options?
1. Stripe will not ban your website BUT it is recognized that you use a new website just to stay safe.
Thank you very much for this initiative. I want to start working in e-commerce with the dropshipping system. I live in Morocco Africa. Please direct me to create an LLC with whom I will pay and electronic banks like mercury wise. What are the things that I should avoid? Should I use a VPN or a proxy so that I am not exposed to closure or ban from the beginning? I have not started. The field that I want to jump into is dropshipping.
1. VPN/Proxies are not recommended.
2. You can use platforms like; incauthority or legalzoom to open your LLC. (You can learn how to do it by yourself or hire someone to do it for you).
- Stripe for high-risk industries?
- Need some real talk about account setups?
- Wondering about LLC strategies?
- Need tips on what works (and what doesn't)?
Would be nice to know the answers to these questios.
This is a temporary solution that will not last unless you sell products that stripe supports.
