Stripe is threatening to cancel my account because they say I am crowdfunding!?
-
I activated the Donations block/form on my site and connected it to Stripe. A while later I get an email from Stripe saying they are going to cancel my Stripe account because they do not process payments for what they say is “crowdfunding.” Why is this an option to monetize our sites if Stripe is just going to cancel our accounts? I looked at sites like Buy Me A Coffee (essentially crowdfunding) and Ko-fi (essentially crowdfunding as well). And guess what, Stripe processes payments for those sites as well. So, I’m really confused. Can I or can I not ask for monetary support from my fans/followers.?? According to WordPress guides on these topics, I should be able to. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Also, I contacted WP support, and they basically told me I had to deal with Stripe. I appealed Stripe’s decision and am waiting for a reply back. Has anyone else run into this situation?? Thanks again.

As support told you: that decision is completely up to Stripe, https://stripe.com/nl-be/legal. WordPress.com can’t help you in this matter.

@aaldouscinder, I haven’t seen this before. I agree there’s little we can do about their decisions, but if you’re willing to send more context, we’ll make note of it.
