23RD UPDATE: NOTICE OF IRREVOCABLE FIDUCIARY BREACH — STRIPE DETENTION OF BANK TRANSFER EXCEEDS 3 MONTHS. TOTAL GHOSTING OF LEGAL COUNSEL , ME & MERCHANT TICKETS.
Stripe’s responses to these updates are a public admission of negligence. By continuing to post generic, automated scripts while ignoring formal legal inquiries and 3 months of tickets, Stripe has proven beyond a doubt that they DO NOT READ, DO NOT AUDIT, and DO NOT RESOLVE critical financial failures. You are publicly demonstrating a total lack of human oversight—a direct and severe violation of the FCA’s Consumer Duty.THE AUDACITY OF THE BOT-LOOP (ESTABLISHED NOV 22):Since November 22nd, the Merchant, my legal counsel, and I have filed weekly tickets. The result? Zero human contact. This is no longer a "technical delay"—it is Strategic Obstruction. You are hiding behind a "Bot-Loop" to intentionally avoid remitting cleared, bank-settled capital. THE AUDACITY IS FINISHED.THE GLOBAL PR SIEGE (MOBILIZING 5 MILLION+ FOLLOWERS):Let there be no confusion: I AM NOT GOING AWAY. * DAILY SOCIAL MEDIA EXPOSÉ: My video series documenting "Stripe’s Black-Box Liquidity Hijacking" is now a permanent, daily fixture on my platforms. Every hour my funds are withheld, another broadcast goes out to my 5 Million+ followers. * TRUSTPILOT TOTAL WAR: I will update this review EVERY 24 HOURS. I will open a new support ticket EVERY SINGLE DAY. I will keep this case at the top of every review platform until a human being with fiduciary authority intervenes.FOLLOWER MOBILIZATION: My global network is now actively documenting and sharing Stripe’s "Bad Faith" conduct. Your corporate reputation is being dismantled in real-time.LEGAL & REGULATORY ULTIMATUM:UNLAWFUL CONVERSION: This was a cleared bank transfer. There is zero chargeback risk. Holding these funds for 3 months is the unlawful conversion of business assets.ON-SITE ENFORCEMENT: If the funds are not confirmed TODAY, my Legal Counsel and a Professional Camera Crew will arrive at your corporate headquarters to Serve the High Court Claim live on camera.FCA DOSSIER: This entire documented history of "Bot-Loop" deception is being submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority as proof of systemic regulatory fraud.THE FINAL REMEDY:Cease the automated gaslighting. The "security review" pretext is legally dead.MANUAL OVERRIDE: Release the FULL bank transfer to the Merchant’s account IMMEDIATELY.IRREVOCABLE PROOF: Deliver the MT103 / SWIFT confirmation to the Merchant and my legal team NOW.I AM YOUR PERMANENT REPUTATIONAL NIGHTMARE. Every day you ignore this, the brand damage compounds. RELEASE THE CAPITAL TO THE MERCHANT BANK ACCOUNT NOW.

The worst service
The worst service, these guys are thieves, they will keep your money without any proper explanations, and the process of speaking with someone takes ages. It's been more than a year since i have been waiting on them to release funds provided all the relevant documents, they dont even respond

Horrible customer service — There is very little customer support
There is very little customer support. Our organization is trying/has tried to terminate our relationship and is having no luck. They are showing credit card payments that have not been authorized by our members.

Greedy company, sides with fraud
They are everywhere so they can be hard to avoid, but be careful. If the company they are charging you for is legit, you may have no problems. However if the company is sketchy, and say charging you for services or subscriptions you did not ask for, Stripe will keep charging you, offering only long winded blah-blah fluff explanations about how they will look into it and start a review. While you wait for months they will continue to charge you on behalf of whatever fraudulent company you unfortunately got involved with. In the end they operate on the principle of greed, and side with the ones giving them money.

They hold your funds for no clear…
They hold your funds for no clear reason, especially during Q4. Their system can suddenly shut down your store, and you’re left with no proper explanation.They tell you that you’ll be refunded within 3 months, then after 3 months they delay again saying “next month” over and over. It feels like endless postponement.Even if your business model is fully compliant, transparent, and you ship real products with tracking, you can still face sudden holds.Extremely stressful experience for any business owner. I would strongly advise merchants to be cautious and always have a backup payment processor.

I received a response only after leaving a review, but my issue is still not resolved. I was told to contact support and provide the required details, but whenever I open a case, it gets closed automatically within 10 minutes without any conversation or assistance.

People hate on Stripe because they break the rules. It is super easy to stay safe, just fallow the rules, there is tons of info online, and even audit tools. If you are compliant - you are safe.

WARNING ⚠️ I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ⚠️
WARNING ⚠️ I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ⚠️I would never recommend Stripe. I am a small business and was told that they did a random audit and deemed my business high risk. So They put a hold on my account and held ALL funds for 120 days as a precaution. (Thousands of dollars) I have never had a dispute or charge back so I see this as being totally unnecessary and unacceptable. I find their fees to be the highest in the industry also.I would never recommend this company, as I still haven't received money..

This has been an extremely poor…
This has been an extremely poor customer support experience, paired with a confusing and frustrating user interface that does not help merchants resolve issues efficiently. As a merchant, there is no clear path to identify where to raise concerns or how to get the required request or ticket ID.There is no accessible email channel, and the AI support flow explicitly states that complex issues cannot be handled, yet there is no alternative escalation route to a human agent. It effectively leaves merchants to troubleshoot alone.My business is already registered, but when it comes to integration, there is no structured technical support, no clear documentation, and no practical guidance for either minor issues or more complex implementation challenges. Although integration with Lovable is mentioned, there is no end to end process that explains how it should be done properly.To make matters worse, submitting a support request through the form repeatedly results in a system error. Then, when trying to seek help through Discord, the team asks for a request ID, but there is no clear place to find or retrieve that request ID in the first place.Overall, they urgently need a serious revamp of their customer experience, support pathways, and technical onboarding journey.

Warning: Accuses You For Their Mistakes After Signing Up
Less than 24 hours after signing up, I received multiple emails (the first accusing me of "agreement violation") about not having content/using the word "donation" instead of "tip" (the email does not even tell you what you violated).This is despite Stripe partnering up with a company that allows you to connect with them as a payment platform, but doesn't ensure that that company requires you to provide the information Stripe needs. After ensuring all the information they asked for was correctly filled out, I completed the first form, only to receive a second notice email in less than 2 hours.I was shocked to see Stripe as a company demonstrating this falsely accusatory behavior. I have heard bad things about them in the past, and now I know why.2/5.

Scam
The interface to cancel a subscription is completely unfriendly. It keeps trying to charge my card even after I cancelled the subscription.

Despite adult businesses being against…
Despite adult businesses being against its TOS, Stripe provides payment processing to Throne.com - a wishlist portal for creators.However, the vast majority of Throne users are adult fetish service providers and content creators - taking payment in exchange for fetish interactions and content.Stripe turn a blind eye to this behaviour despite giving governments around the world assurances that Stripe will not be used for such businesses

Well rating here shows support is not good is it? So do something about it or you want to say it is our fault sorry you pathetic, i wrote you again let's see or you going to fix it because fancy words here (pre made answers mostly) but helping NO NO NEVER solving an issue caused by YOU STRIPE, NO NO either.... get your stuff correctly with a rating of 1.8 says enough that you just do not care at all FIX THE PROBLEM email 8 have been send, will i get a descent response or a premade one where the guy can not even take the time to write his name with a CAPITAL LETTER so much they care... next step is you solve it, because i make multiple next steps but you not doing anything at all! so bogus things stating and not doing anything to get my business back on track causing problems for no reason upset people, stress out people great job STRIPE , terrible behavior, just another to big company that does not care and can not be transparent and that you can not trust EVER, oh and you not sorry at all you do NOT CARE ANYTHING but your own PAY CHECK! ANOTHER UPDATE! WROTE YOU NOW 2 TIMES AS YOU TOLD ME TO DO and NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER OR SOLUTION IS THAT HOW YOU DO TO YOUR MEMBERS?

Money is gone
I transferred 50€ of my total credit to check if it was legit or not, before trying to transfer a larger amount, it never arrived.I contacted costumer service and they told me they'd have a look and then contact me to tell me what happened, even took my contact info, never received any news.And on top of everything, they take a pretty high comission from every payment you receive, never again.I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

After several failed payment attempts
After several failed payment attempts, Stripe no longer allows retrying the charge with the same card. I’m forced to create a new payment method — even if it’s the same card. This is so frustrating that I honestly wish the people who built this payment flow had to go through the same experience themselves every time they tried to pay for something.
