Question

  • What businesses are restricted through Stripe payment processor?

Solution

Stripe restricts some businesses if they fall into certain categories such as:

  • Financial and professional services
  • IP Infringement, regulated or illegal products and services
  • Unfair, predatory, or deceptive practices
  • Products or services that are otherwise restricted by their financial partners

If accepting payments with Stripe isn't an option for your business, we suggest accepting payments with PayPal for payment processing through Thinkific's Built in Checkout. Please click here to see PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy.
