What an absolute hell scape of a site. There were 4 video ads playing over each other at one point.

It probably has to do with the boiling point of pine resin. There are probably other less noxious substances that boil in the 300c range that would produce similar results without the risk of fire or poisoning.

I’m not convinced about the inclusiveness claims made here, can you offer more proof?

Taco Bell here gets orders wrong about 95% of the time. How is anyone still giving them money?

I’m sure the flake/snow/water euphamisms are very clever but any ideas what this actually is or does?

Next up: ad-Blocking is old and gross and hard to maintain so we removed it, oh by the way totally unrelated here is Pocket(tm).. err Anoym(tm)!

Mozilla has become a bunch of ad supported grifters. Time to fund a real replacement.

I stopped donating when they declared ‘rss is too complex to be maintained and is also old and gross and stuff, so we removed it’. Oh by the way totally unrelated here is Pocket(tm)!

Nope.

Sort setup, short teardown, same as PayPal

Stripe is a minimal to no vetting payment processor. A real merchant account will require contracts and pre-vetting that includes a review of your payment processing history and suitability to the rules of the card networks in question.

I’m sure we could spot what the high risk behavior in question is with your business if you provide us with the url.

But truth is, stripe decides who they want to be in business with. They have decided they don’t want to be in business with you. Tough, but they also aren’t placing you on the MATCH list or other common nightmare senerios many non-compliant businesses find themselves in when dealing with violations of payment processing guidelines.

My advice is to cut your losses with stripe and get a real merchant account.

The pre-vetting process will likely be quite clear with you about what and why your business is considered too high a risk, or you’ll end up with a less frangible business relationship you can depend on to not rug pull you in the future.
