Business Categories Not Suitable for Stripe

Stripe strictly enforces business compliance with platform rules. Some niches are considered high-risk and require a special approach to verification, activity description and processing.

High-risk categories

• Forex, binary options, trading
• Online casino and betting
• Vape and e-cigarettes
• Supplements, sports nutrition, nootropics
• Adult content
• Cryptocurrency services (with restrictions)

This doesn't mean payment acceptance is impossible — but standard self-registration often ends in account suspension.

Why accounts get blocked

• MCC code doesn't match actual business activity
• Sudden volume spike without transaction history
• High chargeback and dispute rate
• No transparent refund policy on the website
• Incorrect legal entity or bank account

What's needed for stable operation

1. Correct legal entity in a suitable jurisdiction
2. Compliant website — terms, privacy policy, refund policy
3. Warmed account with gradual volume growth
4. Transaction monitoring via CRM
5. Backup account via Payment routing
