I keep seeing more and more about Stripe closing accounts and general weirdness, but this is just bizarre and lacks any reason.<p>I&#x27;ve been working on a luxury apple watch strap&#x2F;band brand and figured I&#x27;d go with Shopify &amp; Shopify Payments (which is just connecting a Stripe account basically) for ease&#x2F;speed.<p>Well as we were about to go live yesterday, I had a message flash up in my dashboard that Stripe was on hold and I couldn&#x27;t accept payments (and if I had, they would be held) - previously it was showing as all was OK.<p>Got a response today and I&#x27;m being told that &quot;my product base presents a level of risk that our banking partners are not willing to support&quot; ... WTF?<p>Since when are watch straps high risk? I queried this and was basically told tough luck, nothing we can do.<p>It&#x27;s becoming increasingly clear that you can&#x27;t rely on Stripe - there is just no rhyme or reason to their actions. This is a crying shame as the product is awesome, but really seems like they&#x27;re turning in to PayPal...
Stripe/Shopify Payments telling me we can't sell Apple Watch straps WTF
