I also edited out something unnecessary.

But maybe Stripe could be pushing back against those limitations or helping to find other solutions. Apple seems to be able to (see Grindr).

Can you please elaborate on this?

[karlshea]

You pay for a Grindr subscription through Apple using IAP. Grindr presumably wouldn’t be allowed to use Stripe given their terms of use.

If one wanted to create something like Grindr but as a website instead of an app, the options for payment are extremely limited.

You can't use Stripe for a dating app?

[karlshea]

"sexually oriented dating services" are prohibited from using Stripe: https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses

[edwinwee]

You can. Many dating apps use Stripe.

Or maybe people could push back against normalizing support for these types of businesses. Many don't agree that this should be supported, and think Stripe is correct here.
