Dude you need to find a different payment processor now -- even PayPal, even just Sezzle. Just have something up as a fallback option so that Stripe Customer Service (practically nonexistent) doesn't run you out of business.

Back in the day, one of my companies was using Square. They hit us with weird and arbitrary restrictions from outta nowhere; we set up Stripe the same day and moved everything over. Our business kept moving along without a hitch.

Of course! The problem is that many of the other services also use Stripe in the background, such as LemonSqueezy.

In addition, we’re at the best moment for our MRR, with over 200 users paying every month. Obviously, it’s a simple and legitimate business, and we’re trying to get in touch with someone inside Stripe so we don’t lose months of work.

So find one that doesn't use Stripe?

Anything is better than nothing, and odds are you're not going to be able to get this sorted out before you start running into issues with billing.
