Ask HN: How do you appeal a Stripe decision not to open an account?

1 pointsby mnehringover 4 years ago
I&#x27;m in a bit of a tricky spot. I&#x27;m a developer, and one aspect of my software is a web-store add-on. (So, I don&#x27;t run a web store, but my software is used in my clients&#x27; web stores.) Anyhow, I integrated with Stripe because it&#x27;s an easy and beautiful integration, and I personally bill my clients using Stripe, so I was already comfortable with it. Anyhow, my soon-to-be client attempts to sign up with Stripe, and they promptly decline to activate their account. They follow up with an email, and they very promptly get back a &quot;this decision is final&quot; message. (&quot;Thank you for reaching out about this. Unfortunately, we still won&#x27;t be able to accept payments for [redacted] moving forward.&quot;)<p>Anyhow, I&#x27;m 99.99% confident that their decision was made in error. The organization is a local franchise of a well-known nationwide non-profit organization, and is about as non-risky as they come. However, while Stripe has a lot in its favor, talking to humans doesn&#x27;t seem to be a point in its favor. So, after that long introduction, here&#x27;s the question:<p>Is there a secret path to get to a higher up at Stripe to get a real human to manually review a decision that was almost certainly made in error? I know lots of you have worked with Stripe, so perhaps some of you have found this path.

Real human here. Could you forward that email to me at edwin@stripe.com and we can take another look?

A better question is why would you want too?<p>If Stripe won&#x27;t take your clients money plenty of other places will.
