Ask HN: Can Stripe Be Used for Crowdfunding Sites? Amazon Banned Me for Asking

5 pointsby wikiburneralmost 12 years ago
I&#x27;m working on a crowdfunding site (similar to Kickstarter and Indiegogo, but with a different model) and I&#x27;m wondering if Stripe&#x27;s terms of service would allow it&#x27;s use for crowdfunding?<p>The reason I&#x27;m a bit reluctant to just ask their customer support is that I was just &quot;permanently banned&quot; from Amazon Payments for simply asking their customer support if it was an acceptable usage.<p>Also, any other options out there? Last I heard Paypal doesn&#x27;t allow donations or payments for a product or service that does not yet exist.

Yes it can, see <a href="https://stripe.com/docs/connect" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stripe.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;connect</a><p>Amazon Payments can also be used which is what Kickstarter uses so I&#x27;m surprised you were banned just for asking. How exactly did you ask?

I think re:banning - you&#x27;re not telling the whole story.
