Free risk read

Talk to us before your processor decides for you.

Stripe, Shopify and Square review accounts automatically, and they rarely warn you first. In 15 minutes we'll show you which numbers they're watching, how close you are to a review, and what to do before one happens. It's free, and we won't ask you to switch.

Who this is for

For growing businesses the platforms call high risk

You're processing $100K to $1M a month on Stripe, Shopify Payments, Square or PayPal, and nothing has gone wrong yet. But you sell in a category they flag (supplements, wellness, subscriptions, coaching, info products, telehealth, lead gen), or you're growing faster than their systems like. You'd rather find out where you stand now than from a notice later.

The six numbers

What they're actually looking at

These reviews are automated. The systems behind them track a short list of numbers, and you can check most of them yourself today.

Your dispute ratioVisa's monitoring program counts disputes plus fraud reports against your settled transactions. The excessive line is 1.5% as of April 2026, and the platforms act well before that.
Your refund ratioRefunds above roughly 10% of sales signal customers who didn't get what they paid for.
Sudden volumeA month that doubles the one before gets a review even with clean numbers. Stripe lists an unexplained sharp rise in volume as a reason for a reserve.
Delivery timePreorders, backorders and long shipping windows make "item not received" disputes more likely.
What you sell and howFree trials that convert to subscriptions, continuity billing, and products with health claims all fall into categories the platforms treat as high risk.
Your historyA past closure on any processor shows up when you apply for the next one.
What you get

What the risk read gives you

A 15 minute call, followed by a written summary you keep. It covers where you stand on each of the six numbers, what's most likely to get you flagged in the next 90 days, what to fix first, and which processors would take your business as it is today. There's no sales pitch on the call.

The one thing we'll recommend

Open a second processor before you need one. Keep your current processor. Add a second account with a bank that underwrites your category, run a small share of volume through it so it builds history, and leave it in place. If your main processor ever holds your funds or closes your account, you shift traffic the same day instead of applying from scratch while your revenue is frozen.

What we won't do. We won't tell you to leave a processor that's working for you. We won't quote prices on the call, and we won't contact your customers or your current processor. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you to someone who is.
