Issue 01 · May 2026 An independent advisory

Be ready before
Stripe reviews you.

We are an independent advisory that reviews your website, business model, refund language, KYC material, and dispute evidence — the same ground a payment processor's review will cover, organized before that review begins.

§ 02 · Sample findings

What the report reads like.

Findings cite the specific page, the rule it touches, and recommended copy. Each item is reviewed by a human before delivery.

F-001
High readiness risk Priority P0

Refund policy missing from public navigation

Why it matters Stripe's published website checklist requires refund terms accessible to customers. Absence is a common cause of mid-review information requests.

F-002
Elevated readiness risk Priority P1

Free-trial recurring charge not disclosed at signup

Why it matters Unclear trial-to-paid transitions raise involuntary dispute rates and trigger Stripe's billing-clarity review heuristics.

F-003
Elevated readiness risk Priority P1

Product description differs between landing page and pricing page

Why it matters Stripe reviews look for consistency between advertised offer and what the customer actually purchases.
