FAQ
How long will Stripe hold my money?
Reviews: days to weeks. Reserves: commonly 30–120 days rolling. Terminations: typically up to 90–180 days for the final balance. The guide maps each scenario — and your dashboard/emails are always the authoritative source for your account.
Can the reserve percentage be negotiated?
Sometimes, with evidence: falling dispute ratio, fulfillment proof, processing history. The kit includes the template for making that case at the right moment (not week one).
Should I just open a new Stripe account?
No. Linked accounts are detected, and circumvention converts a temporary problem into a permanent one. The legitimate alternative — a properly verified secondary processor — is in the Bridge Plan.
Is this Stripe-only?
The process logic (risk reviews, reserves, evidence packs) applies broadly — PayPal, Shopify Payments, Mollie work similarly — but templates and timelines are written for Stripe.
