Contact Stripe Dashboard Support

Update: after waiting almost a month for stripe to issue a payout I was forced to refund $3,000 to my costumers which stripe still charged me $100. I’ve spent countless hours on this worthless company. DO NOT waste your time. They don’t have any idea what they’re doing in customer support and it takes days to get any answers back. I’ve contacted stripe multiple times, almost everyday for the last week, and I’ll get an immediate response claiming that they’re looking into why my payments aren’t going through and they’ll get back to me shortly but no one has gotten back to me yet and now my account is frozen. They claim to be looking into that too and will get back to me shortly, basically the same response for them last week. I’m a small business, stripe has 3k in payments I’m still waiting for, if you’re ok with not receiving money for weeks while not getting any answers or support to as of why then stripe might be for you. Most likely I’m going to have to refund them money and try to get paid another way which as a new business you can understand isn’t just frustrating but embarrassing. It looks bad on me for stripes poor performance.

I wish I could write a review with 5 stars and say that I am completely happy but sadly this isn’t the case. When I log into the site in the app or desktop version my entire Stripe dashboard is blank. It has never shown data for any of my payments over the last several months. I’m being charge processing fees that seem like they are much higher than what was indicated and I’m unable to look at reports to make sure. They deposit all of your payments in a lump sum but again, without reports I can’t see how much has been taken out of each transaction. I also received a call from an angry very high profile customer that was billed an exorbant amount of money for something that was an 1/8 of what actually came out of their credit card. My invoice shows the correct amount yet their credit card statement shows my business charging them a lot more. I am completely embarrassed and I definitely lost them as a customer. I am so upset to have to take away the ability to pay with a credit card online but it must be done. This is way too much of a risk to deal with. I will find another way to bill my customers. Probably through the square app as I’ve had a lot of luck in the past with them.

I recently started using Stripe and felt very hopeful this would be an asset to my business after having a client recommend using it to process payment for my services. Upon realizing this future client was fraudulent and after a few google searches realized this has been the case for many other with the phone number they were using. I quickly refunded the credit card amount back to my account and reported it to stripe as FRAUD. However the $98 service charge was still taken out of my account, no questions asked. After several emails attempting to get the fee reimbursed after I was told it was (which is shown on my stripe account) they refused to release the funds to my bank account. They are requesting all sorts of information now in order to release my funds but had no issues with taking it out of my account with such information. As a single mom of two kids $100 is a lot to just throw away and after emails and getting the go around I will no longer be using stripe and will strongly advise others to reconsider going this route. Hope this may help others in the future.
