Merchant of Record Migration

July 2024

Stripe acquired Lemon Squeezy. Your independent platform is now forced into native Managed Payments — 12–18 month signal closing fast.

The Problem

The Enforcement Gap

When platforms update policies, enforcement follows — days, sometimes weeks later. That window is everything.

What's at stake:

Account restrictionsPayment holdsPayout suspensionsAccount terminations
Days to Weeks
The Window

Between a platform publishing a policy update and enforcement action hitting your account.

Up to 180 Days
Capital Locked

Platforms can hold funds from 90 to 180 days during account reviews.

1,400+
Enforcement Events

Real enforcement cases tracked and analyzed across major payment platforms.

That window is the Enforcement Gap.

Here's how PlatformPolicy closes it.

How It Works

Closing the Enforcement Gap

From policy change to action plan — so you act before enforcement, not after.

Detect

Policies change across Stripe, PayPal, and covered platforms. We catch them at publication.

Classify

Each change is analyzed against documented enforcement patterns — identified and ranked by severity.

Deliver

Risk brief in your inbox — email, dashboard, or Slack. Within hours.

What Changed

Account classification is now usage-based, not registration-based. Commercial activity on personal accounts may trigger enforcement actions, including limitations, forced upgrades, or account closure.

What It Means

Sellers using personal PayPal accounts for business payments risk account limitations and fund holds under the updated terms.

Recommended Actions
  • Verify your account type matches your transaction activity
  • Migrate commercial activity to business account
  • Review updated User Agreement section on account types

Built for Teams That Depend on Platforms

When platforms you don't control change the rules, your revenue can freeze without warning. Funds get locked. Payouts stop. Revenue stops flowing.

Your team runs the business.

PlatformPolicy covers the policies.

Same Policy Change. Two Outcomes.

One freezes your revenue for months. The other gets the brief before enforcement hits.

Common Questions

PlatformPolicy is an early warning system that alerts businesses before payment platforms like Stripe and PayPal enforce policy changes that can lead to account freezes, fund holds, or suspensions. Alerts are delivered in plain English via email and, on higher tiers, Slack and API.

Most platforms rely on automated enforcement systems that trigger when risk thresholds are crossed or policies are violated. Updates to those rules often happen quietly, without direct notice to merchants, and enforcement can follow weeks later — creating a blind spot most teams miss.

Each alert answers two questions: "What Changed" (the specific policy update and when it takes effect) and "What Now" (how it may affect your business type, plus concrete steps to reduce risk based on historical enforcement patterns).

At launch, PlatformPolicy focuses on Stripe and PayPal, with additional processors such as Square, Braintree, and others being added over time. Coverage expands as enforcement data and demand from customers grow.

Neither. PlatformPolicy is risk intelligence. It surfaces enforcement risk signals from policy changes and historical patterns so you can act early. It does not replace legal counsel or full compliance programs.

Yes. You can start with Stripe enforcement risk alerts for free, with no credit card required. Paid plans unlock additional platforms, Slack delivery, and API access as your risk surface and team complexity increase.
