Business reports sudden termination and held funds

Unresolved at last update

Anyone else get their Stripe account terminated out of nowhere? How did you handle payment processing after? Got the email with zero warning โ€” account terminated, funds held, no real explanation beyond "your business category." Spent the next two months figuring out alternatives. Ended up with a combination of ACH invoicing and crypto that actually works better for my customers than Stripe did. Curious if others have been through this and what solutions actually stuck.
