I've been trying to put the finishing touches on my daily word game Omiword (https://www.omiword.com/), but I've been waylaid by Stripe because they decided that a simple daily word game is a "restricted business," and they shut down my account.[1]

Now I need to figure out an alternate payment handler, or just give up on my modest monetization plan where players can pay a small one-time fee to unlock all of the archived puzzles. It was never going to make a fortune, but it would have been nice to offset some of the hosting expenses.

Don't use Stripe. They shit on you just because they can.

This sounds like a decent use case for Patreon?


Have you considered crypto payments?
