Guys, i high appreciate if you could help me out.
I run a online store via shopify selling water pipes(for tobacco use only), and my account get terminated as I am considered selling restricted products. However, why other stores(i am not gonna name names), they are also selling the same products and e-cigarette on their website, and as I know they are also using Stripe as their payment gateway without any problems for years! Which is so UNFAIR to me. I have asked the same questions to Stripe support staff, but they never give me a straight answer why there is a double standard…… I personal highly appreciate if you could tell me why and give me opinions how i still could receive order paymnet....HELP

Hi there!
Don here from Shopify!
There are definitely a few payment gateway options out there that would be willing to consider hosting your product line. 🙂
I would get in touch with 2Checkout, Authorize.net or eMerchant Broker.
One or more of these gateways should be available in your region and would be good leads for a gateway that you can use moving forward. 🙂
All the best!
Regards,
Don
