UK merchants ask
Does Stripe Checkout work on UK Shopify stores?
Yes via Shopify Payments (Stripe under the hood) or direct Stripe integration. Shopify Payments avoids the Shopify alternative-gateway surcharge. Direct Stripe gives the full Stripe ecosystem.
What is the Stripe new-account holding period?
New UK Stripe accounts settle on 7-day rolling for the first ~90 days. Drops to 2-day or daily once established. AcceptCard manages the application + acceleration to lower settlement holds.
Is Stripe Checkout suitable for UK high-risk verticals?
No. Stripe declines online gambling, dating, adult, CBD, vape, weapons, escort services on standard underwriting. Use the AcceptCard high-risk specialist panel for these verticals.
