Supplements DTC, EU

Problem
Stripe ban at €70k per month, mid scale-up. Checkout dead overnight.
The move
Risk audit, migration to a high-risk processor matched to supplements, descriptor cleanup and a backup MID.

Processing restored in 6 days. Two approved processors since, zero downtime.

Community

Fashion dropshipping, EU

Problem
Meta reach collapsed after an algorithm shift. ROAS fell below break-even in a week.
The move
Used the room's early TikTok Shop intel to shift budget and creative before competitors reacted.

ROAS recovered in 3 weeks. TikTok Shop is now 40% of revenue.

Print on demand, US

Problem
EMI froze payouts during a compliance review. Five figures stuck for six weeks.
The move
New payout bank matched to the LLC and money flow, compliance pack prepared, routing rebuilt.

Funds released, payouts stable since February.

Setup crew

Beauty brand, UK

Problem
First-time founder. No entity, no processor, no bank, launch date in three weeks.
The move
LTD registration, processor application and payout banking run in parallel as one stack.

Full stack live in 12 days. Launched on schedule.

Community

Digital products, US

Problem
Chargeback rate hit 1.4% and the processor sent a formal warning.
The move
Applied the chargeback prevention stack from the blog: alerts, descriptors, delivery proof and faster refunds.

0.4% in two months. MID retained, warning lifted.

Setup crew

Electronics reseller, EU

Problem
Marketplace account suspended at verification. Appeals went nowhere for two months.
The move
Clean re-setup with correct entity documents, plus onboarding to a second marketplace to de-risk.

Reinstated, plus a second channel. No single point of failure anymore.
