I also edited out something unnecessary. But maybe Stripe could be pushing back against those limitations or helping to find other solutions. Apple seems to be able to (see Grindr).

  >Apple seems to be able to (see Grindr). Can you please elaborate on this?

    You pay for a Grindr subscription through Apple using IAP. Grindr presumably wouldn’t be allowed to use Stripe given their terms of use. If one wanted to create something like Grindr but as a website instead of an app, the options for payment are extremely limited.

      You can't use Stripe for a dating app?
      - edwinwee 6y ago
        You can. Many dating apps use Stripe.

        "sexually oriented dating services" are prohibited from using Stripe: https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses

  Or maybe people could push back against normalizing support for these types of businesses. Many don't agree that this should be supported, and think Stripe is correct here.
