The Stripe alternative that won't freeze you
Stripe is built for low-risk scale. If you sell nutra, supplements, CBD, beauty, health or coaching, you need dedicated MIDs that keep processing, plus a CRM to run them, on one platform.
Book a callGreat product, wrong rails
Stripe is a superb processor for mainstream, low-risk businesses. But its underwriting and risk models are tuned for that world, and high-risk categories sit outside the comfort zone. Nutra, supplements, CBD, and continuity offers get flagged, reserved, or offboarded, usually right after a strong week.
It is not personal. Aggregators like Stripe pool risk across millions of accounts, so they protect the pool by cutting anything that looks risky. For a high-risk founder that means frozen funds, surprise reserves, and a terminated account with no appeal. Resub was built to close exactly that gap.
Infrastructure built for high-risk from day one
Dedicated MIDs
Stable merchant accounts in your name, underwritten for what you actually sell, so processors have far less reason to freeze or terminate.
High-risk underwriting
Approvals for the exact categories Stripe restricts, handled by a team that does high-risk every day.
Smart routing
Traffic moves across your MIDs to keep approvals high and processing steady when volume swings.
Decline & dunning recovery
Win back soft declines and failed rebills a standard flow quietly loses.
Chargeback & dispute tools
Fight disputes and protect your MIDs from the termination chargeback pressure triggers.
Fair reserves & 2-day payouts
Reserves sized to your real risk and released on a clear schedule, with payouts in about two days.
The only platform that gets you the MIDs and runs the CRM
Leaving Stripe usually means stitching together a high-risk processor, a routing tool, and a separate CRM. Resub is one platform: we open and manage your dedicated MIDs, route across them, handle disputes, and run the subscription CRM, so you finally have a payments layer that expects your business instead of bracing against it.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Stripe freeze high-risk merchants?
Stripe is an aggregator that pools risk across millions of accounts. High-risk categories like nutra, supplements and CBD fall outside its risk appetite, so it tends to flag, reserve, or offboard them to protect the shared pool.
Can I run nutra, supplements or CBD on Resub?
Yes. Those are exactly the categories Resub underwrites. You get dedicated merchant accounts built for high-risk products, not a general-purpose account that treats them as a liability.
Do I have to leave my store platform to switch?
No. Resub works with your existing store and sits under your checkout, so your storefront and customer experience stay the same while the infrastructure underneath changes.
What makes Resub different from Stripe?
Resub is built for high-risk from the ground up: dedicated MIDs, smart routing, decline recovery, chargeback tools, fair reserves, optional subscriptions, and a CRM — the pieces a high-risk business actually needs to keep getting paid.
How does pricing compare?
Resub uses one transparent rate that lowers as you grow, with no fixed monthly cost, versus a flat published rate on a platform that can freeze you at any time.
