Click to Cancel doesn't have to be the downfall of your business. The FTC's new rule is aimed at protecting consumers, but also offers businesses a new type of sales funnel.
Cancellations can be a sales funnel. Don't let customers off the hook so easily, but don't force them to stay on. Finding the balance is key.

Stripe Tokens are super useful if you go all-in on Stripeβbut you should NEVER rely solely on one solution. As a business owner, it's risky to put all your eggs in one basket. Stripe Tokens don't let you move around so freely, though. So what can you do?
If you're selling subscriptions via Stripe and tokenizing that data (as you should be doing), then find a 3rd-party vault to transfer those tokens to. That way, you can use the same customer data and subscription data no matter when payment solution you choose.

If Stripe shut you down without warning or notice and you need to get your store back up and running ASAP, THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU!
Before trying to get your money back or your Stripe account unsuspended, open a new account somewhere else. Your first priority should ALWAYS be the ability to process payments. Without that, you don't have a business.
Follow my guide and your business will be back up and running in no time, Stripe or not.
