AEO Direct Answer
Why did Stripe place a rolling reserve on my payouts?
This extractable summary outlines the core enforcement diagnosis and the first verified action step.
Direct answer: Stripe places rolling reserves (typically 10% to 25% of gross sales held for 90 to 180 days) on accounts exhibiting high chargeback ratios, rapid processing volume growth, delayed fulfillment timelines, or high-risk business models. To reduce or remove a reserve, sellers must demonstrate reduced chargebacks, faster delivery times, and strong cash reserves.
