Why This Happens
Stripe flags accounts that show sudden, significant increases in processing volume compared to their historical baseline. A 3x-10x spike in daily transactions triggers automated risk review. This commonly happens during product launches, viral marketing campaigns, seasonal peaks, or when migrating from another processor. Stripe needs to verify the volume is legitimate.
Example Notification
"We've noticed unusual activity on your account with a significant increase in processing volume. Your account is under review while we verify this activity."
