I am a 3d artist and my field is arch viz. My business revolves around supplying real estate developers and realtors with renders and visuals that would showcase their properties that they are selling. My pricing is subscriptions based. I was thinking about using stripe within hubspot but heard there are instances where they withheld funds, this makes me caustious. Is there any way to maybe avoid my funds being held? The funds will aim at improving my business and also paying my freelancers that assists me on projects. Any advice, alternatives, tips are welcomed.
Hi @NSmith67 I haven’t heard anything about Stripe withholding funds related specifically to HubSpot and they have fraud measures in place you can find here. Our team works with clients that have subscription based services and many use SaaS.hapily (formerly Zaybra) which was developed by our firm before splitting off to create a separate entity - there haven’t been any concerns raised that I’m aware of related to payments being withheld.
Hopefully others in the community can offer further guidance, all the best with your business!
Holding issues with Stripe can definitely disrupt workflow, especially for small businesses. If you’re in the 3D printing space like I am, streamlining other tools—like using Ceeality Slicer for efficient slicing—can at least keep production running smoothly while you sort out payment alternatives.

I know this is an old thread, but Stripe has public guidance on 1st payout holds - Waiting on your first Stripe payout? What you need to know : Stripe: Help & Support - There is a 7-14 day waiting period for the first payout. This delay is necessary for risk mitigation and cannot be waived under any circumstances.
