In the past I've had a Stripe account frozen and had a few friends with the same issues. When this happens it's a disaster because nobody at Stripe answers you and you can be stuck for 2 years, you also lose all your active subscriptions and usually can't process any cards ...

💡 Payment Shield is an intermediary layer between your customers & a bunch of payment gateways, all you need to do is register to fallback processor(s) (such as Worldpay, Checkout.com, Square, etc.) and use Payment Shield's API to manage your transactions.
- 5% higher success rate: When a transaction fails with Stripe, it will be re-tried with your fallback gateway without asking the user for their card details again.
- Chargeback spreading: if your chargeback rate is close to 0.5% with one gateway, we will route safer transactions to it and riskier transactions to one of your fallback gateway.
- Reduced fees: we have a deal with a few gateways to charge you way less than 2.9% + 0.30$ if you go through Payment Shield.

🗺️ Building in Public
Yesterday I discover ideabrowser.com which uses AI across various reddit-style communities to pre-validate a business idea & shows you 1 idea per day. So I decided to take the idea of 26 June 2025 an build it 100% in public with daily documenting from 0 all the way up to $1m ARR. I will also start by following ideabrowser.com's go to market strategy. This is my 5th company, if you're interested to follow the project feel free to follow twitter.com/pablocooks247
