Restricted Businesses
Restricted business types are not outright banned, but they face a significantly higher bar for onboarding validation. Merchants operating in these spaces must provide verifiable corporate registration, proof of compliance with regional laws, and show a pristine trading history before being granted production checkout privileges:- Directories & Curated Boards: Permitted only if they meet rigid data-sourcing guidelines and do not operate purely as ad-placement networks.
- Verified Marketing Frameworks: Enterprise-grade SaaS platforms focusing on long-term growth analytics rather than un-solicited mass outreach shortcuts.
- Pre-Orders & Validated Waitlists: High-risk for payment rails due to delivery abandonment vectors. Permitted only for established developers with clear delivery track records. Solifyn will hold 100% of these processing balances until delivery is verified.
- Primary Ticket Sales: Allowed for direct event organizers with explicit insurance documentation (excludes second-party ticket brokers).
- Premium Educational eBooks: Reviewed manually to protect the system against plagiarism and low-quality digital assets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are manual human services (like consulting or agencies) not allowed?
Why are manual human services (like consulting or agencies) not allowed?
Pure human services carry significant operational risk and fulfillment friction. Because delivery cannot be programmatically tracked by our checkout webhooks or verified via physical logistics tracking, we cannot effectively shield our payment infrastructure from subsequent buyer fulfillment disputes. Solifyn supports physical goods because we track delivery carriers; manual consultation does not have this layer of objective proof.
Why are pre-orders and paid waitlists heavily restricted?
Why are pre-orders and paid waitlists heavily restricted?
Pre-orders present structural cash-flow challenges for financial infrastructures. If an engineering team collects funds to validate demand but fails to deliver the final software as promised, the platform absorbs catastrophic chargeback and refund liabilities. For high-trust corporate teams with an established tracking index, we can clear custom exemptions, but we will adapt our payout cadence to lock processing balances until product fulfillment is completed.
Why do directories and marketing services require closer review?
Why do directories and marketing services require closer review?
Many directory sites operate solely to scrape data or sell premium ad placements without adhering to proper data compliance guidelines (e.g., GDPR/CCPA). Similarly, mass outreach marketing applications often trigger high network fraud flags. We only onboard platforms that demonstrate robust technical architecture and focus on value-add software utilities.
Why are OnlyFans-adjacent or adult helper services prohibited?
Why are OnlyFans-adjacent or adult helper services prohibited?
The risk profile of adult entertainment, adult proxy tools, and NSFW AI generation spaces regularly leads to high dispute frequencies and severe card-brand compliance fines. To keep our baseline routing rates exceptionally low for global software developers, we completely disallow any business models linked to adult media or adult entertainment platforms.
Broader Compliance Obligations
All approved merchants processing transactions on Solifyn must maintain absolute compliance with modern global data protection regulations (GDPR, CCPA), adhere to industry-standard encryption practices (PCI-DSS compliance), and guarantee transparent marketing.Platform Monitoring & Enforcement Milestones
Solifyn deploys a unified threat-detection layer combining machine-learning content analysis with a dedicated, round-the-clock Trust & Safety division to audit marketplace stores, digital assets, metadata feeds, and transaction flows. Merchant configurations are reviewed at specific high-signal milestones: Account Creation, Marketplace Publishing, First Customer Payment, First Completed Payout, and at Recurring Volume Thresholds.Violation Protocols
- Correctable Violations: If a merchant commits an administrative oversight (e.g., accidentally utilizing a third-party corporate logo without an explicit commercial license, making an unsubstantiated product claim, or selling an asset bundle that contains a restricted supplement), our team will issue an action notice via email. You will receive clear instructions to correct the issue within 48 hours.
- Non-Correctable Violations: If a merchant deliberately misrepresents their identity, lies about their underlying product catalogs, distributes illicit malware, sells prohibited materials, or triggers clear credit network fraud vectors, the consequences are immediate and final:
- The business workspace and all associated developer entities are permanently terminated.
- The merchant identity is added to our global platform blacklist database.
- Solifyn retains the strict legal right to freeze, hold, reverse, and refund all ledger balances to consumers to neutralize platform liability.
