Stripe’s NEW Dispute Fees Are Outrageous

💸 Stripe’s NEW Dispute Fees Are Outrageous — What You *Must* Know to Protect Your Business

Stripe just changed the game — and not in a good way. Business owners now face a $30 fee to fight disputes, and if you let Stripe’s “Smart Disputes” AI win them for you, they’ll keep 30% of the recovered amount. Seriously.

In this episode, I pull no punches, breaking down why Stripe's new policy is deeply predatory, how it's forcing sellers into a lose-lose scenario, and what you can do to protect your profits.

👉 You’ll learn:

* Why Stripe doubled the dispute fee from $15 to $30 — even if you win

* How their Smart Disputes AI takes 30% of recovered funds (yes, really)

* Whether you should fight disputes manually or let AI handle it (and what it’ll cost you)

* Practical strategies to improve your win rate and avoid disputes in the first place

* Proof you need to gather (contracts, IP logs, delivery receipts, etc.)

* Why Stripe’s AI may *fail* you — and how to fight back

* Alternatives to Stripe with real human support

🧠 Whether you're running a 6-figure store or scaling past 7, this episode delivers hard truth, actionable tips, and clear guidance on navigating Stripe’s increasingly automated and costly system.
