[METHOD] STRIPE Payment Gateway

I provided real information and didn't really understand which address they need. Gave them my Viabox address in full and home address with only street name and city (didn't ask for more). You just have to call them and the worker who will answer the call will ask You everything one by one so You don't really need to fill the paper before.
Did you manage to get your EIN?
Got this email from STRIPE today:
"Our systems recently identified charges that appear to be unauthorized by the cardholder, meaning that the owner of the credit or debit card did not consent to these payments. This unfortunately means that we will no longer be able to accept payments for ------------.com.
Refunds will be issued in 5–7 business days, although they may take longer to appear on the cardholder's statement. Please refer to your dashboard for a list of the charges to be refunded[1].
We're sorry that we won't be able to offer you service going forward, but our restrictions here are firm. If you believe that we've made a mistake, we'd like to remedy the situation as quickly as possible. To help us effectively revisit your account, please complete the following form:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/verifications/credit_card
Once you've completed the verification, we'll revisit your account and follow up with you.
Best,
Stripe"
This was right after my third order at Stripe. But order itself looking absolutely fine - both Shopify and Stripe saying that there is no risk order, and my Stripe panel looks normal - no refunds or anything.
So do you guys had this email? Why do they want verification of my CC? I'm not from US, so I kinda lost what to do.

Hello everyone, new guy here. I've been accepting payments on my shopify store (dropshipping) exclusively with PayPal. Now I want to transition to Stripe (1), Shopify Payments (2) or alternative payment options (3). I've read many replies on this thread but I am afraid I still don't quite comprehend how to set things up, and I fear some methods may be outdated. So I have the following doubts:
1. Stripe explicitly establishes that dropshipping is a high-risk business. Therefore, they may hold your account and even terminate it when charge backs occur (worse case scenario). Is there a way around this? Do I just lie when creating a Stripe account? What if I lie, and a charge back occurs?
2. Shopify Payments runs via Stripe itself, are charge backs an issue too? When completing the information for Shopify Payments I see an SSN is required. I am not a US resident, but I do have an LLC, Bank of America account, and Physical address in the US. What do I input in the SSN section? Can I even process payments being outside of the US (even though I do have all of the previously mentioned things), won't they use my IP to know I'm not in the US? Using a VPN is a good way around this if that's the case?
3. Lastly, alternative methods. I tried several of them. Since I live in Mexico and my store was registered here, when I tried alternative methods I could only choose from the ones available for Mexico. However, I recently changed my store location to the LLC address. Now I have many options to choose from, but I am not sure on which one is the best. Got rejected by Conekta (they aren't too fond of dropshippers either), 2checkout also needs a ton of information and they want to see the website to evaluated it (I'm afraid they will also deny my application due to dropshipping). I am currently applying to PayU, but it only accepts payments within Mexico. What other systems do you guys recommend? Has someone used 2checkout effectively? Is it easier once you set it up as an LLC?
Important information to take into account:
Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Btw, I'm new to the forum, so if I am doing something wrong please let me know

Important information to take into account:
- I have an LLC in Delaware
- EIN
- Physical US address in Connecticut
- US Phone number
- US bank account (Bank of America)
- LLC member that is a US resident (but only owns 1%)
- I live in Mexico (just recently changed my store location to US, that's why I'm evaluating new different payment services)
Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Btw, I'm new to the forum, so if I am doing something wrong please let me know
.No I didn't, I didn't find the option when I called via phone

Just follow the instructions in the link in my post above, step by step. Anyone with the intelligence level of at least a 10 year old can set it up easily.
Only if you are also in a high risk scammy country and your site looks like crap. And they don't "explicitly' state that. It's a "maybe".

If you’re looking to start a business in United States and open a U.S. bank account, you’re required to get an Employer Identification Number (EIN) .
In recent years the IRS has made it increasingly hard for foreign individuals without an SSN to get an EIN.

dear Kingpin, I also dont want to take any risk and involve myself in issues from payment gateways.. I have the plan for multiple websites and want these all payment issues to be resolved first.
1 : Is one LLC enough for multiple websites, like 10/15 in future?
2 : I have many relatives in US, how can i get benefit from them for having stripe? If i use their SSN, i will have my own stripe account or i will use their?
3 : Please send me the link as well for LLC.
4 : After LLC and Stripe, Will i have to go for Payoneer for getting payments in KSA / Pakistan?
Waiting for your reply.. Thanks

There's the reason for the extra scrutiny. Many scammers and shoddy businesses set up LLCs in the U.S. There was probably something in your application that tipped them off that you live elsewhere than the U.S
You will just have to provide the info to them.
For this one "receipts or proof of contract with the vendors for your business", I'd just take some screenshots of some of the order detail pages.
The rest of them seem simple enough.
