It wasn't for adult/NSFW material, though. They still banned my account. So Stripe most certainly wouldn't save you even if it was available in your country. You can check out the thread above, there are some helpful replies. If you can afford ~$2,000, you have some options like CCBill.
I think the solution should indeed just be crypto. Fook it. If more people start implementing crypto payments, maybe we can normalize it and take just a sliver of power away from these corporations that decide which businesses are allowed to exist.
When a vendor tells you to delete your account in order to create a compliant account, they really just want to offboard you without actually going through the steps. After you off board yourself they will quietly ignore you. Otherwise they’d just tell you to create a merchant account, separately from the personal one.
Idk if you’re technical, but your solution might be to build the subscription logic yourself. I haven’t touched WP with a 10 mile pole in years, but I know there are some plugins (I think even woocommerce?) that let you add support for other payment gateways. Then you can just use WCs built in subscription logic on the new gateway.
Payment Gateways don't actually process payments, they are built on top of payment processors and can only process payments if the underlying processor is willing to. You need to find a processor that supports your risk profile and they will generally have a white labeled gateway or integrations with gateways where you can bring your own merchant account.
I dont know about this but why does it have to be subscription? cant you sell the individual januaryArtPac etc? Is that too much hassle for the subscribers?
I had the same problem with Stripe: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44679406

Just use patreon, or a similar service, as far as I understand the cut they take isn't even that large.
Find someone in a market relatable yet not identical to yours too big to have this problem and give them a cut.
Can you use something like patreon / gumroad?
Whop?
