Why This Happens

A general account review occurs when Stripe's systems detect patterns that require human investigation. This could be triggered by multiple factors: unusual refund patterns, customer complaints, changes in average transaction size, or new product types being processed. Unlike specific violations, a general review is an information-gathering step.
