Why This Happens
Stripe Connect platforms are held liable when their connected accounts (sub-merchants) violate policies, fail KYC, or generate excessive chargebacks. Enforcement can affect the platform account itself if systemic issues are detected — such as weak onboarding controls, missing compliance monitoring, or a pattern of connected account violations across the marketplace.
