Stripe payouts slowed down after refunds and disputes. Is the real issue the negative balance month?
I live in the UAE and run a software business through a Delaware LLC. Last month we had a cluster of refunds and one dispute, and now Stripe payouts feel slower and less predictable than before. Nothing looks catastrophic in the dashboard, but the cash timing clearly changed.
I am trying to understand what I should be documenting right now. If the real problem is that the account had a negative or stressed balance period, I want to capture that properly in the books instead of just calling it a random bad payout month and moving on.
