Top reasons for account disapprovals:

Misrepresentation

The misrepresentation label will be split in two (effective May 27th, 2021): Misrepresentation and Website needs improvement.

Examples of Misrepresentation

Tips

Missing contact information

Make sure your site provides users with at least two of the following types of contact information: physical business address, phone number, or email. Note that a contact form does not suffice.

Missing refund policy

Make sure to include a return and refund policy before checkout which clearly states how you handle these actions, including all requirements and any timelines. If returns and refunds are not accepted, you’ll need to clearly state this on your website.

Insufficient payment information

Make sure that before checkout:

  • Your website clearly lists all payment methods accepted

  • You clearly state the full expense that a user will bear before and after purchase
