What it really costs you

A Shopify closure isn't an incident. It's a cascade.

The closed account is only the visible part. Underneath: frozen funds, held payouts, stacked chargebacks, a fingerprint flagged in Trust & Safety databases, and an IRS clock running silently for non-residents.

01

Payouts frozen up to 120 days

Shopify can hold 100% of your payouts during their review — with no time commitment, per their own terms.

02

Chargebacks > 1.5% = ECM

Above the Mastercard ECM threshold, you're flagged across the entire PSP ecosystem — not just at Shopify.

03

Persistent fingerprint

Device, IP, EIN, address, director: PSPs cross-reference everything. Reopening "like before" is mathematically impossible.

04

Delays compound every day

The longer you wait, the bigger the case, the slower the review. The first 72 hours weigh ten times more than week four.

05

Competitors taking your spot

While your store is offline, your warm audiences get retargeted by other brands. CPM climbs, CAC explodes when you return.

06

$25,000 IRS fine if non-resident

For LLCs owned by non-US persons, forgetting Form 5472 + 1120 triggers $25,000 per year — minimum.

Why White LLC

A firm on the ground, not an offshore agency.

90% of "Shopify recovery agencies" operate from Dubai, Bali or Lisbon, with Notion templates and zero direct relationship with US teams. We work from Wyoming, in native English, on individual cases.

Offshore competitors

  • Async communication, mismatched time zones
  • No real US address, no local legal status
  • Generic templates copied off Twitter
  • No connection with Trust & Safety / PSP teams
  • Industrial volumes = every case handled superficially
  • Vanish after payment — no legal recourse

White LLC — Wyoming, USA

  • Office and legal entity in the United States (Wyoming)
  • Response in US business hours, native English
  • Personalized cases, never templates
  • Process built on official Shopify & IRS conditions
  • Limited volume — capped intake capacity
  • Signed contractual engagement, official US invoice
Services

Six services. One logic: solve before selling.

Three high-stakes services are priced upon qualified review — the upside (loss avoided, payouts recovered) is too significant for a catalog price. Standardized infrastructure services are public and fixed.

Why we don't quote high-stakes services online

Recovering a Shopify, installing a PSP, structuring AMEX — the stakes for you are in the tens or hundreds of thousands. Giving a price before seeing the case means either overcharging "just in case" or undercharging and cutting corners. We'd rather look at your situation, tell you honestly whether we can help, and only then talk numbers. The diagnostic is free, no commitment, under NDA.

Real numbers — official sources

All our data comes from primary sources.

No invented stats, no marketing rounding. Every figure cited on this page is sourced, verifiable, and linked to the official document.

90–120d

Shopify Payments reserves

Shopify may hold all or part of your payouts for 90 to 120 days depending on the risk profile detected.

1.5%

Mastercard ECM threshold

Above 1.5% chargebacks, a merchant enters Excessive Chargeback Merchant — near-automatic closure across all PSPs.

$25K

Form 5472 penalty

Failure to file Form 5472 for an LLC owned 25%+ by a non-resident triggers a minimum $25,000 fine, per year.

T+2/T+5

Shopify Payments US payouts

Standard payouts release 2 to 5 business days after the transaction — an eternity if the account enters review.

30%

Non-resident FDAP withholding

Certain US-source income paid to non-residents is subject to 30% withholding absent a compliant structure (W-8BEN, ITIN, treaty).

$100

Wyoming LLC — state fee

The official Wyoming LLC filing fee is $100, with a $60 Annual Report. Beware "agencies" charging $2,000 for nothing else.

Founder's note

A firm, not an agency.

White LLC — Wyoming, USA

I've seen too many talented merchants lose years of work to a Shopify suspension handled by agencies that had never set foot in the United States. Templates copied off Twitter, promises of reopening in 48 hours, vanishings after payment.

White LLC exists to be the opposite of that: a US legal structure, cases handled one by one, sourced numbers, honest refusals when needed. If I can't help you, I tell you. If I can, you'll know exactly what it costs, how long it takes, and what's guaranteed.

We turned down over 200 cases last year. That's what allows us to deliver for the ones we accept.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know before sending a message.

Do you guarantee my Shopify account will be reopened?+
No serious actor can guarantee a 100% reopening — Shopify always holds the final decision, per its Terms of Service. What we guarantee: a case built to their own criteria, submitted to the right teams, with a historically high success rate on the cases we accept. If you're not reinstated, the variable portion isn't due.
How long can Shopify freeze my funds?+
Per the Shopify Payments Terms: "as long as we determine necessary, in our sole discretion." In practice, reserves frequently reach 90 to 120 days, sometimes more.
I'm a non-US resident — can I still work with you?+
Yes — you're our core client. Most of our clients are European, North African, Latin American, or Asian merchants operating the US market. We handle all structuring (LLC, EIN, ITIN, bank, IRS).
Why not display all your prices online?+
Because the high-stakes services (Recovery, PSP, AMEX) depend entirely on your real case: account age, frozen payout amount, monthly volume, chargeback ratio, niche. Giving a price without that data means either overcharging "just in case" or undercharging and cutting corners. Standardized services (LLC, ITIN) are publicly listed.
What are the payment terms?+
Standard: 50% on signature, 50% on delivery. Credit card (US or international), SEPA / SWIFT wire, or Mercury / Wise. Official US invoice issued by White LLC, deductible for your structure.
Do you work with every niche?+
No. We systematically decline niches that violate the Acceptable Use Policies of Shopify, Stripe, or major acquirers — out of operational realism. If the niche is ineligible, no "trick" lasts more than a few weeks.
How long does a Shopify Recovery case take?+
Typically 24 to 72 hours on cases we accept. Our insiders analyze the file and most "final" decisions turn out to be automated mis-flags that can be reversed quickly. The first 72 hours after suspension are critical — beyond that, files weigh more heavily and reviews take longer.
Form 5472 and 1120 — are they really mandatory?+
Yes, without exception, for any US LLC owned 25%+ by a non-resident. The IRS applies an automatic $25,000 penalty per unfiled year, regardless of your actual revenue.
How do I reach you?+
Three channels: the "Free diagnostic" button at the top of the page, WhatsApp at +1 (360) 861-0325, or by email. Reply within 24 US business hours.
