'Occult goods and services' is a categorical prohibition on Stripe, PayPal, and Square.
Tarot readers, astrologers, psychic services, and metaphysical retailers hit the exact aggregator AUP language that prohibits 'occult and metaphysical services.' It's a categorical ban regardless of professionalism, licensing (Louisiana, for one, licenses psychics), or actual chargeback history. Stablecoin doesn't classify by belief system.
The AUP language is broad — 'psychic services,' 'occult goods,' 'metaphysical practices' — and enforcement is categorical.
Post-reading disputes ('the reading was wrong') generate cardholder chargebacks that are structurally un-representable — there's no delivery proof for a service the customer disputes the value of.
Practitioners who use marketplace platforms to bypass the AUP problem hand over 20–30% of gross to the platform.
- No AUP restriction on 'occult' services — rail doesn't classify by belief.
- Direct client relationship — no 20–30% marketplace fee.
- Reading-quality disputes are not a chargeback vector on-chain.
- Payment link flow works for phone, video, or in-person reading formats.
