Why this matters for sarms stores

SARMs and performance-product merchants often run into processor concern when normal account movement starts to look like unmanaged risk. The issue may start with restricted-product review, descriptor confusion, and payout holds, but it usually becomes serious when there is no clear owner, no timeline, and no evidence showing what changed.

The goal of this guide is simple: help operators understand what to check first, what to document, and when to turn the situation into a structured risk audit instead of waiting for a processor email.
