Kristina - I signed up for Substack, followed all the directions, and ran into a problem. My readers who wanted to subscribe were greeted with an error message, and no one was able to subscribe.

"This connect account cannot currently make live charges. The 'requirements .disabled_reason' property on the account will provide information about why this account is currently disabled. If you are a customer trying to make a purchase, please contact the owner of this site. Your transaction has not been processed."

I can find no help desk, just a bunch of FAQs, none of which fit.

Help!

Hi Tom, did you get any help from Substack and how did you solve the problem? Sorry for replying so late. Just saw your comment.

Yes. It apparently took a bit longer for Substack to get everything in place. A couple of days later, my first paid subscriber appeared. Unfortunately, I have several older folks who wish to pay with a check or cash. One 93 year old gentleman sent me four $20 bills in a card. I used my own credit card to award him with a "gift subscription." That seemed to work. Thanks for responding.
