James breaks down what high-risk accounts really are, how VAMP is triggering holds and shutdowns across Shopify, and why this shift is driving a surge of merchants urgently seeking new processing options. You’ll also hear insights on how agents and ISOs can capture these opportunities by leveraging the Full Stack Payments app in partnership with TCG.
