High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Restricted for users in Syria. In February 2026 a community report noted that Polar.sh, a merchant-of-record payments platform, does not support Syrian businesses or individuals, leaving them unable to use the service. No evidence screenshots were provided and no outreach to the company has been made yet.
Investigated
Community member reported Polar.sh as restricted for Syrian users. The platform functions as a Merchant of Record alternative to Stripe but does not support Syrian businesses or individuals. No evidence screenshots were provided.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Polar.sh or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
Contact Polar.sh Support:
Polar.sh is restricted in Syria. Access may require workarounds or may not be fully functional. We are monitoring the situation.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Polar.sh directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
