Mapping research-use representations across your store
Read the live store and list every place it names who the business sells to or what the goods are for. The statements agree only when those places describe the same audience and the same goods. A research-use sentence on one page does not create agreement, and it does not decide whether a provider will process the account. Prism can review the public storefront within a scope set before work. The provider decides eligibility. Stripe's prohibited-business examples include the phrase "Incorrectly labeled research chemicals," and Stripe prohibits misleading information about the nature of a business. That is Stripe's published rule. It is not a classification of your catalog, and it is not an instruction to rename what you sell.
For: An owner or authorized representative of a business that sells peptides for laboratory research use only and needs to see whether its public pages describe the same audience.

Agreement is one business description, not a disclaimer
Start with the sentence the business is prepared to stand behind: who it sells to, and what it says the goods are for. Then read the rest of the public site against that sentence. A match is the same audience and the same goods. A research-use line in a footer, a product note, or a checkout acknowledgment does not replace a banner, an image, a testimonial, a policy, or a support reply that describes something else.
Prism's features page says a website review looks at the catalog, promotional content, and store policies together. Product descriptions are reviewed for how products are named, who they are presented to, and whether the surrounding content is consistent. Marketing claims include banners, images, testimonials, and linked content, including statements that conflict with the product description. The review is informational. It is not a legal opinion or a compliance certification, and the same page says a website review does not guarantee approval or continued processing.
Where a store actually makes the statement
Collect the homepage, each product URL you still sell, and the policies linked from those pages. Include text that is not in the product description: a sitewide banner, an image that states an audience, a testimonial, and a page the product links to. Then open checkout far enough to read any acknowledgment or policy text shown before payment. Finally, copy a current reply your staff would send if asked who the products are for. An old template and today's reply are different statements if they do not match.
This map is about one positioning question across the site. It is not a line-by-line edit of a single product record, and it is not a check of whether a file behind a link is the document that page cites. Those are separate reviews. Do not solve a conflict by taking a product off the public catalog while continuing to sell it, or by describing a narrower business than the one the site offers.
What you can resolve, and what a provider still decides
You can decide which sentence is true of the business and which public places contradict it. You can also decide to change a page so that it matches the business you actually operate. You cannot decide from this map that the wording is legally sufficient, or that any provider will open or keep an account. Prism's solutions page says product-specific legal questions should go to qualified counsel, and that the provider sets document requirements, assesses eligibility through underwriting, and decides account terms.
Stripe's prohibited and restricted businesses page, which shows a last update of May 13, 2026, separates prohibited categories from restricted categories. Restricted categories require additional due diligence, and an approval Stripe grants may be modified or revoked. The prohibited examples include "Incorrectly labeled research chemicals," and the page says the examples are representative, not exhaustive. A prohibited use of Stripe is false, manipulated, inaccurate, or misleading information about identity, the business entity, or the nature of the business, and processing for products or services that were not disclosed. This page does not place your catalog in either Stripe category. Ask the provider that would actually process the account, in writing, whether it can support the business the site describes.
What this map must not be used to do
Do not add research-use language to cover a conflicting page, and do not change a product name so the site describes a different business from the one you sell. Stripe's rule against misleading information is a reason to make the pages match the business, not a method for choosing a safer label. A consistent research-use presentation is still not processor approval.
If you want Prism to look at the conflicts, the consultation is the place to name the website and the pages. Scope, fees, and terms are discussed before work. The contact form asks for the website, the products, and the question. It says to leave out payment-card details, passwords, and customer records. Sending the form does not book an appointment, buy a service, or submit a processing application.

Use one row for each live place the store speaks. Copy the words that are on the site now. Leave a row blank when that place does not exist. Worksheet entries are not submitted by this worksheet or saved by this site. Use only non-sensitive summaries; do not enter credentials, government identifiers, card or bank-account numbers, private receipt links, or customer details.
Worksheet entries are not submitted by Prism’s worksheet and are not saved by the site. Use record types, availability, anonymized observations, or match/mismatch results. Do not enter government identifiers, customer names or addresses, customer messages, receipt-access links, card or bank details, passwords, or keys. Send sensitive documents only through the provider’s verified secure channel.

Limits
A Prism consultation can help you organize the facts and discuss the website or processing question. The payment provider decides eligibility, pricing, reserves, and whether an account is opened or closed.
Matching research-use sentences across a store is not a legal conclusion and is not a provider's decision to open or keep an account.
This page does not say whether any catalog falls inside Stripe's prohibited or restricted examples, and it does not tell you to rename goods.
