Dear friend, please ask if "1." limitation is still valid? Despite the pandemic, during this year I bought a lot of devices with batteries (each in 1-5 pcs quantity, no bulk) - through China Post and Hong Kong post - one device even with 3 spare batteries! - and all them arrived fine to me without any noticeable delay. So I guarantee this is fine, at least for Russian buyers. The only difference I see: many devices had a sticker on a battery (not powering a device until a sticker is removed) - but your wiki tells your company are already doing it.
So, if the Chinese sellers can send it fine, you should be able to send it too without a problem - since the rules are the same for everyone. However, if you insist that this restriction is still valid, you could just send a PinePhone without a battery (would be nice if you could give a small discount for that) - and we simply buy a separate battery from AliExpress China, maybe even higher capacity than Pine's.
2. Regarding your Stripe payment method - please add it as soon as possible. Other alternatives: Alipay, or Direct Bank Transfer, would be also nice.
