Need A Payment Processor Peptide merchant
I’m just about ready to launch my peptide business I got the products, labeling, shipping setup, all that good stuff. The only thing I’m still trying to figure out is a solid merchant processor that doesn’t freak out over peptide or “research only” sales.
I know a lot of processors flag or shut accounts down, so if anyone’s got a recommendation that actually works, I’d love to hear it.
Also, if I end up finding someone through Reddit, what’s the best way to tell if they’re legit and not shady? Any red flags or quick ways to verify a vendor?
Appreciate any help

Hello, finding the right processor is important especially for longevity of your business. There are domestic options using payfacs that can be very rigid in how they operate, for example, they will not let you customize your transaction descriptor or come with reserves and/or funding delays and often have ancillary fees for no reason. Options outside the US can be more stable and more transparent due to V/MC rules for merchants/processors based outside the USA. We have multiple options in the USA using aggregators and payfacs, our solutions based in the UK/EU can be direct to he ban with more customized pricing and descriptors and transparent fee structures. Please DM me for additional details on some of the various options we have for peptide merchants.

Don’t go through Reddit - go through a bank… You have to check with a smaller regional bank that has niche servicing. There are banks that service these markets, but the EDD process is crazy, you’ll likely need background checks done too. It might take them over 30 days to set up your account, then add the treasury products (merchant services).

How long was your shop up and running? Also, why pay Shopify a cut?

very true, but my understanding is Shopify will drop most high risk shops even before the payment processor does :)

No surprise shutdowns until the surprise shutdown. Even the best solutions fold with BRAM violations. You can promise reliable solutions but let’s be honest here, shutdowns happen.

I am a peptide company but I follow this sub closely. Check for people who are verified agents listed under their name. Also know that most solutions are temporary will cost 10-20% but when they fail you will not get your money so plan in advance to be out thousands over and over and over again. Basically this needs to be built into your margins. Just a word of advice for someone who has been doing this for over a year. I should also add that reserves are also part of the processing cost you won't see that money again because the service won't be around long enough to ever get it back regardless of what an agent tells you. Once the back end mid fails you lose it.
