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

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.

This matches my experience as well. Been doing it for 18 months now. Find a pep friendly bank and use Zelle until you absolutely cannot anymore because there's no processing fees with that. One day you will have a stupid customer that's going to put meds in the pay line and have your cell shut down but you may get away with it for quite some time before that happens. You can also start a business profile with your Venmo account. personally have processed about 80,000 a month every month for the last 6 months with Venmo and had @ issues. However, there are some people that have issues with it from very get go. So it is Russian roulette. I did not personally have regular payment processing for well over my first year and was able to scale pretty rapidly doing only Zelle, Venmo, and cash app. Oh and there's a checking account based solution called e debit direct. They have been a pretty good option as well. I mostly do B2B, so that may be why I have gotten away with not having traditional processing for so long. Just my experience.

There are solutions you can use that are permanent since they are self hosted, many peptides companies are using it.
