The honest teardown

Why high-risk merchants leave the aggregators

Stripe, PayPal, and Square are built for low-risk retail. When they realize what you sell, the account disappears — and your money with it. Here's the difference.

High-risk approval

Purpose-built for high-risk — 90%+ approved
Flagged, then shut down without notice

Sudden holds & freezes

Transparent, negotiated reserves
Funds frozen for 90–180 days, no warning

Multi-processor redundancy

Multiple banks — traffic re-routes on failure
Single point of failure — one shutdown ends you

Dedicated account manager

A real specialist who knows your business
Ticket queue and canned replies

Chargeback & representment tools

Underwriting for your vertical

Approvals & uptime

More approvals. Fewer outages. No single point of failure.

Two things decide whether a high-risk merchant thrives: how many good payments get approved, and whether processing stays up. We engineer for both — with same-day approvals and a 90%+ approval and live rate.

Get more good payments approved

Higher approval rates come from routing and recovery, not luck.

  • Intelligent transaction routing

    Payments are guided toward the path most likely to approve them, instead of being forced down a single pipe — so more good sales go through.

  • Smart decline recovery

    Recoverable declines are given a second chance automatically, so a temporary "no" doesn’t turn into a lost sale.

  • Always-current cards

    Expired and reissued cards are kept up to date behind the scenes, so recurring and returning customers don’t fail at checkout.

Stay live

Built so you never go dark

Redundancy across banks and methods keeps revenue flowing when one path falters.

  • Multiple acquirers, in parallel

    We place you across more than one underwriting bank and method — cards, ACH, eCheck, crypto, offshore — so no single relationship is a single point of failure.

  • Instant failover

    If one route slows or stops, volume shifts to a healthy path. For a research-only peptide business, a week offline can be devastating — redundancy is the whole point.

  • Dedicated risk & compliance ops

    A team that actively monitors your accounts, chargebacks, and descriptors — keeping every account healthy and your processing stable long-term.

Payouts & reporting

Get paid on time, with full visibility.

Transparent payouts and a real-time dashboard keep you in control of your revenue — and same-day onboarding gets you live fast.

Predictable payouts

Clear eligibility with no guesswork — funds become payable once an order is fulfilled and free of disputes, so you always know where your money stands.

Real-time dashboard

Approvals, volume, chargebacks, and deposits in one live view — see how your business is performing the moment it happens.

Reconciliation-ready reporting

Downloadable statements and exports that line up cleanly with your books, so month-end close is quick and painless.

Fast onboarding

Same-day approval and integration — connect your store and start accepting payments right away, not weeks from now.

Direct LegitScript partner

Want to go fully legit? We guide you through it.

For card-not-present peptide merchants, LegitScript certification is effectively the key to durable processing — Visa and Mastercard treat the category as high-risk, and certification is what unlocks stable, wide-open acceptance. Through our direct LegitScript partnership, we fast-track your certification at half the standard cost — and get you through it with far less friction than going alone.

50% offcertification cost through our official partnership
Start your certification path

What certification requires

  • Only FDA-permissible substances — sold through a valid patient-provider relationship
  • Licensed pharmacy partners and documented regulatory compliance
  • No unverified clinical, anti-aging, or performance claims anywhere on your site
  • Full disclosure of business affiliates, owners, and every domain you operate

Know before you apply

Certification isn't available for compounds the FDA has deemed unapprovable — such as BPC-157 or TB-500. We'll review your catalog honestly up front so you don't waste time on an application that can't pass, and map the cleanest route for the products that can.

Website requirements

Get compliant before you apply — we'll help.

Research-only peptide sites must meet these standards. Meeting them up front is the difference between a fast approval and a frozen account.

Required on your site

  • Product disclaimer on every product: "All products currently listed on this site are for research purposes only."
  • Footer disclaimer: "All products sold on this website are intended for research and identification purposes only. These products are not intended for human dosing, injection, or ingestion."
  • Scientific, technical product descriptions.

Keep off your site

  • No health, anti-aging, performance, wellness, weight-loss, or recovery claims — including in reviews.
  • No dosage guidance, protocols, "cycles," or "stacks."
  • No testimonials describing outcomes or effects.
  • No influencer, social media, or lifestyle marketing.
  • No blogs, FAQs, or SEO terms that imply personal or human use.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is selling peptides considered high risk?

Peptides are growing more popular by the day, and the "gold rush" has brought bad actors into a highly regulated industry — including labs that are not cGMP certified. Traditional processors avoid the risk, but processors with dedicated compliance teams can understand high-risk industries and mitigate much of it.

Are peptides illegal to sell?

Peptides are not illegal. However, "drugs" or anything injected — especially with claims of health benefits — must go through testing and clinical trials with FDA approval. Research-only peptides have specific website and marketing requirements.

How long is the approval process?

We offer same-day approvals, and our integration typically goes live in under 30 minutes once you’re approved. Exact timelines depend on the solutions you’re looking for and the banks and methods involved, but most merchants move fast. Pre-qualifying is free and takes minutes.

What platforms can I integrate with?

WooCommerce and Shopify via ready integrations, any custom-built store via our developer API, or a no-code hosted checkout page if you don’t have a store yet. We’ll recommend the right setup for your business.

What kind of solutions do you offer?

For research-only peptides we understand that being down for a week can be devastating, so we build in flexibility: credit cards, debit cards, ACH, eCheck, crypto, offshore, and more — often in combination for redundancy.

Which payment methods can my customers use?

In addition to all major credit and debit cards, your customers can check out with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Cash App for a fast, convenient experience — plus crypto and our NFT solution. More ways to pay means fewer abandoned carts.

What kind of approval rates can I expect?

Our platform delivers same-day approvals and a 90%+ approval and live rate, with intelligent routing and built-in redundancy working behind the scenes to keep more good sales going through and your processing online.

What if I want LegitScript certification?

If you want to go fully legit, we have a direct LegitScript partnership and can fast-track your certification at half the standard cost. We guide you through the whole process — preparing your site and documentation, then applying — so it’s far less friction than going alone. For card-not-present peptide sales it’s effectively the key to stable, wide-open processing.

Can every peptide be LegitScript certified?

No. Certification is only possible for FDA-permissible substances sold through a valid patient-provider relationship with licensed pharmacy partners. Compounds the FDA has deemed unapprovable — such as BPC-157 or TB-500 — cannot be certified. You must also disclose all affiliates and domains and avoid unverified clinical or anti-aging claims. We review your catalog honestly up front.
