Why nutraceuticals merchants
outgrow mainstream processors
These aren't edge cases — they're the predictable failure modes of processors that were never built for your category.
One bank means one point of failure
Ride a single processor and one policy change ends your revenue overnight. Multi-bank placement across 25+ partners means a disruption at one bank never becomes a company-level crisis.
Exorbitant bank holds and reserves
Processors that do accept supplements often demand punishing rolling reserves — six figures locked up for a growing brand. We protect your business from exorbitant bank holds and reserves: proper underwriting across 25+ acquiring banks earns you low reserves instead.
Continuity billing is treated as a scam
Subscribe-and-save is the engine of supplement economics, and it's exactly what mainstream risk teams associate with trial-offer scams. You need a processor that separates clean continuity from the bad actors.
Key features built for
nutraceuticals merchants
Everything below is included with your account — no add-on modules, no upsells.
Multi-bank placement
Your volume can be spread across multiple acquiring banks from our network of 25+, building processing redundancy the way you'd diversify suppliers.
Low or no rolling reserves
Clean underwriting files earn supplement merchants reserve terms that keep working capital in the business, not locked at the bank.
Continuity billing done right
Subscribe-and-save, trial-to-paid, and box models with compliant terms, retry logic, and card updating — structured to satisfy both customers and card networks.
Chargeback mitigation suite
Alerts, pre-dispute refunds, and descriptor optimization keep dispute ratios inside network thresholds even at high volume.
Claims & labeling guidance
We flag the marketing claims that trigger bank reviews before you submit — so your site passes underwriting the first time.
Scale without volume caps
No arbitrary monthly ceilings. When a product goes viral, your processing scales with it instead of freezing at the spike.
