Types of Nutraceutical Merchant Account
Retail
A retail nutraceutical merchant account allows businesses to accept card-present payment, including credit card, debit card, or point of sale. The transaction rate for retail is usually low as it has the lowest fraud and chargeback risks compared to other merchants.
Mobile
A mobile merchant account is an alternative payment option for a retail merchant account. Customers can use the credit card swiping attachment that plugs in their mobile to pay. This type of payment also has a lower rate of fraud and chargebacks. Therefore, the transaction rate is low as it is for retail.
Virtual Terminal
Customers can pay over the phone, mail, or laptop (without separated equipment). This payment option gives the consumers more options to pay, but it also increases fraud and chargebacks. However, customers can use our chargeback fraud prevention and customer service to prevent tools from protecting their revenue.
e-Commerce
To sell products online, Nutra owners need an eCommerce merchant account. Our payment solutions help to integrate with most major payment gateway and shopping cards. We also provide dispute alerts, chargeback fraud prevention tools, and customer service to protect your business.
How Nutraceutical Merchant Accounts are Approved
To determine the risk associated with your nutraceutical merchants, underwriters need to review the application files. Therefore, merchants need you to fill out the pre-application and provide the required documents, such as banks statement, IDs, and merchant history.
Then, our experts will help you to obtain fast approval with the lowest possible rates. First, our team will check the selling products at your store, such as the legality of the ingredients, countries where they are being offered. Once we assure the product ingredients are seemed acceptable, we confirm that the information on the website and marketing materials is listed accordingly. This action is crucial for a nutraceutical company as some companies were forced to close when a government agency randomly discovered misleading or false online information.
Furthermore, we also help you to check the processing history to make sure the chargeback ratio is lower than 2%. We will have some recommended solutions to help your merchant account decrease the ratio if it’s higher.
Finally, we will ensure that you have enough operating capital to substantiate the processing volumes being requested. This action ensures that you have enough money to run a successful business and cover any chargeback risks associated with your payment processing.
Why Use a Nutraceutical Industry Merchant Account?
The nutraceutical industry has experienced explosive growth as the health-conscious millennial generation has embraced supplements as part of their daily rituals. According to a report funded by the Council for Responsible Nutrition, more than two-thirds of American adults use supplements to fill their nutrition gaps. The industry has contributed $121.6 billion to the U.S. economy. The number is expected to grow to $671 billion worldwide in 2024.
Unfortunately, the nutraceutical industry has a high chargeback ratio and is not well regulated in the United States. Therefore, banks consider nutraceutical merchants too high of a risk.
As a result, it is likely not possible to get a standard merchant account. Even if you receive a merchant account from a traditional payment processor, the bank and payment processor will eventually terminate your account as you violate their service policies. Therefore, choosing a high-risk merchant account is better to keep your nutraceutical merchant account without losing sale opportunities.
With a suitable payment processor, you can confidently promote your Nutra products, services, and subscriptions. Besides, if you are a small business and want to compete with the big companies by selling unique or alternative products that are not standard for the retail market, high-risk merchant accounts are an idea for you.
How Nutraceutical Merchants Keep Chargebacks Low
It is highly recommended to use a high-risk nutraceutical merchant account. A reputable high-risk payment processor will include an alert and chargeback management system to manage the issue before it becomes a chargeback. This action helps your chargeback ratio at a low level and maintain a good relationship with the bank.
Furthermore, our iCan4Consumers helps you communicate with your customers and issue funds before it becomes a chargeback.
