FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about high-risk merchant accounts, payment processing, and our services. If you need additional information, please don't hesitate to reach out.

What Are High-Risk Products?

High-risk products refer to goods or services sold by merchants in industries classified as high-risk. Common examples of these industries include nutraceuticals, CBD products, magazine subscription services, debt consolidation services, multi-level marketing, travel, and others. Additionally, products or services with high price points, as well as those offered through subscription models or payment plans, may also be categorized as high-risk.

What is a High-Risk Merchant Account?

A high-risk merchant account offers businesses categorized as high-risk the ability to process credit and debit card transactions effectively. These accounts are for merchants who may encounter a greater likelihood of chargebacks or whose operations present elevated financial risks to banks and merchant account providers, ensuring they can thrive despite these challenges.

What Makes a Business High Risk?

Businesses are typically classified as high-risk due to their industry or operational practices. Even businesses outside traditional high-risk industries may be categorized as high-risk if they offer free trials, subscription billing, average transaction amounts exceeding $50, monthly sales volumes over $20,000, or have high chargeback ratios and poor credit histories. Obtaining a high-risk merchant account is generally the best solution for these businesses.

How Do I Apply for a High-Risk Merchant Account?

To apply for a high-risk merchant account with Adaptiv Payments, simply complete our online application form or contact our sales team directly. We'll need some basic information about your business, including processing history, monthly volume, and the type of products or services you offer. Our team will review your application and guide you through the approval process, helping you find the right payment solution for your specific business needs.

What fees are associated with high-risk merchant accounts?

High-risk merchant accounts typically include several types of fees: set-up fees, monthly or annual maintenance fees, per-transaction fees (usually a percentage plus a fixed amount), payment gateway fees, and possibly chargeback fees. At Adaptiv Payments, we strive to offer competitive and transparent pricing for high-risk merchants, with fee structures tailored to your specific business needs and processing volume.
