What is a Kratom Merchant Account?

Kratom Retailers, Fulfillment, Wholesale, Private Label, Lab Testing

A Kratom merchant account is an industry-specific payment solution that is designed for businesses that sell Kratom products and operate within high-risk industries. Unlike a standard merchant account, these accounts connect you with banks and payment processors that keep the legal status and unique challenges of Kratom sales in mind. Adaptiv kratom accounts enable you to accept credit card payments, debit card transactions, and eChecks through a secure & reliable payment gateway that meets the strict data security and regulatory compliance standards that the kratom industry demands.

These advanced tools and services will help protect your business from unexpected freezes while preserving your cash flow. With Adaptiv Payments you’ll benefit from fast approvals, transparent pricing, and easy integration suited to your business model.

The Importance of Kratom Merchant Accounts for Your Business

Unique Challenges in the Kratom Industry

Shifting regulatory changes, complex legal issues, and elevated fraud and chargeback risks in the Kratom industry cause merchants to encounter unique challenges, that leave standard credit card processors hesitant to support Kratom sellers. A few key challenges of the kratom industry are:

  • Navigating Payment Processor Roadblocks
    Explore how banks and credit-card gateways categorize kratom as “high risk,” the extra fees and documentation they demand, and proven tactics merchants use to secure reliable payment solutions.
  • Ensuring Batch-to-Batch Consistency
    The variability of alkaloid content from different harvests or regions, quality-control protocols (e.g., third-party lab testing), and lack of transparent sourcing can all affect your payment processing stability.
  • Juggling Conflicting Regulations
    We understand state-level bans and local ordinances versus the FDA’s evolving stance and can give practical tips for staying compliant while scaling shipping operations.
  • Combating Public Misconceptions
    The stigma surrounding kratom, confusion with opioids, and sensationalized headlines make traditional processors shy away from taking on kratom clients. We are experts in producing effective educational content strategies used to inform buyers responsibly.
  • Building a Resilient Supply Chain
    Challenges like monsoon season harvest delays and import/export bureaucracy can make supply chain a real pain. Direct relationships with farmers and forward-stocking can shield your business from disruptions.

At Adaptiv we understand these issues and are ready to get you processing online payments ASAP.

Merchant Category Codes for Kratom Transactions

To process online sales smoothly and ensure accurate fee structures, payment processors assign an Merchant Category Code (MCC) to businesses based on their product or service. The correct MCC is important especially for kratom sellers. Though there’s no dedicated “kratom” code, but most payment processors classify kratom products under one of these general supplement or specialty retail categories:

  • MCC 5499 – Miscellaneous Food Stores: Specialty Foods & Dietary Supplements - ideal for health-food markets and supplement shops selling kratom capsules, powders, teas and extracts.
  • MCC 5122 – Drugs, Drug Proprietaries, and Druggists’ Sundries - applies to brick-and-mortar and online pharmacies carrying herbal drug products like kratom.
  • MCC 5912 – Drug Stores and Pharmacies - commonly used for mail-order and internet-based nutraceutical and pharmacy merchants offering kratom.
  • MCC 5999 – Miscellaneous and Specialty Retail Stores - a catch-all code for niche or mixed-product retailers when no more specific category fits.

Note: The final MCC code that is assigned to your business may be different based on the acquiring bank or processor. Always confirm your code directly with your payment provider to ensure proper fee application and compliance.
