Why Supplement Companies Struggle with Payments

High Chargeback Rates

Nutraceuticals average 2-4% chargeback rates due to subscription cancellations, product efficacy disputes, and "friendly fraud" from forgetful customers who don't recognize recurring charges.

Continuity Billing Complexity

Trial offers, autoship programs, and subscription models trigger higher scrutiny. Card networks closely monitor "negative option" billing, and many processors refuse these models entirely.

78% of nutra revenue comes from subscriptions

FDA/FTC Compliance

Health claims, ingredient labeling, and advertising regulations create compliance risks. Banks worry about products making unsubstantiated medical claims or facing regulatory action.

Refund & Return Issues

Consumable products often can't be resold after return. High refund rates from dissatisfied customers or those claiming products "didn't work" increase processor liability.

Nutraceuticals Merchant Account Questions

Yes! We fully support free trial offers, trial-to-paid conversions, autoship programs, and subscription billing. We'll help ensure your billing flows are compliant with Visa/Mastercard requirements for negative option billing, including proper disclosures and easy cancellation options.

We work with merchants up to 2% chargeback ratios, though we recommend staying below 1.5%. Our chargeback prevention tools typically reduce disputes by 45%. Merchants consistently above 2% may need a mitigation plan, and we provide guidance to get ratios under control.

High-volume nutra merchants ($100K+/month) often benefit from multiple MIDs to spread chargeback ratios. We set up load balancing across 2-4 accounts, intelligently routing transactions to keep each account within healthy limits. This also provides backup if one account has issues.

We cannot process: products making drug claims, controlled substances, anabolic steroids, products containing banned ingredients (ephedra, DMAA), and supplements not compliant with DSHEA. Products should be manufactured in GMP-certified facilities.
