Getting Subscription Merchant Processing

When it comes to businesses that are high risk, this means that there are significantly more regulations to adhere to, restrictions that limit access to resources that would be available to low risk businesses, and far more hoops to jump through before being secured with proper payment processing.

Why is this? Well, the fact is that big banks and the mainstream payment processors like PayPal, Stripe, and Square do not allow payment processing for high risk businesses like those who are in the subscription box merchant account industry. It can seem like this backs you against a wall and that your options are limited – that isn’t true, in fact, you just need to find a payment processing company who works day in and day out with high risk merchants.
