Online Pharmacy Merchant Account

What is an Online Pharmacy?

Online pharmacies operating online require robust financial services for payment processing, given the increasing trend towards online purchases. However, securing reliable and affordable merchant services has proven challenging due to stringent regulations and restrictions. Many in the industry have turned to echeck payment processing services due to the scarcity of accessible merchant accounts.

A common approach for online pharmacies is to utilize aggregated merchant accounts, akin to eWallet systems like Stripe, to blend transactions and remain relatively inconspicuous. Although this method may extend operational longevity compared to dedicated merchant accounts, it comes with significantly higher costs and delayed payouts. Nonetheless, for some businesses, it remains the most practical solution available.

Why Online Pharmacy Merchants need to apply for a Merchant Account

1

High Risk Concerns

Merchants and payment processors encounter concerns and hurdles when dealing with the sale of diverse pharmaceutical drugs. Among the prevalent challenges observed during the underwriting of online pharmacy merchant account applications are chargebacks, violations, and TMFs.

2

Online Pharmacies face high merchant fees

Online pharmacy businesses encounter elevated costs, largely due to being classified as higher-risk merchants. This classification substantially inflates the expenses associated with payment solutions.

 

3

Compliant with regulations

In order to get a merchant account, you must get certified as a legitimate provider by an accreditation program such as LegitScript or NABP. This tells card networks such as Visa that your online pharmacy has been reviewed and certified to be operating in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
