Online Subscription Merchant Credit Card Processing Services
Online subscription services businesses generate millions of dollars in tax revenue annually. It’s big business, so that’s not surprising. What is surprising is that many of these merchants face challenges in setting up basic credit card payment processing for subscriptions they sell on their websites.
It’s obvious that adult related businesses will face added scrutiny by financial institutions when seeking merchant services approvals. However, it can be a headache for some business owners to find a merchant account provider that is willing to work them even when their offerings are not related to the adult industry. Why?
Merchant Accounts for High Risk Businesses
Credit card processors that shy away from serving online subscription merchants simply due to the fact that these businesses are classified as high-risk merchants.
Firstly, all online merchants that process credit ‘card not present’ transactions are considered higher risk because it’s nearly impossible to verify that the purchaser is the actual cardholder. With all online purchases, there’s a chance that fraudulent transactions are being made with stolen credit card data.
Secondly, subscription websites have higher rates of chargebacks by customers. Subscriptions are non-tangible goods and charges are more readily disputed when services fail to meet customer expectations. Unfortunately, customers are more inclined to dispute a charge than contact the merchant to discuss refund policies.
A chargeback ratio as low as 3 in 100 is considered high. When a merchant account provider has a merchant with high customer chargebacks, they carry increased risk and can face penalties by the credit card associations. Merchants with a 3% chargeback ratio are likely to lose their merchant account and be left without a credit card processing solution.
