Nutraceutical Merchant Accounts

Nutraceutical merchants often have difficulty finding online credit card processing because of their business model. With high chargebacks and continuity billing, some banks consider nutraceutical merchants too high of a risk.
Instabill, however, has offshore banking partners that provide quality nutraceutical merchant accounts.

Chargeback prevention for nutraceutical merchants

There are three reasons why the nutraceutical industry draws a fair amount of chargebacks:

Free Trials: Free trials, whether it be 30, 60 or 90 days, are great to draw customers. Some consumers, however, just want the freebies and forget when the trial expires, yet the nutra merchant begins to bill the consumer’s credit card. As a result, the consumer phones his/her credit card issuer to dispute the charges and files a chargeback.

Recurring Billing: The consumer arranges to be billed monthly for delivery of products, becomes dissatisfied and forgets to stop the automatic monthly payments to his/her credit card.

Automatic Renewal: At the end of a subscription, the merchant automatically renews with the consumer’s credit card. The consumer forgets about the automatic renewal, discovers it when reading his next credit card statement and disputes the charges with his/her issuer.

Through Instabill’s regular blog posts on chargeback prevention, merchants can discover the tools and tactics to effectively handle them.

Nutraceutical merchant account fees

The fees Instabill charges are contingent on several factors: The merchant’s processing history, industry type (high or low risk) and/or projected sales volume, to name a few. Each merchant account is different, but typical fees include:

• Merchant Account Fee
