Who This Is For
A Specialized Program for a Specialized Vertical
If you sell GLP1s (e.g. semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide), peptides, or research supplements online, by phone, or by mail, you need a processor that understands your vertical. This isn't a generic card-not-present product, it's a specialized program with underwriting, compliance support, and tools built for high-risk CNP sales.
Many banks and processors classify GLP1 and peptide merchants as high-risk. Working with a partner that knows your space is essential for approval, stable reserves, and long-term account health.

Why It Matters
Why GLP1 & Peptide Merchants Need Specialized Processing
Generic processors often decline or shut down accounts when they see "peptide," "GLP1," or high-risk CNP volume. Here's why a dedicated program matters.
High chargeback and dispute exposure
Subscription and high-ticket CNP sales often see more disputes. Processors that understand your vertical set realistic reserves and use tools to reduce chargebacks.
Regulatory and compliance scrutiny
FDA and state rules around claims, labeling, and distribution matter. We work with programs that expect proper positioning (e.g. research-use-only) and clear disclosures.
Account stability, not quick approvals
Some processors approve then shut down accounts when volume or chargebacks spike. We focus on underwriting and reserve structures that are sustainable long term.

Compliance
Website Requirements for LegitScript-Aligned Programs
To stay compliant with current program and bank expectations, GLP1 and peptide merchant sites are generally expected to follow these guidelines:
- Active LegitScript certification is required for current program availability.
- Clear indication of licensed care model, including provider oversight and prescription workflow where required.
- Transparent disclosures for subscriptions, cancellation, refunds, shipping, and customer support.
- Compliant product and service descriptions aligned with LegitScript and sponsor-bank underwriting standards.
- No deceptive claims, no unsubstantiated outcomes, and no copy that conflicts with your approved treatment model.
- Patient-facing marketing and testimonial usage must follow applicable legal and platform requirements.
- RUO/research-only positioning is not accepted for current placement programs.
You are responsible for your own compliance with FDA, state, and card network rules. We can outline best practices and connect you with programs that understand your vertical; we recommend working with legal or compliance counsel for claims, labeling, and distribution.
