Content on opening and maintaining a nutraceutical merchant account for supplements (vitamins, herbal products, sports nutrition). We cover underwriting & onboarding checklists (KYB/KYC, website compliance, T&Cs, refund/return policy, customer support contacts, fulfillment SLAs, ingredient/label claims compliance and COAs), typical acquirer asks (MCC/MID, clear descriptor, rolling reserves/volume caps), and stack design (gateway/orchestrator, 3DS2/SCA, AVS/CVV, network tokens, retries).
High-risk specifics: trial/continuity billing (CIT→MIT, dunning, reminders), friendly-fraud reduction (descriptor testing, clear cancel flows, Ethoca/Verifi alerts, CE 3.0 evidence), APM coverage by region (Open Banking/SEPA, ACH/eCheck/RTP, wallets), sanctions & AML/KYT, and analytics to lift approval rates while staying within scheme rules. Also: product/claims rules across US/EU (FDA/FTC, EFSA), and practical documentation sets for smoother approvals with PSPs/acquirers.
