Why We Are Committed to Supporting Pet Product Businesses

The pet industry encompasses a diverse range of products, from toys and apparel to vitamins, pet food, and medications, catering to the needs of millions of pets worldwide. Despite the lucrative nature of this market, many payment processors shy away from providing services to pet product companies for several reasons:

  1. Regulated Products: Pet products often include regulated items like medications or vitamins that could potentially be consumed by humans, leading to hesitancy from banks and processors due to the associated regulatory complexities.
  2. Online Transactions: A significant portion of pet product sales occurs online, which is typically viewed as high risk by merchant services due to the absence of the card and cardholder during transactions.
  3. High Chargeback Rates: Issues like incorrect delivery, size mismatches for pet clothing, or dissatisfaction with the efficacy of supplements and medications can lead to a higher incidence of chargebacks.

These factors cause many merchant service providers to avoid partnering with pet product businesses, regardless of whether they sell online, in-store, or act as manufacturers, wholesalers, or distributors.

At Moneybox, we have made it our mission to support the pet product sector from the very beginning. We leverage our strong connections with credit card processors and banks that are equipped to handle regulated industries. Furthermore, we integrate robust chargeback and fraud prevention tools, enabling us to offer dependable, long-term credit card processing solutions for pet product businesses, whether they are retail, e-commerce, or handle phone orders.

Please note, this is NOT a complete list; Moneybox Merchant Services Inc. serves hundreds of additional mid and low risk industries, too. We do not have a full list of industries we can work with, instead we keep a list of business that we currently can not support. See our FAQ page for more info. If the opportunity is right we will of course try to be considerate.

Sorry, we are unable to provide merchant services for foreign or offshore businesses, or any company that is headquartered, or operates, outside of the USA. We are also unable to provide merchant services for any business whose owner does not have a valid SSN and US issued identification (driver’s license, US passport, etc). That said we are working to fix this issue and should have a solution early 2025.

Yes, your startup or new business can be approved by Moneybox Merchant Services for a merchant account. We love startups! While newer businesses without processing history sometimes encounter hurdles when it comes to approval, Moneybox has helped many brand new businesses get their start in payment processing.

A high-risk merchant account is designed for businesses deemed as “high-risk.” These types of businesses have a greater likelihood of chargebacks, fraud, or other financial risk factors. High-risk businesses require such accounts to be able to accept credit and debit card payments.

Various industries are considered high-risk because of their inherent attributes. Some examples include CBD (Cannabidiol) products, e-cigarettes, vape products, stun guns, credit repair services, multi-level marketing, adult products/services, pawnshops, dietary supplements, SEO services, and tech support.

No central authority determines a business’s high-risk categorization. Every payment processor or bank sets its own standards, often based on internal risk management criteria. Providers assess businesses based on several detailed information bits to ascertain risk levels.

Factors contributing to a high-risk business include being a new business, having poor credit records or low credit scores, operating in controversial or highly regulated industries, relying heavily on international sales, and previous placements on the MATCH list by payment processors.

High-risk merchant accounts differ from regular accounts in several ways such as having a longer application process, higher payment processing fees, cash reserve requirements, volume caps in credit card processing, higher chargeback fees, and additional requirements based on the business type.

A high-risk business should ensure it maintains healthy cash levels, tries to reduce chargebacks, discloses all relevant information during the application process, keeps its financial documents ready, and adheres to the guidelines set by its payment processor.

A high-risk business can find a suitable merchant services provider by researching and listing down payment processors that cater to their industry. Businesses should consider factors like the processors’ experience in their industry, processing fees, equipment provided, customer support, experience with businesses in the same industry, and support for diverse payment methods.

Moneybox Merchant Services Inc. may not cater to all high-risk businesses (e.g. CBD merchants). It offers an upfront underwriting process that identifies risk factors early, saving the merchant time and potential costs. However, if Moneybox cannot service a particular business, they may recommend a processor better suited to your needs.

Fast Service, Unmatched Customer Service

“We changed our website and needed to get a new processor fast. Their prompt service and secure system are unmatched. We have been using their services for a while now and have never had any issues. In fact, they even require us to call them once a year to ensure our system is up to date. As our business continues to grow, we are excited to explore the many options that Moneybox has to offer, including a point-of-sale. They have been our go-to solution for everything, from terminal issues to website processing security. We couldn’t be happier with their exceptional service.”

Simply Amazing Technical Support

We were starting a new business and needed a reliable company to process our credit card payments. After some research, we found Host Merchant Services and began working with them in January 2021. The staff has been very helpful, and we’ve had positive experiences with both the Compliance team and technicians. We process payments in person using a terminal, and the service and machine have been excellent with no issues.
