What we set up, and what each part is for.

An account without a gateway is not a payment system, and a gateway without chargeback management is a ratio problem waiting to happen. These are the pieces, and the pages say plainly which ones you actually need.

Where a spec table would normally carry a rate, a fee or a settlement time, it says set at underwriting instead. Those figures are real, they are just not ours to publish before your file exists.

If you only take three

The minimum viable stack for a restricted vertical.

High-risk merchant accounts

A merchant account is the thing everything else hangs from: the agreement between you, an acquiring bank and the card networks that lets you take a card and receive the money. In restricted verticals the difficulty is never the technology. It is finding a sponsor bank whose written policy covers what you sell, and getting terms that survive the first portfolio review.

Payment gateway

The gateway is the layer your site talks to. Its job is to keep card data out of your systems, hand the transaction to the right acquirer, and give you one API regardless of how many merchant accounts sit behind it.

Chargeback management

In a restricted vertical, chargeback ratio is not a metric — it is the condition of your account. Cross a card-brand monitoring threshold and you enter a programme with fines, remediation plans and a clock. The point of chargeback management is to never get there.

Before anything sensitive changes hands, we will tell you whether a route exists for your vertical, roughly what shape it takes, and what underwriting will ask you for.
