High Risk Merchant Account Payment Processing
Get approved for payment processing when PayPal, Stripe, and Shopify say no.
Your CBD store got banned. Your supplement merchant account was terminated. Your kratom business can’t find a processor. Shop Ave provides payment processing for high risk industries that mainstream platforms reject.
Payment Processing Built for High Risk Merchants

Why Payment Processors Terminate High Risk Accounts
Mainstream processors ban high risk merchants because they can’t manage:
Chargeback rates | Your industry averages 1-3% chargebacks. Standard processors cut you off at 1%.
Regulatory requirements | CBD needs THC testing. Supplements need FDA disclaimers. Adult products need age verification. Generic platforms don’t handle compliance.
Reputational risk | Banks and card networks pressure processors to drop entire product categories. You operate legally but get terminated anyway.
Unpredictable revenue | Subscription models and trial offers trigger fraud flags even when transactions are legitimate.
