Depending on the type of vitamin and wellness business that you operate can impact the payment methods you accept along with your associated fees.

Ever wonder how credit card companies decide which businesses fall into certain categories—and why it matters to your bottom line? That’s where Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) come into play.

An MCC is a four-digit code that identifies the type of goods or services a business provides. These codes influence everything from processing fees and interchange rates to taxes and payment processing options.

For vitamin & wellness businesses, the picture can get tricky. Typically, they’re classified under high-risk MCCs, which can lead to:

• Higher fees on credit card transactions
• Challenges in securing accounts with certain payment processors
• Restricted access to affordable payment solutions

Understanding your MCC and its impact can empower your agency to make smarter financial decisions and choose the right payment solutions.

How a Merchant Account Helps Your Wellness Business Grow

Accepting credit card payments provides the convenience that modern consumers expect. With a merchant account tailored to the vitamins and wellness industry, your business will experience:

• Streamline Payment Processing: Say goodbye to the headaches of high-risk payment hurdles.
• Simplify Credit Card Acceptance: Make it easier for clients to pay without added obstacles.
• Avoid Unnecessary Complications: Partner with a provider that knows the challenges you face.

A specialized high-risk merchant account sets your business up for smoother transactions, fewer disruptions, and more confidence when accepting payments.

Why Are Vitamins and Wellness Businesses Labeled High-Risk?

•  Vitamins and wellness businesses may be classified as high-risk for several reasons, including:
• High chargeback rates, particularly in the online sales model, where customers may dispute charges.
• Subscription-based services or recurring payments, which can increase the chance of cancellations or disputes.
• The wide variety of products and claims made in the wellness industry, leading to regulatory scrutiny.
• Large transaction volumes during product launches or promotions, increasing financial exposure.

For many wellness businesses, maintaining chargeback rates below 1% is crucial to prevent account shutdowns. This is where a high-risk merchant account can provide stability and security.
