Home / Pharmacy Merchant Accounts

Partner with a pharmacy processing specialist

In recent years it has become increasingly difficult for online pharmacy merchants to open a pharmacy merchant account. If you are a pharmacy merchant, you will find it is near impossible to find a domestic processor to take on your business. This is due to online pharmacies being categorized as high risk merchants.

This high risk classification has come about because of a number of rogue merchants selling banned substances. As a result of this illegal activity and to protect their interests, MasterCard for example fine payment processors hundreds of thousands for each instance, where it is proved that a processed payment was for a banned substance. This means pharmacy merchant account processors such as intabill have to vigilantly monitor merchants, otherwise risk huge fines.

intabill welcomes pharmacy merchants; however we require merchants sign and view a banned substance/product list confirming they are not, or will not, sell anything on the list. This list is constantly updated, and pharmacy merchants must adhere to all updates.

If you are a nutrition or herbal supplement based merchant you may in some cases be able to process through domestic banks; however sites selling any type of pharmaceutical or medicinal product will in most cases have to use an offshore merchant processor such as intabill.
