Pricing
Pricing is confirmed after underwriting.
PeptideApprove does not publish a card rate. Final pricing, fees, and any reserve are confirmed in writing after KYC/KYB review and partner approval. There is no public volume ladder on this page. How pricing works and the cost calculator explain the difference between an estimate and an agreement.
Simple approval path
From application to approval without a compliance scavenger hunt.
Our peptide specialization keeps the review simple. If your merchant profile qualifies, final onboarding uses the core KYC/KYB items requested by the sponsor-bank process, and eligible merchants can be approved within 48 hours.
We review peptide eligibility
We check the legal entity, the owner, the website, and the settlement account before the file goes to underwriting.
Submit core items upfront
EIN, government ID, proof of address, formation documents, and a bank statement for the settlement account.
Start processing
Approved merchants receive processing setup, settlement options, and payout configuration.
What you can offer customers
More than card acceptance. A full payout and routing stack.
Reliable credit card processing
Built for research-only peptide businesses that need stable card acceptance without being treated like a generic ecommerce store.
No LegitScript required for RUO
Compliant research-use-only retailers can apply without LegitScript. Clinical, telehealth, or patient-care models are reviewed under a separate compliance path.
Payout flexibility
Standard settlement runs on a T+1 schedule, with Push to Card and Real-Time Payments available for accelerated merchant payouts.
Peptide processing expertise
We specialize in peptide merchants, so our review process is built around the products, claims, compliance details, and bank questions that matter in this category.
High card approval rate
Our peptide-specific review helps qualified merchants avoid mismatched underwriting and unnecessary decline paths.
Embedded checkout, no redirects
Keep customers on your checkout flow with embedded payment options instead of sending them through a distracting external redirect.
ACH and wire payout options
Add payout flexibility beyond standard card settlement, including ACH and wire support where approved.
Card issuance
Issue customized physical or virtual debit cards directly in the customer or merchant name where program rules allow.
Reserve optimization
Qualified merchants may be eligible for reserve structures that better match their volume, chargeback history, and compliance profile.
Stable long-term processing
We plan processing with stability in mind so growing peptide merchants are not dependent on fragile, short-term approval paths.
Why merchants choose us
