PeptideApprove provides the merchant services and is partnered with the acquiring bank. The acquiring bank sponsors card-network access and money movement. PeptideApprove is the merchant-services company the merchant works with.
Qualification, onboarding, and ongoing support are PeptideApprove's work. Settlement runs through the acquiring bank it is partnered with, and that bank's processing partners.
PeptideApprove does not publish a card rate. Pricing, fees, and reserves are confirmed in writing after underwriting and partner approval.
Any rate a merchant sees inside the application flow is part of that application, not a public price list. The cost calculator on this site estimates a bill from numbers you type in. It is not a PeptideApprove quote.
No LegitScript is required for compliant research-use-only retailers using PeptideApprove's merchant services. Clinical, pharmacy, telehealth, and patient-care models may require healthcare compliance credentials and are reviewed on a separate path.
That is how these merchant services are offered with the acquiring bank PeptideApprove is partnered with. It is not a claim about every bank or network. Merchants are still responsible for their own legal compliance. PeptideApprove does not provide legal advice.
