Payment Processing Challenges for Kratom Businesses
Understanding the unique obstacles kratom merchants face and how Kosipay solves them
High-Risk Classification
Despite kratom's legal status in many states, traditional banks and payment processors classify kratom businesses as high-risk, leading to account rejections or sudden terminations. Kosipay specializes in high-risk industries and provides stable, long-term processing solutions specifically for kratom merchants.
Regulatory Complexity
The complex and evolving regulatory landscape surrounding kratom creates compliance challenges for merchants. Our payment solutions include compliance tools and ongoing support to help you navigate federal, state, and local regulations affecting kratom businesses.
Excessive Fees
Many processors charge kratom businesses exorbitant rates and fees, taking advantage of the limited options available. Kosipay offers transparent, competitive pricing specifically tailored to kratom merchants, with no hidden fees or unexpected charges.
Chargeback Vulnerability
Kratom businesses face higher-than-average chargeback rates due to product confusion, customer skepticism, and card testing fraud. Our advanced chargeback prevention tools and customer verification systems help protect your business from disputes while maintaining your merchant account stability.
Banking Restrictions
Many kratom businesses struggle to find banking partners willing to support their operations. Kosipay has established relationships with banks that understand the kratom industry and are committed to serving compliant businesses, providing you with stable, long-term processing solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about kratom merchant accounts and payment processing
Why are kratom businesses considered high-risk by payment processors?
Kratom businesses are classified as high-risk due to several factors: varying legal status across different states, regulatory scrutiny from the FDA, inconsistent product quality standards, higher-than-average chargeback rates, and reputational concerns from payment networks. Kosipay understands these unique challenges and provides specialized services to mitigate these risks while maintaining reliable payment processing.
What are the processing rates for kratom businesses?
Processing rates for kratom merchants typically range from 4.0% to 6.0% plus a small per-transaction fee, depending on your business model, processing volume, and risk profile. While these rates are higher than those for traditional retail, they reflect the specialized banking relationships required for kratom processing. Kosipay offers competitive, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and we provide custom quotes based on your specific business needs.
Do you require a rolling reserve for kratom merchant accounts?
Some kratom merchant accounts may require a rolling reserve, which is a percentage of your processing volume held in reserve to cover potential chargebacks. Not all accounts require reserves, and we work to minimize or eliminate reserves when possible based on your business history and risk profile. When required, reserves typically range from 5-10% and are fully returned to you after a predetermined period, usually 6 months.
What documentation is required to apply for a kratom merchant account?
For a kratom merchant account application, you'll typically need: business license and formation documents, bank statements (3-6 months), processing statements (if applicable), valid ID for all owners with 25%+ ownership, product lab testing results, age verification procedures, detailed product descriptions, clear return/refund policies, shipping policies (including state restrictions where applicable), and website or physical store details. Our application specialists will guide you through the exact requirements.
How do you help kratom merchants prevent chargebacks?
Our kratom merchant accounts include specialized chargeback prevention tools, including clear billing descriptors, detailed receipt confirmations, shipping confirmation systems, product education resources, and advanced fraud detection to minimize disputes. We also provide dispute management services that help you respond effectively to chargebacks when they occur, with industry-specific evidence templates and response strategies that address the unique challenges of kratom transactions.
How do your payment solutions handle shipping restrictions for kratom?
Our payment solutions for kratom businesses include address validation tools that automatically check shipping addresses against current state and local restrictions. The system can be configured to block transactions to prohibited locations, display customized messages to customers, and maintain proper documentation of compliance efforts. We also provide regular updates on changing regulations to help you stay compliant with shipping restrictions as laws evolve across different jurisdictions.
