Offshore and domestic pharmacy merchant account solutions.
At QuadraPay, we believe in maximizing the application approval ratio for online pharmacy merchants. We have established a significant network relationship with local and offshore payment processors. Although both payment solutions are very similar, there is a vast difference between them. Let’s explore both options and how they can benefit your business.
Domestic Online Pharmacy Merchant Account Solutions
The processors in the merchant’s country of origin offer domestic pharmacy merchant accounts. With these solutions, our merchants can get speedy approval. A domestic pharmacy merchant account requires 5–10 days for approval. Local processors also offer very reasonable pricing in comparison to offshore processors. These solutions are very budget-friendly. A domestic solution is usually limited to one base processing currency, like USD. A domestic provider is more interested in supporting merchants to accept local payments. Merchants must submit at least a few months of processing history for domestic pharmacy processing. This kind of solution is a good fit for established businesses.
Offshore Pharmacy Merchant Account Solutions.
Offshore pharmacy merchant accounts are best suited for merchants accepting payments from a global customer base. These solutions help merchants expand their sales footprint outside their home country. Approval time frames are comparatively more prolonged and may require 7–12 days, as they require additional verification processes. With offshore pharmacy merchant accounts, businesses pay higher processing fees, but they get access to a large international market. Offshore solutions offer multiple processing currencies, which helps support customers from various nations.
These solutions are also open to merchants that are just starting up. Merchants also accept payments with multiple alternative payment methods besides regular credit and debit cards. Since offshore solutions are available to high-risk merchants, they may have better risk reduction tools and measures in place, as they are needed to deal with the international complexities of processing pharmacy transactions.
Our merchants look at factors such as target market, business size, and potential risk to determine if they need a domestic or offshore solution. Looking at these factors carefully helps our merchants make an informed decision.
KYC Documents for Online Pharmacy Merchant Account
The documents required for an online pharmacy payment gateway vary based on the provider and individual policies. In general, KYC documentation has the following categories:
Business Registration Documents: For a credit card processor, documents like a certificate of incorporation, a share distribution certificate, and an article of association help confirm that the merchant has a business with a legal and active structure. These documents help the pharmacy processor ensure that the merchant is legitimate, adequately registered, and complies with the legal requirements of doing business.
Proof of Address for Business: Recent utility bills and lease agreements confirm the physical existence of the online pharmacy company. Credit card processors use business address documents to check the company’s reliability.
Proof of Identity for Business Owners, Partners, and Directors: Merchants need to share a copy of their passports, driver’s licenses, or other national identity proof to verify the identity of key individuals associated with the pharmacy business.
Bank statements and previous processing statements: Recent bank and processing statements show the company’s financial health. Credit card processors check the statement to see if the merchant is financially strong enough to cover any unforeseen risk per its sales projections. The joint analysis of bank statements and processing history helps card processors establish the validity of the merchant’s previous processing history.
Business Operating License: The pharmacy license is one of the fundamental documents that a credit card processor will ask for to ensure the legality of the online pharmacy company. The license varies depending on the country of the merchant’s business registration. Additional certificates, like legitscript, are also mandatory for pharmacy merchants.
The above documents present a strong profile of the applicant company. These assure the merchant account provider that the pharmacy business is stable.
FAQ for Online Pharmacy Merchant Accounts
How can I ensure that my pharmacy merchant account stays active for a long time?
To maintain your pharmacy merchant account for the long term, you must avoid chargebacks and stay within the prescribed chargeback limits of the processor. The chargeback ratio should be below 1%.
What is the profile of a pharmacy merchant that QuadraPay loves to work with?
A merchant operating an online pharmacy should be serious and have a solid marketing plan to achieve profits. The merchants must be legitimate and have all the mandatory licenses and certifications required for online or retail pharmacy merchants. The seriousness and commitment to compliance lay the foundation for the strong growth of the pharmacy business.
Why is rolling reserve mandatory with pharmacy accounts?
Every high-risk business, including online pharmacies, must accept a rolling reserve to help payment processing companies pay for future chargebacks. Remember that, depending on the mode of transaction, the rolling reserve may not be applicable. For example, online pharmacies pay for rolling orders, but physical retail medical stores don’t.
How does pharmacy e-check payment processing work?
Many online pharmacies that find it hard to get a credit card processing account choose alternative payment methods. One such method is Echeck. The order processing on a pharmacy eCheck account involves several steps, including the customer filling out an order form and the merchant performing verification.
