About PayDiverse

The weight loss industry rakes in billions of dollars in the United States each year, and with the vast number of businesses offering nutraceuticals, health and nutrition supplements, and diet plans throughout the country, it’s really no surprise. In addition to the multitude of protein shakes and diet plans that are available to American consumers, the recent popularity of the Keto diet and supplements such as Garcinia Cambogia and Forskolin have created a boom in the industry that’s totally unprecedented.

Most merchants in the industry can attest to the fact that it’s extremely difficult to obtain an account that allows payment processing for diet plans, dietary supplements and other nutraceuticals. That’s because the industry has been deemed high-risk when it comes to payment processing due to its frequent high chargeback ratios.

Luckily, PayDiverse offers high-risk merchants selling health and nutrition supplements or weight loss programs the opportunity to process credit card and debit card payments. Our merchant accounts include plenty of features that have been specifically designed to protect high-risk merchants from account closures and fraud, all at an affordable rate.

Payment Processing for Diet Plans and Dietary Supplements

PayDiverse works hand in hand with merchants who sell health and nutrition supplements, nutraceuticals, and diet plans to effectively prevent fraud and chargebacks while safely processing credit and debit payments. Our payment gateway is simple to use and our online portal allows merchants to remotely manage their account seamlessly. Some of the features of our high-risk merchant accounts include:

• Secure payment gateway
• Pinless Debit
• Fraud prevention and protection

Chargeback Prevention Methods

Another practice that has lead to high chargeback ratios for the industry is the “free-trial business model” that so many diet program and weight loss supplement merchants utilize. These free trials make merchants vulnerable to chargebacks. With these free-trials, customers agree to allow a charge on their credit card at the end of their free trial, which may be as long as 30 days with many merchants. Often after the customer has taken a few days to try the product or service they’ll move on and forget to revoke their authorization. Once the charge appears on their credit card, many of these customers request chargebacks from their credit card issuer instead of requesting a refund from the merchant.

PayDiverse protects merchants from these unwarranted chargebacks with our real-time chargeback alerts. These alerts give merchants the opportunity to dispute the chargeback by promptly providing proof of authorization to their payment processor or to the customer’s issuing bank. PayDiverse provides full support to merchants throughout the dispute process.
