YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you need a high-risk payment gateway?

A high-risk payment gateway is crucial because regular payment services often shy away from supporting businesses that are considered high-risk. And when they do, they charge high processing fees.

A specialized high-risk payment processor helps you tackle the unique challenges presented by these sectors, offering tailored solutions, robust security against fraud, and ensuring compliance with ever-evolving regulations.

How do high-risk payment gateway solutions differ from low-risk ones?

High-risk payment gateway solutions differ from their low-risk counterparts mainly because they are tailored to industries prone to financial challenges. 

While low-risk solutions cater to conventional businesses with minimal transaction risks, high-risk gateways specialize in navigating challenging sectors such as adult entertainment, CBD and cannabis, and online gambling.

These solutions employ advanced fraud prevention, stricter security measures, and specialized expertise, ensuring seamless payment processing for businesses facing elevated complexities and regulatory uncertainties.

Why can't I just use PayPal, Venmo, Stripe, etc.?

PayPal, Stripe, Venmo, and Square are not high-risk friendly, have restricted policies and higher transaction fees, and can suspend accounts and freeze funds without warning.

How much does a high-risk payment processor cost?

The cost of a high-risk payment processor varies based on factors such as industry, transaction volume, and specific service features. Due to the elevated risks associated with high-risk businesses, fees might be 0.5% to 1% higher than those for low-risk processors.

Which payment methods are higher risk?

High-risk payment methods typically include those with a higher likelihood of fraud or disputes. Credit cards are often considered medium risk, while bank transfers and digital currencies like Bitcoin may be higher risk due to their irreversible nature and potential anonymity, making it harder to trace fraudulent transactions.

Does my business need a high-risk payment gateway?

Determining the need for a high-risk payment gateway depends on your business’s risk profile. If your business operates in a riskier industry with more chargebacks or regulatory complexities, getting a high-risk payment gateway might be a good idea.

Consider the following:

  • Is your business in an industry known for frequent chargebacks?
  • Does your sector face regulatory complexities or scrutiny?
  • Have you experienced a history of fraudulent transactions?
  • Are there challenges in securing payment processing solutions with traditional providers?
  • Are the processing fees from standard gateways significantly impacting your profitability?
  • Does your business require enhanced fraud prevention measures?

If the answer is yes to one or more of the above, your business likely needs a high-risk payment gateway.

What are the risks associated with a payment gateway?

The main risks associated with a payment gateway, especially for high-risk industries, include:

  • Fraud: There’s a higher chance of fraudulent transactions, where someone might use stolen credit card information.
  • Chargebacks: This is when customers dispute a charge and ask their bank to reverse it. High-risk industries often see more disputes and, consequently, pay larger chargeback fees.
  • Legal and regulatory: High-risk industries often face changing laws and regulations, which affect how they accept payments.
  • Security concerns: Payment gateways are prime targets for cyberattacks, risking unauthorized access to sensitive financial data.
  • Downtime and technical glitches: System outages or technical glitches can disrupt payment processes, causing customers to be inconvenienced and businesses to lose revenue.

To mitigate these risks, businesses should prioritize robust security measures, stay updated on compliance requirements, and choose reputable high-risk payment gateways with a proven track record.

These specialized gateways are equipped to handle the challenges that come with riskier businesses, offering extra protection against fraud and catering to the specific needs of such industries.

How do I know if my payment gateway is safe?

To determine whether your payment gateway is secure, begin by verifying if it uses SSL/TLS encryption, indicated by “https://” in the URL, to guarantee the secure transmission of data between users and servers.

Then, check for compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which sets essential requirements for safeguarding cardholder information.

Evaluate the authentication measures in place, such as two-factor authentication (2FA), to prevent unauthorized access. They should also implement tokenization, a process that replaces sensitive data with unique tokens, reducing the risk of data exposure during transactions.

Lastly, consider the responsiveness and effectiveness of customer support in addressing security concerns and resolving issues swiftly.

Which payment gateway is best for e-commerce?

For e-commerce businesses in high-risk industries, FastoPayments stands out as an ideal payment gateway. The specialized merchant and payment services cater specifically to high-risk sectors, providing secure transactions, protection against chargebacks and fraud, and 24/7 personalized support.

However, the same degree of personalization and care is guaranteed for businesses in lower-risk industries. The ability to integrate with platforms such as Shopify and WooCommerce also makes FastoPayments an appealing option for those looking to centralize their operations.
