Your Subscription Merchant
Account Solution

Subscription services have grown exponentially over the last 5 years, and so has the number of subscription merchant accounts. Consumers value pricing and convenience above all else. Subscriptions will offer better pricing. When it automatically bills the customer doesn't have to spend their time making the same purchase month after month.

So whether you are selling physical products, digital goods, workout programs, or other accessories, subscriptions are a great way to retain customers. Especially long-term customers. Many of our merchants offer these subscriptions, and this has helped us become consistent in obtaining subscription merchant accounts.

Businesses that offer subscription continuity payment plans can be more difficult to place and are considered high-risk in today's payment processing standards. Securing a payment provider like Zen Payments for your subscription-based company makes it so you can process transactions quickly and efficiently. We work with banks that specialize in this industry and understand the risk involved. We've got your subscription continuity payment processing covered!

Subscription is
High-Risk

Subscription Continuity Merchant accounts are considered high-risk. This is largely due to the number of chargebacks that occur as well as the high volume of sales. As with anything in the payment processing world, when chargebacks are present, there is a risk.

The reason that Subscription merchant accounts are more prone to chargebacks is because of the amount of card-not-present transactions. The automated billing process also increases the chance of chargebacks and fraud. Whether it is people forgetting to cancel their subscriptions, cancel their free trials, or not realizing that they would be billed in perpetuity. As with any card-not-present transaction, the chance for fraud goes up as well.

The best way to protect your business from chargebacks and poor reviews is by having open transparent policies. When your customers understand your business model from the start and know they can get refunds easily, they are much more likely to talk to you, rather than filing a chargeback with their bank.

Because they know knew what to expect when signing up with you for your service, this is a best practice that we want all of our merchants to practice. Simply because the vaguer your policies are, the higher your chargeback rate will be.
