High Risk Merchant Accounts For Authorize.net

An Overview

Get A High Risk Merchant Account That Seamlessly Integrates With Authorize.net.

Authorize.Net (sometimes colloquially known as Auth.net) is a USA-based payment gateway provider that allows merchants to accept credit card and electronic check payments. The company was founded in 1996 and is now a subsidiary of Visa Inc. Authorize.Net provides services to 400,000+ merchants, with over 1 billion annual transactions totaling $140+ billion in payments.

Why Do Some Businesses Need A High Risk Merchant Account To Integrate With Their Payment Gateway?

Your business may use ecommerce software (or another type of software) that uses Authorize.net as the default payment gateway. In that case, you would likely want a merchant account that integrates with Authorize.net. Beyond that, your business may require a high risk merchant account — one that is compatible with Authorize.net — for one of two reasons:

  1. Industry Is High Risk
    Your business operates in an industry to which some banks or underwriters refuse service. This categorization is somewhat subjective (and may change over time), but in general, a “high risk” categorization may encompass industries such as supplements & nutraceuticals, vape products, firearms, etc.
  2. Previous Chargebacks
    Your merchant account has received multiple chargebacks within a relatively small sample size of transactions. Depending on your transaction volume, even two or three chargebacks within a month could trigger an automated or manual review of your merchant account.

Why Do So Many Authorize.net Users Choose Soar Payments For Their Credit Card Processing?

  • Soar Payments specializes in merchant accounts for high risk and hard to place businesses. So your unique business can get approved and processing “ASAP.”
