Why merchants switch

A high-risk label shouldn't stop your sales

Processors flag whole industries as high risk, then decline the application, hold back your payouts or close the account with little notice. BBWholesale is built for the merchants they won't serve.

Typical high-risk processors
  • Weeks of underwriting, then a decline for your industry
  • Rolling reserves that hold back 5–10% of your sales for months
  • Accounts frozen or terminated with little warning
  • Payouts that take days to reach your bank
  • Long contracts, setup fees and early termination fees

FAQ

Common questions

What makes a business high risk?

Processors label a business high risk because of its industry, its chargeback rate, recurring billing, large order sizes or a short processing history. Being high risk doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. It means mainstream processors don't want the exposure.

I've been declined or shut down by another processor. Can I still apply?

Yes. Being declined or terminated elsewhere doesn't rule you out. Apply or book a consult, tell us what happened, and we'll give you a decision the same day.

Do you hold a rolling reserve?

No. Each sale pays out to your wallet in full, less the 4% transaction fee, within minutes.

How do my customers pay?

Customers pay with their debit or credit card through PayPal, Cash App or Venmo, the apps many of them already use every day.

How do I get paid?

You get paid in stablecoins sent to your wallet on the Polygon network. Stablecoins are pegged to the US dollar, so you avoid typical crypto price swings, and you can convert them to dollars through the exchange of your choice.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract and no setup fee. Membership is $100 a month plus 4% per transaction, and you can cancel any time.

Does it work with my website?

If you use WooCommerce, install our plugin. For anything else, our API connects to your checkout. Not sure which fits? Book a consult and we'll walk you through it.
