## What acquirers look at

Nutraceuticals carry high dispute rates, driven by trial and subscription offers and by product claims. Acquirers look closely at your offer structure, marketing claims and refund policy.

- **Compliant product claims.** Marketing that does not make disease or cure claims your regulator does not allow.
- **Transparent offers.** Trial and subscription terms shown clearly before purchase, with explicit consent to rebill.
- **Refund and cancellation policy.** Easy cancellation and a refund policy your support team actually honours.
- **Product documentation.** Ingredient lists, labels and supplier or manufacturing information.
- **Processing history.** Statements showing your refund and dispute rates, if you process today.

## How Orchestrapay helps

1. **Acquirer Network.** One KYC application, sent to the acquirers in our network of 40+ that board nutraceutical and supplement brands, pre-matched to each acquirer's boarding rules and aware of MATCH status. Approval is always the acquirer's decision.
2. **Never depend on one processor.** Run several merchant accounts behind Smart Routing, with failover when one is paused, and keep your customers' cards in a vault you own.
3. **Keep your accounts.** Chargeback Alerts, Dispute Deflection, VAMP & MATCH Management, 3D Secure and the Antifraud Engine keep dispute and fraud ratios under the card scheme thresholds.

You must hold the licenses and registrations your markets require.

## FAQ

**Why is nutra treated as high risk?** Trial offers, recurring billing and health claims lead to more disputes than most retail. Acquirers price and board it accordingly.

**Can I run trial offers?** Yes, with clear disclosure and consent. Visa and Mastercard have specific rules for trials and subscriptions; see our Free Trials & Continuity page.

**How do I keep my chargeback ratio low?** Chargeback Alerts and Dispute Deflection catch disputes before they count, and 3D Secure moves fraud liability on risky payments.

**Can I spread volume across accounts?** Yes. Smart Routing splits traffic by percentage across your merchant accounts and fails over when one is paused.

**What if I already have a high dispute rate?** Tell us your numbers. We match your application to acquirers whose rules fit, and the dispute tools help you bring the rate down.
