Unlock Secure Payment Processing for Restricted Industries

Operating in a restricted industry often means facing challenges when it comes to finding reliable payment processing. Banks and traditional payment processors often label industries as high-risk, making it difficult for businesses to process payments without unexpected freezes or account shutdowns.

At 2Accept, we specialize in providing secure, compliant, and reliable payment solutions for businesses operating in restricted industries. Whether you're in CBD sales, firearms, adult entertainment, or other regulated sectors, our tailored solutions help you process payments seamlessly while staying fully compliant.

What Are Restricted Industries?

Restricted industries are businesses that face higher regulatory scrutiny, increased chargeback rates, or compliance concerns. This often results in difficulty obtaining payment processing services from mainstream processors like PayPal, Square, and Stripe.

Common Restricted Industries Include:

  • CBD & Hemp Sales
  • Firearms & Ammunition Dealers
  • Adult Entertainment & Dating Services
  • Nutraceutical & Supplement Sales
  • Tobacco & Vape Retailers
  • Online Coaching & Digital Services
  • Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)
  • Gambling & Casinos
  • Debt Collection Agencies

πŸ’‘ 2Accept Difference: We support regulated businesses with customized payment solutions designed for your industry's needs.

Challenges of Finding Payment Solutions for Restricted Industries

Restricted businesses often face unique payment challenges, including:

  • Account Freezes & Sudden Shutdowns

    Many mainstream payment processors freeze accounts without notice due to perceived risk, halting cash flow unexpectedly.

  • Limited Payment Options

    Platforms like Stripe and PayPal limit payment methods for high-risk industries, often only supporting credit cards without additional flexibility.

  • Increased Chargeback Rates

    Industries with higher refund rates may struggle with chargeback issues, leading to account suspensions.

  • Compliance Issues

    Businesses in regulated markets often face complex legal requirements, making compliance with PCI-DSS and KYC difficult.

πŸ’‘ 2Accept Solution: We provide proactive compliance tools, fraud protection, and customized solutions to prevent these issues.
