Essay Writing Merchant Account

Payment processing for a flourishing business, though, might be quite a challenge. The GEO-preferences and a high rate of chargebacks are to blame. Take a look at this article to find out how to open an essay writing merchant account easily.

Why is essay writing considered high-risk?
The riskiness of escort or CBD businesses is undeniable. The risks of essay writing services, in contrast, are more difficult to define. The business itself is not linked to any illegal substances or unlawful acts. The high rate of chargebacks and some geo-preferences, though, make it from the middle to high-risk. Take a look at this list to find out if your essay writing business is risky:
- You don’t have any processing history. This point is fair for any business. Processing history is a clear sign of your company’s financial health. The lack of thereof, in contrast, makes it complicated to find a PSP. At Ikajo, we can help you to get processed with no previous processing history. However, you have to own a European company and be ready to pay pretty high rates. Once you get three months of processing history, you can switch to a more affordable payment model.
- The high rate of chargebacks. The high rate of chargebacks makes a business high risk. In the essay writing niche, the chargebacks are inevitable. Thus, make sure to find a PSP with a PCI DSS and chargebacks prevention certificates. Otherwise, you might get locked down by banks. For those whose chargebacks rate is higher than 1%, finding a PSP become quite a challenge.
- U.S. market. The majority of essay writing merchants want to penetrate the U.S. market. It is not a big issue for American merchants. However, it is for Europeans. Especially for those who own companies that are registered outside the E.U.
