Our partners at Authorize.Net are committed to the success of our clients, so you’ll never have to worry about being labeled a high risk merchant again.
What Does High Risk Mean?
Banks and other lenders refer to certain types of businesses as a high risk factor when they feel it’s not in their own best interest to approve their merchant account. Businesses that fall under the category of high risk are often service providers with no inventory that can be used as collateral or businesses that trade in a commodity that has not yet proven its worth in the market. You may be considered high risk if your business falls under one of the following headings:
- Cannabis or CBD
- Memberships or subscriptions
- Online gambling
- Financial or legal services
- Travel or hospitality
- Health or wellness
- Cryptocurrency exchanges
- Computer hardware and software

Is PayPal Enough?
PayPal’s logo on your website is typically not enough to gain the confidence of potential customers and clients, and while it can offer a boost to your sales, you’ll still need to have major credit card logos on your site, as well. With approval from Merchant Focus, you can accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover transactions, and still keep your PayPal button as an alternative payment method for buyers who prefer the security of PayPal payments. If you have additional questions, feel free to reach out to a Merchant Focus specialist.
