Help with high risk services and payment gateways

[Nik Smith]

Hello everyone,

I am new here, but after a lot of searching I was not able to find a similar thread, so I am starting this one.

I am trying to sell a service online and get paid via Credit/Debit cards, but most of the big payment gateways consider the service as "high risk" and decline my application.

I even tried to apply with a few "high risk" gateways, but the result was the same.

The service is in the travel industry and I know that all of my competitors with the exact same service are using these big payment gateways.
I don't understand how they got approved without lying to the payment gateway or giving a fake website.

I really don't want to mislead the payment gateways.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

You will probably have to be less than 100% truthful to get approved.

I was also searching for "high risk" payment processor that can pay me in BTC but still dont find something like that. If anyone knows some good company please share.

Do you have anything to offer to the payment providers in collateral? Most of the high-risk processors that I know, charge substantial setup fees to enroll clients.

I agree with 70-30% from every sell just to be paid in crypto...

@Nik Smith , when you say "travel industry", what is the exact service that you offer?

PSPs will never be confident in this business vertical because they have a big risk exposure if you have fraud attacks.
You can try Bambora, they are focused on OTA/travel merchants but they usually take big volumes.
Let me know if it works by directly contacting them (if not, I can send you a contact from them and it might be easier to be onboarded)
