The mistake that stalls more peptide brands than any other: building the store on Stripe, Square or PayPal because they are easy to set up. Here is what their own published rules say: Stripe: pharmaceuticals and peptides are a restricted category. A large number of peptides are prescription only, and Stripe has to pre-approve the merchant before you sell them. PayPal: its Acceptable Use Policy bans products that present a risk to consumer safety, and says prescription items need approval first. Selling in a category that requires approval without having it is prohibited. Square: its payment terms list high-risk products and services as unsupported, along with online pharmacies. What that means for you: if you open the account under a different category, or just leave peptides out, you are taking a real risk. Processors can freeze funds, hold payouts and close accounts, and your customers are the ones left waiting. What to do instead: apply with a processor that reviews peptide businesses up front and approves you for the category before you launch. That is high-risk processing. It takes an application and underwriting, and approval is the processor's decision.

Welcome to Peptide Solutions, Jordan, Kala and Bill, and everyone else who joined this week. Glad you are here. This group is for two kinds of people: people who want to learn about peptides, and people building a peptide brand. Learners are just as welcome as business owners. For brand builders, we help with a website in 5 days or less, payment processing started in 3 days, and wholesaler connections. Three quick ways to get started: 1) Open the Classroom tab and take the free course, FDA Peptide Warning Letters, Explained. It shows what the FDA flagged on 23 peptide websites. 2) Comment below and tell us where you are: just exploring, have an idea, have a brand name, or already selling. 3) Message me directly with your questions and I will point you the right way. Question for everyone: what brought you to this group today? Are you here to learn about peptides, or are you building a peptide brand? Either answer is welcome. This is education, not legal or medical advice.
