Online supplement stores face compounded payment processing risk because the card-not-present transaction type carries its own elevated risk classification on top of the supplement category's high-risk designation. Processors that serve online supplement merchants impose conditions that can include daily transaction limits, mandatory rolling reserves, extended settlement delays, and periodic compliance audits. These conditions make the economics of online supplement sales less favorable and the processing relationship inherently fragile.
Supplement payment processing through 27 Blockchain eliminates both risk factors from the payment infrastructure. The transaction confirms on the blockchain without passing through a card network, so the card-not-present classification does not apply. The supplement product category code does not exist in a crypto transaction. 27 Blockchain integrates the crypto payment option into the supplement store's e-commerce checkout, providing a payment channel that is not subject to the compounded restrictions that affect traditional online supplement processing.
