Why Supplement Businesses Are Switching to Cryptocurrency Payments

The Supplement Payment Problem

Dietary supplement and wellness product businesses face unique payment processing challenges. Traditional processors classify them as "high-risk" due to FDA regulations, leading to 5-7% fees, rolling reserves, and frequent account terminations.

Why Traditional Processors Avoid Supplement Businesses

• FDA scrutiny: Processors fear regulatory liability
• Health claims: Concerns about marketing compliance
• Chargebacks: Higher dispute rates than average merchants
• Subscription models: Recurring billing increases risk profile

The Cryptocurrency Advantage

1. Dramatically Lower Fees

Traditional processing: 5-7% + monthly fees
Crypto payments: 0.5% + $0.01 network fee

Example savings on $50,000 monthly sales:

• Traditional (6%): $3,000/month
• Crypto (0.5%): $250/month
• Savings: $2,750/month ($33,000/year)

2. Zero Chargebacks

Crypto transactions are final. This eliminates:

• Chargeback fees ($25-$100 each)
• Product loss from fraudulent disputes
• Risk of account termination due to chargeback ratio

3. No Banking Restrictions

Crypto operates outside traditional banking:

• No merchant account needed
• No compliance reviews of product claims
• No sudden account freezes
• Complete payment processing independence

Stablecoins: Crypto Without Volatility

The key to accepting crypto without price risk is using stablecoins like USDC:

• Always worth exactly $1.00
• Backed by US dollar reserves
• No volatility - perfect for business transactions
• Can be converted to USD anytime

1. Create crypto wallet (5 minutes)
2. Register with VirdisPay (5 minutes)
3. Add payment button to your site (5 minutes)
4. Start accepting USDC immediately
