How to Get Started with Payfac Solutions
Getting your high-risk merchant account approved is simple. Here's how our onboarding works:
Mainstream crypto gateways like Coinbase Commerce and BitPay reject high-risk merchants just like traditional processors do. Payfac Solutions is built differently.
We provide crypto payment processing specifically for high-risk businesses — adult content, online gambling, CBD, dating platforms, nutraceuticals, offshore ecommerce, and more. Accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and 50+ cryptocurrencies worldwide, with automatic conversion to fiat so you’re never exposed to price volatility.
What you get:
Accept BTC, ETH, USDT & 50+ Cryptocurrencies
Automatic Crypto-to-Fiat Conversion
Approved Even If Rejected Elsewhere
Global Coverage — 150+ Countries
High-risk merchants face a double rejection. Traditional card processors won’t touch you — and now mainstream crypto gateways are following the same playbook, restricting or banning industries they consider too risky.
If any of this sounds familiar, you need a specialist:
Payfac Solutions works exclusively with high-risk merchants. We have pre-established relationships with crypto payment networks and acquiring banks that understand your industry — and support it long-term.
Our high-risk crypto payment gateway is built for businesses that need stability, speed, and global reach — without the fear of sudden account termination.
Accept the world’s leading cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), and 50+ more. Give your customers the payment flexibility they expect while you receive stable, predictable settlements.
Price volatility is the #1 concern for merchants accepting crypto. Our payment gateway automatically converts incoming crypto payments to your preferred fiat currency — USD, EUR, or GBP — at the point of transaction. You get the benefit of crypto acceptance with the stability of fiat settlement.
Prefer to settle in stablecoins instead of fiat? We support USDT and USDC settlement directly to your wallet — giving you faster access to funds with zero volatility risk and no traditional banking delays.
Process crypto transactions from customers in 150+ countries. Whether your buyers are in North America, Europe, Asia, or the Middle East — our gateway handles cross-border crypto payments with no geographic restrictions.
Every transaction passes through real-time AML screening, blockchain transaction monitoring, and fraud detection filters. Our compliance framework meets international AML/KYC standards — protecting your business and keeping your account in good standing.
Integrate our crypto payment gateway with your existing platform in days:
A dedicated technical specialist manages your integration from start to finish.
Running a subscription model? Our recurring crypto billing module handles automated crypto charges, retry logic, and subscription lifecycle management — rare in crypto payment gateways and essential for subscription-based high-risk businesses.

Getting your high-risk merchant account approved is simple. Here's how our onboarding works:
Yes. Accepting cryptocurrency is legal in most jurisdictions worldwide. High-risk businesses such as adult content platforms, online gambling operators, and CBD retailers can legally accept crypto payments provided they operate within their local regulatory frameworks.

Yes. Coinbase Commerce and BitPay reject high-risk merchants using the same automated systems as traditional processors. Payfac Solutions works exclusively with high-risk businesses and has specific gateway relationships built for your industry. Previous rejections from mainstream crypto gateways do not disqualify your application.
No. Our automatic crypto-to-fiat conversion means your customers can pay in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, or 50+ other cryptocurrencies — and you receive the equivalent in USD, EUR, or GBP directly to your bank account. You never need to hold, manage, or convert crypto yourself unless you choose to.
We support 50+ cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Dogecoin (DOGE), and many more. Contact our team if you need a specific coin — we add currencies based on merchant demand.
Fees vary based on your industry, monthly volume, and chosen settlement method. Typical components include a per-transaction processing rate and a monthly gateway fee. Crypto processing fees are generally lower than traditional card processing for high-risk merchants — with no rolling reserve in most cases. We provide a full transparent fee breakdown before you sign anything.
Most merchants are approved within 3–7 business days after submitting KYC documents. This includes merchants who have been previously rejected by Coinbase, BitPay, or traditional card processors.
Yes. Many of our merchants run both a crypto payment gateway and a traditional high-risk credit card processing account through Payfac Solutions — giving their customers maximum payment flexibility and reducing dependency on any single payment rail.
