Stripe permits research-use-only peptides when preventive measures are in place. We install those measures, process your card payments, and scan the storefront every day so nothing drifts out from under you.
Stripe does not ban research peptides. It bans selling them with no controls — which is what almost every storefront does.
Peptides that are for research purposes may be sold on Stripe as long as there are preventive measures in place to ensure these are not accessible to those who would purchase research chemicals for nonresearch purposes.Stripe — Prohibited & Restricted Businesses FAQ
The same policy adds the part that closes most accounts: Stripe assumes peptides sold with no stated purpose are being sold for human consumption. An open storefront with a footer disclaimer is not a preventive measure. A checkout that only opens to verified research counterparties, records what each one attested to, and keeps that record exportable — that is what the condition asks for, and it is what we build.
Four controls, installed together. Each one produces evidence a reviewer can actually look at.
Before the store renders, every visitor confirms they are 21 or over and purchasing as a qualified research counterparty — a licensed researcher, clinical lab, CRO or credentialed institutional buyer. Not a dismissible popup. The catalog does not load until they clear it.
Blocks the access pathEach buyer signs a fixed, non-editable statement recording their counterparty type and that the purchase is for in vitro or laboratory research, under the intended-use standard of 21 CFR §201.128. Signed before checkout, not buried in terms.
Creates the recordEvery attestation is sealed into a hash-chained log with timestamp and IP, and checkpointed with us every hour. Any alteration breaks the chain and shows. Exportable as CSV the moment a processor, acquirer or auditor asks — which they will, and usually with a deadline.
Survives reviewEvery product page, policy page and blog post checked for dosing language, human-use framing, therapeutic claims and missing research-use labeling. Every day, hourly for changed pages, and instantly on save with our plugin installed.
Catches the driftReal card processing on your own merchant account. Not a crypto workaround, not an offshore gateway, not an invoice link.
Checkout lives on your domain. No redirect to a third-party page, no lost sessions, no drop-off at the moment a buyer is deciding.
Funds settle into your own Stripe account and pay out to your bank on Stripe's schedule. You are the merchant of record, your business name is what appears on your customer's statement, and we never hold your money at any point.
You hold the Stripe relationship. We connect to it — we don't sit between you and it.
Standard Stripe schedule to your account. No holdbacks, no reserve held by us.
Authorize through Stripe's own flow. No API keys to copy, nothing to configure by hand.
Available methods depend on your Stripe account configuration and eligibility. Buy-now-pay-later and wallet options are enabled per account.
Compliance first, then payments. We don't connect an account to a storefront that would fail review.
Full scan of your catalog, policy pages and blog. You get a written findings report — every issue with the page it's on, the exact sentence, and the correction. Plus a score you can watch climb as each one is cleared.
We remediate what the audit turned up, then install the gate, the attestation flow and the ledger on your storefront. Works on WordPress, WooCommerce, custom builds and most site builders.
One click through Stripe's own authorization flow into your own account. Card payment stays switched off at checkout until your account is cleared to charge, so nothing goes live prematurely.
From the moment you're live, every day, with hourly checks for changed pages. New critical findings are emailed to you the moment a scan finds them. Your dashboard holds current status, full fix history and an exportable compliance record.
On the page, where it belongs. No application required to find out.

Order count estimated at a $250 average order value. Your effective rate falls as volume rises, and drops again the month you cross $50,000.
No setup fee. No application fee. No minimum volume. The platform fee is assessed on your trailing month's processed volume, so it comes off automatically — you never have to ask. Cancel with 30 days' notice and your site, domain, content and full attestation ledger leave with you.
The four we get asked before anyone signs anything.
No, and neither can anyone else. Stripe underwrites every account individually and can review, restrict or close one at any time for reasons entirely outside our control.
What we do is put the evidence Stripe's policy asks for on the table: the access controls, the signed attestations, the exportable record, and a storefront with no human-use language in it. That is the condition the published policy names. The decision is always the processor's.
Anyone promising you guaranteed approval is either misunderstanding how underwriting works or hoping you don't.
Yours. You hold the account, you're the merchant of record, and your business name is what your customer sees on their card statement. Payouts go from Stripe straight to your bank on their normal schedule.
We never take custody of your funds. If you leave, your Stripe account and its entire history stay with you — there is nothing to unwind.
No. The gate and the monitoring work on WordPress, WooCommerce, custom builds and most site builders — a plugin where one fits, a single script tag where it doesn't.
Managed hosting is available and some clients move to us for it, mainly because it lets the scanner see content before it publishes rather than after. It is never a requirement.
If the audit finds the site is a structural problem rather than a copy problem, we'll say so and quote a rebuild. We won't quietly bill remediation hours against something that needs replacing.
Dosing, reconstitution and injection instructions. Human-use framing — second-person language about results, effects or experience. Therapeutic and disease claims tied to a compound. Testimonials and before/after imagery. Missing or inconsistent research-use labeling across product pages, cart and checkout. Consumer-retail signals like personal-use bundles. Broken or stale COA links. Gate bypasses through direct product URLs.
Every finding arrives with a severity, the page, the exact offending sentence and the suggested correction. You decide what to change; we're not editing your site behind your back.
Send your URL. We run the audit and come back with the findings in writing — before anyone talks about scope, price or signing anything.
