Discuss your project

High-risk merchant specialists

A closer look at
your line of work.

Vape, CBD, firearms, adult businesses, travel and more. Explore payment services shaped around your business model.

Know the products.
Connect the payments.

A mixed catalog and different sales channels need a closer look. Build the merchant-service review around what you actually sell, then plan checkout and reporting.

Start with the
whole catalog.

Payments that fit
your operation.

Retail sales, online orders and transfer-related workflows can create very different needs. Assess the merchant-account fit and connect the payment records to the work.

Gun shops / Ecommerce / Transaction records

From the first order
to the next refill.

One-time purchases, bundles and replenishment need consistent payment and order records. We help assess account needs and build the supported connections.

Product catalog / Autoship / Reconciliation

Make recurring
work understandable.

Enrollment, billing, access and cancellation are separate events. Connect them deliberately so your team can follow renewals and resolve exceptions.

and fulfillment together.

High-risk ecommerce needs more than a payment button. Plan account fit, order updates, fulfillment evidence and reporting around your business model.

Start with your statement

Know your
true rate.

A percentage tells a clearer story than a stack of fees.

Divide your total processing fees by your card sales for the same period. This is your effective rate: a starting point for understanding what you pay.

This calculation describes your statement. It is not a quote or a savings estimate.

A few things you might ask

Let’s clear
that up.

Have something else in mind?
We’re happy to talk

Do I have to switch payment processors?

No. We start by understanding the setup you already have. The right next step may be improving your current workflow or reviewing other options together.

Do you work with high-risk businesses?

Yes. Joseph has more than three years of experience assisting merchants in high-risk industries with processing, underwriting and payment continuity. We review your situation before recommending next steps; approval depends on the provider’s underwriting.

Where do you work?

Stratamize serves businesses nationwide. Based in Newnan, Georgia, we work with merchants across the United States on payment processing, business consulting, custom development and technical support.

Who will I be working with?

You’ll work with Joseph and the Stratamize team. Joseph brings the founder’s perspective and hands-on business and development experience; together, we help assess your needs, define the work and carry it through to implementation and support.

How do we get started?

Tell us what you’re trying to improve. We’ll talk through the situation and put the scope and next steps in writing before work begins.

Let’s make the next move.

Where does your
business get stuck?

We’ll work out the way through.
