Why This Matters
93% of merchants get banned without warning.
Most bans happen because merchants picked the wrong processor for their business model.
• Stripe is amazing for SaaS. Terrible for CBD.
• PayPal is great for low-ticket. Disaster for dropshipping.
• Square is perfect for local. Useless for global.

Our recommendations are based on your industry, region, and risk profile - not on commission rates. We prioritize processors most likely to approve your business.
AI Disclosure: PSP approval predictions are AI estimates based on synthetic training data modeling industry patterns. Not actual merchant outcomes. MerchantGuard does not guarantee approval at any PSP. Actual approval decisions are made exclusively by PSPs based on their proprietary criteria. See our AI Transparency Policy for complete details.
