Why Choose Daystar for Pharmaceutical Payment Processing
Pharmacies and pharmaceutical sellers sit in one of the most closely watched categories in card processing. Online prescription sales, cross-border orders and refills sold card-not-present draw scrutiny from card brands and acquiring banks, and many mainstream processors decline the category outright. Legitimate operators need a partner that understands licensing requirements and how to present a compliant business to underwriters.
Daystar works with 20 acquiring banks across 4 continents to place licensed pharmacies, compounding pharmacies, telehealth-linked dispensaries and over-the-counter health product sellers. As a high risk merchant account provider, we have a 95% approval rate among qualified applicants, most decisions arrive within 24 hours, and there are no long-term contracts. Chargeback and fraud tools come standard.

Credit Card Processing
Accept cards at the pharmacy counter for prescriptions, copays and over-the-counter purchases with EMV and contactless terminals. Card-present sales carry lower dispute risk, and a descriptor that matches your pharmacy name makes charges easy for patients to recognize on their statements. Integration with pharmacy management systems keeps sales and reporting in one place.

Payment Gateways
Sell refills and approved products online through a secure gateway with AVS, CVV and velocity checks. Underwriters expect online pharmacy checkouts to verify prescriptions where required, restrict products by jurisdiction and display licensing information, and we help you set up the site so it meets card-brand review.
Mobile Payment Apps
Pharmaceutical
Mobile Payment Apps
Delivery drivers and outreach staff can take payment at the door or at events with a phone or tablet. Mobile acceptance supports home delivery programs and keeps those sales in the same reporting as the store, with receipts sent by text or email. Collecting at delivery also confirms the patient received the order.
ACH and E-Checks
Pharmaceutical
ACH & E-Checks
Clinics, long-term care facilities and business accounts that buy in volume often pay by bank transfer. ACH and eCheck processing lowers the cost of those larger orders and offers a payment method with fewer disputes than cards. Scheduled drafts on net terms make it easier for facilities to pay recurring supply invoices on time.
Subscription Billing
Pharmaceutical
Subscription Billing
Refill programs, maintenance medication plans and health product subscriptions can run on recurring billing where permitted. Clear enrollment terms, renewal notices and easy cancellation help keep chargebacks low, and card-updater tools reduce failed payments when patient cards are reissued. Patients avoid gaps in their supply because payments are handled before each refill ships.
Sell Internationally
Pharmaceutical
International Sales
Pharmaceutical businesses with cross-border operations can use multi-currency processing and domestic or offshore banking options, subject to the laws that apply in each market. Cross-border sales of regulated products get extra review, so we look at licensing and shipping restrictions before setup. Settlement runs through our network of 20 acquiring banks on 4 continents.
