Merchant accounts for weight loss programs, clinics, coaching services and supplement brands, with subscription billing, chargeback tools and no setup fees. Apply with confidence.
Weight loss programs, coaching services, clinics and supplement brands frequently face rejection from traditional processors. Monthly memberships, trial offers and auto-ship supplements create subscription billing risk, results-based marketing draws card-brand scrutiny, and customers who cancel late or forget a renewal file chargebacks. Those patterns push many weight loss merchants into holds, reserves or sudden account closures.
Daystar is a high risk merchant account provider with 20 acquiring banks across 4 continents that underwrite weight loss and wellness merchants. We approve 95% of qualified applicants, most decisions arrive within 24 hours, and most approved merchants are live within 3 business days, with no setup fees and no long-term contracts. Accounts can support one-time programs, monthly memberships, physical supplements and coaching packages.
Accept cards at clinics, gyms, nutrition centers and supplement stores with EMV and contactless terminals, and online for programs and products. Accounts are underwritten for the ticket sizes of multi-month programs and coaching packages as well as smaller supplement orders. Clear descriptors that name your brand help clients recognize charges and reduce disputes.


Our gateway integrates with your website, shopping cart and CRM platform, supporting program enrollment, supplement orders and upsells. A virtual terminal handles phone and mail orders, and AVS, CVV, 3-D Secure and velocity filters screen online orders. Chargeback-alert tools let you refund or resolve a dispute before it counts against your ratio.
Coaches, trainers and clinic staff can take payments on a phone or tablet at seminars, fitness events, health fairs and in-home consultations. Mobile acceptance records each payment in the same reporting as your online and in-clinic sales, and receipts go out by text or email so clients have a record of what they purchased.

Clients paying for multi-month programs or packages can pay by bank account. eCheck and ACH processing lowers your cost on larger program fees and gives clients an option beyond cards. ACH also works for recurring membership dues and provides a second rail if card processing is interrupted.

Monthly memberships, coaching subscriptions and supplement auto-ship programs run on automated recurring billing with documented customer consent. Card-updater and retry tools keep memberships active when cards are reissued. Clear trial terms, renewal reminders and easy cancellation help keep subscription chargebacks within acquirer limits. Pause options can also help retain clients.

Online programs, virtual coaching and supplement brands can reach clients worldwide. Multi-currency processing lets international customers pay in their own currency, and domestic and offshore processing options support cross-border sales. Multiple MIDs can separate coaching programs from supplement sales so each is underwritten on its own risk profile.
