Payment processing built for coaches and consultants

Coaching and consulting businesses take large payments for outcomes that depend partly on the client. That combination — high ticket values and subjective results — makes ordinary processors nervous.

Structure Payments underwrites the category directly, so a high-value program, a payment plan or a membership does not put your ability to take payments at risk.

Why it's different

Why coaching businesses need high-risk processing

The refund dynamics of outcome-based services are what drive the classification.

  • High-value transactions

    A single program can be worth thousands, so one chargeback carries the weight of many ordinary retail disputes.

  • Results-based refund requests

    Clients can request refunds when results are not achieved, even where the service was delivered exactly as described.

  • Refund volume concerns lenders

    Financial institutions look at aggregate refund rates, and coaching businesses often sit above the threshold they are comfortable with.

  • Expectations of guaranteed outcomes

    Where clients expect a guarantee, dissatisfaction converts into disputes more readily than in product sales.

  • Client follow-through

    Outcomes depend on the client doing the work. When they do not, the service provider is frequently blamed — and disputed.

  • Payment plans and instalments

    Splitting a high-ticket program across payments is standard practice here, and the account is underwritten for it rather than flagged.

Common questions

Coaching & Info merchant accounts, answered

Can coaches and consultants get a merchant account?

+

Yes. Coaching and consulting businesses can be approved through a high-risk processor, including those selling high-ticket programs and instalment plans. Structure Payments underwrites the category directly, with most accounts live in about 48 hours.

Why is coaching considered high risk?

+

Because transactions are high in value and the outcome is partly dependent on the client. Refunds are requested when results are not achieved, and the resulting refund and chargeback volumes sit above what mainstream processors accept.

Can I offer payment plans for a high-ticket program?

+

Yes. Instalment and payment-plan billing is supported as standard, alongside memberships and recurring program fees.

Will I be asked for a rolling reserve?

+

Possibly, depending on your volume, ticket size and dispute history. Where a reserve applies, the terms are set out in writing up front rather than imposed after you have started processing.
