If you run a kava store, lounge, or online kava shop, obtaining a merchant account tailored to your industry is crucial for operational success.

Why Traditional Payment Processors Fall Short for Kava

While major payment platforms are convenient for standard businesses, they often become a roadblock for kava merchants due to rigid, automated risk-assessment protocols.

Other providers (Stripe, Square, PayPal):

  • Auto-decline kava merchant accounts, categorizing them as high-risk.
  • Enforce strict, generic compliance with little industry understanding.
  • Often freeze funds or terminate accounts with little recourse.

2Accept:

  • Built from the ground up for high-risk, high-growth businesses.
