Big-ticket orders, underwritten for the size of the sale.

Most high-ticket e-commerce businesses have already been turned down by at least one processor before they find us — usually over the category alone, not their actual history. One fraudulent high-ticket order can wipe out the month’s margin. It’s a common frustration, and it’s exactly why we review your business case-by-case instead of issuing a blanket decline.

Frequently asked questions

How fast is approval?

One fraudulent high-ticket order can wipe out the month’s margin.

Underwriting for high-ticket e-commerce is priced around exactly that exposure — order-verification steps and fraud tooling appropriate to your average order value are part of the setup, not an add-on you have to ask for after a loss.

Is there a limit on how large a single transaction can be?

Accounts are underwritten against an expected average ticket and monthly volume, and transactions well outside that pattern can be held for review. Tell us your real ticket range up front so the account is sized for it rather than flagged by it.

Why does a delay between payment and delivery matter so much?

Dispute rights are tied to delivery timing, so a long gap between charge and fulfillment is the main risk factor on a high-ticket file. Underwriting will ask about your fulfillment timeline, and deposit or milestone billing is often the cleaner structure.

Should I take a deposit rather than the full amount up front?

For long lead times, usually yes. Billing a deposit at order and the balance at or near delivery aligns the charge with the delivery and reduces the exposure on both sides.

How do I protect a large order against fraud?

3-D Secure on qualifying transactions, address verification, and a manual review step for orders above your own threshold. On high tickets, a short delay for verification costs far less than a single fraudulent order.

Can I offer ACH or bank transfer for large orders?

Bank transfer can be a good fit for large tickets and carries a different cost and dispute profile than cards. Whether it fits depends on your buyers, and it is worth discussing during setup rather than after.

What documentation supports a dispute on a high-ticket sale?

Signed order documentation, proof of delivery with signature, records of customer communication, and your stated refund policy. Assemble these as a matter of routine, because reconstructing them after a dispute is filed rarely works.
