Finding a stable, high-risk merchant payment processor for a low-volume high-ticket fashion resale e-commerce site, after mainstream processors freeze accounts and other high-risk processors reject due to low volume.
Existing processors either freeze high-risk accounts (Stripe, PayPal) or have high minimum volume requirements (Durango), leaving low-volume high-risk merchants with few stable options.
