Merchant application
Tell us how your business operates
TronchFi reviews your application before creating a Stripe connected account. Internal approval does not guarantee Stripe approval.
Expect a compliance review before processing
In our experience, roughly 9 out of 10 applicants need website changes before they are ready to process. That is normal. We will send you specific recommendations so your site accurately represents your business and is not mistaken for a different business model.
If you sell research-use-only lyophilized reference materials for laboratory settings, your catalog, claims, policies, and overall site structure must consistently present the business that way. Processor automated systems will review whether the site matches that model.
After our review, you will receive an email that lists every required change directly in the message. Forward it to your developer or web designer and use it as the implementation checklist.
Identity and bank details stay with Stripe
TronchFi collects business-review information. Stripe-hosted onboarding collects legal identity, ownership, tax, and payout details only after internal approval.
Terms at a glance
Know the economics and eligibility rules before you apply
Mastercard issues more card-network fines than the other networks and they land on the merchant, so we do not carry it. American Express is also unavailable. Plan your checkout around Visa, Discover and the wallets above. Subscriptions are off by design rather than missing: recurring delivery of research materials reads as personal consumption, which is the opposite of what your catalog needs to present. Running a paid members’ club is a different business and has its own processing — ask us.
Why will Stripe allow research peptides?
Stripe treats many peptide businesses as restricted or ineligible. Its current policy says some research-peptide merchants may be supported when effective controls prevent access by nonresearch purchasers. That is the compliance standard this application is built to evaluate. Stripe reviews every account independently, and approval or continued processing is not guaranteed.
