Payment Processors
A structured view of healthcare merchants before and after onboarding.
Payment processors evaluate healthcare merchants against categories that shift quickly — subscriptions, prescription products, provider models, refund exposure. ScriptClear's review is designed to give processor risk teams a consistent reference across merchants, and to keep that reference current after onboarding.

Onboarding challenge
Healthcare merchants describe themselves inconsistently.
The same clinical model can be described as a subscription service, a telehealth platform, or a supplement brand depending on which page a reviewer lands on. ScriptClear's review reconciles those descriptions into a single, evidenced picture of the business.
- Healthcare business identity across every public-facing page
- Whether marketing describes a regulated service accurately
- Consistency between checkout language and terms of service
- Whether the provider or pharmacy model is disclosed at all

Framework
From application to evidence package.
- 1
Business-model mapping
The merchant's care, dispensing and fulfillment model is documented in plain terms a risk analyst can act on.
- 2
Claims and disclosure check
Website and checkout claims are checked against subscription, refund and cancellation practice.
- 3
Funds-flow documentation
The path from payment to service delivery is evidenced where the merchant can support it.
- 4
Evidence package
Findings, documentation references and monitoring configuration are compiled into a package the processor can act on.
Subscriptions and refunds
The two areas that generate the most processor risk.
Recurring billing and refund handling drive a disproportionate share of chargeback and complaint volume in healthcare. Review specifically checks that subscription and refund language shown to the cardholder matches what support teams actually do.
- Trial-to-paid conversion disclosures
- Cancellation flow versus advertised cancellation ease
- Refund eligibility for partially fulfilled prescriptions
- Consistency between checkout, confirmation email and terms
After onboarding
Monitoring and evidence packages that stay current.
Once a merchant is certified, ScriptClear can monitor the pages and terms most relevant to processor risk and alert an authorized processor when they change materially, so evidence packages don't go stale.
- Alerts for subscription-term or refund-language changes
- Alerts for new claims or new state availability
- Refreshed evidence packages on a defined cadence
FAQ
Questions we hear often
- Does certification guarantee processor approval?
- No. Processors make independent underwriting decisions. Certification and evidence packages are designed to inform, not replace, that decision.
- Can a processor require certification as a condition of onboarding?
- A processor may choose to request certification or a diligence report as part of its own underwriting policy; that decision belongs to the processor.
- What if the merchant isn't yet certified?
- A diligence pilot can still review a merchant's website, claims and funds flow independent of full certification status.
