SCARBOROUGH, Maine, March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Organic Payment Gateways, a trusted provider of credit card processing, payment gateways, and merchant account services for regulated businesses, has announced tailored, specialized payment processing for medical spas—commonly known as medspa payment processing.The new service specifically addresses the challenges medspa owners face when traditional providers such as Square, Stripe, PayPal, or even their local bank decline or close their merchant accounts due to their regulated nature or "high-risk" classification.Medspa owners frequently experience merchant account shutdowns or payment gateway application declines because their treatments are deemed high-risk by typical payment processors. Services like weight-loss injections (semaglutide, tirzepatide, Wegovy, and Mounjaro), hormone replacement therapies, laser treatments, sexual health treatments, anti-aging skincare, and cosmetic procedures commonly trigger these difficulties, causing significant business disruptions and frustration for practice owners.With extensive experience assisting regulated industries—including CBD merchants, telemedicine providers, online pharmacies, supplement sellers, and hydroponics businesses—Organic Payment Gateways now brings their expertise to medspas. Their solutions seamlessly integrate into popular website platforms and e-commerce systems such as Shopify, WooCommerce, ClickFunnels, and BigCommerce, as well as medical billing software like OptiMantra and KiviCare. Additionally, their merchant accounts support stand-alone point-of-sale (POS) terminals, allowing medspas to accept both online and face-to-face payments smoothly.Alex Roy, owner of Organic Payment Gateways, emphasizes the importance of personal support when working with medspa businesses. "Honestly, I've spoken with so many medspa owners who are just plain exhausted and frustrated. They've been suddenly dropped by their bank or Square or others, and they just want to get back to taking care of their clients
