LegitScript Alternatives (That Are Working in 2025)
LegitScript Isn’t the Only Way Smarter Options for Merchants Under the Radar
Heard this before?
"Sorry, we can't approve your merchant account until you're LegitScript certified."
For supplement brands, wellness products, SARMs, peptides, or anything considered "unapproved" that message is everywhere.
But here’s the truth nobody tells you:
You don’t need a badge to process you need a system that actually works.
What Is LegitScript, Really?
LegitScript is a third-party certification program that processors use to verify your site’s compliance with health product policies.
It’s mostly used for:
- Nutraceuticals
- Peptides
- CBD
- Supplements
- SARM-style compounds
But here’s the problem it’s slow, costly, and doesn’t guarantee approval.
In fact, some merchants get certified…
Then still get flagged months later because of chargebacks, payment flow, or vague policy violations.
Why Many Legit Merchants Skip LegitScript
Getting certified is tough, especially if:
- Your product doesn’t fit clean FDA/FTC language
- You ship internationally
- You don’t want to expose your business model
- You’re scaling quickly and don’t have time to wait
And even if you get it, most of your payment issues come from processors not your badge.
The Trap: "I Can't Process Without It"
This is the myth that keeps merchants frozen.
Here’s the reality:
- Many of our clients are scaling past $100K/month with no LegitScript
- Some are on stealth setups
- Others are using crypto ramps, offshore routing, or hybrid flows
They’re not breaking laws.
They’re using smarter payment architecture outside the box, inside the rules.
LegitScript Alternatives (That Are Working in 2025)
- GhostVault for merchants who want to keep using Stripe or PayPal, but stealthily and without exposure.
- BlackVault for merchants ready to scale via offshore high-risk accounts with higher stability.
- Crypto to Card Payouts for merchants that don’t want bank exposure, but need USD/fiat output.
- iBan Offramp for EU-style crypto-to-bank routing with no onboarding friction.
- Fiat-to-Crypto Onramp for brands banned by Stripe, who want to accept card payments again (via crypto).
These aren’t fake hacks.
These are vetted solutions used by real merchants doing real volume.
Not Everyone Needs LegitScript But Everyone Needs Trust
If you're scaling a non-certified product, ask yourself:
- Is my processor stable?
- Am I one bad review or refund spike away from a freeze?
- if I lose my gateway tomorrow, do I have a fallback?
Trust isn’t about logos — it’s about infrastructure.
