The peptide payment processing alternative

The processor cycle every peptide store knows

None of it reflects your business. It is how the card model treats categories it does not want to underwrite:

1. Approved, then re-reviewed. You clear underwriting, volume ramps, then a risk review flags the category.
2. Frozen balances. The account closes with your money still inside, on someone else’s timeline.
3. Rolling reserves. A slice of every sale held back for months, as if your own revenue were the risk.
4. Start over. New processor, new underwriting file, same ending.

A different shape, not another processor

The freeze-and-reserve playbook needs a middleman holding your money. Peer Pay removes the middleman instead. There is no merchant account: Peer Pay is software, payments move directly from your customer to you, and Peer never holds, controls, or transmits the money. There is nothing to freeze and no balance to reserve against.

• Verified, not trusted. Every payment is confirmed by cryptographic proof before your order is marked paid.
• Paid the moment it verifies. Funds arrive in USDC, in a self-custodial wallet you own and control. No holding periods, no payout schedules.
• Familiar for your customers. They pay with the everyday apps they already use, across 40+ currencies. Nothing new to install or learn.
• One-way settlement. Once a payment verifies, settlement is final. Refunds are transactions you initiate from your dashboard, not disputes filed against you.

There are no setup fees and no monthly minimums, and more than $20M has settled through the Peer protocol.

How a payment works

1. Share a link or use your store. A payment link, the WooCommerce plugin, or an embedded checkout on your site.
2. Your customer pays in their app. Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal and more. No new account, no crypto on their side.
3. Proof verifies the payment. A cryptographic proof confirms the payment before the order is marked paid.
4. USDC lands in your wallet. A self-custodial wallet you own and control. No holds, no payout schedule.

FAQ

Is Peer Pay a peptide payment processor?

No. Peer Pay is checkout software, not a payment processor or merchant account. Payments move directly from your customer to you, verified by cryptographic proof; Peer never holds, controls, or transmits the money.

My processor dropped my store. How fast can I be live?

Create an account with your email and run a test order in free demo mode, then talk to us about going live. Merchants can be live the same day.

Which payment apps can my customers use?

Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, Revolut, Wise, Monzo, Chime, Mercado Pago and Alipay, across 40+ currencies.

How do I receive my money?

Directly from your customer, the moment the payment verifies. Funds arrive in USDC, in a self-custodial wallet you own and control. No holding periods, no payout schedules.

Do my customers or I need to know crypto?

No. Your customers pay in the app they already use. On your side, funds arrive as USDC, a dollar stablecoin, in a wallet you own, and the dashboard tracks orders and payouts for you.

How do refunds work?

Settlement is one-way: once a payment verifies, the funds are yours. When you want to refund a customer, you initiate the refund from your dashboard as its own transaction.

Can research-use-only peptide suppliers use Peer Pay?

Peer Pay is available to lawful businesses. Research-use-only products carry their own regulatory obligations, and those stay yours: Peer Pay provides software, not legal or compliance advice. Onboarding starts with a conversation about your store and how you sell.
