High-ticket coaching and consulting businesses often face payment challenges due to high average ticket sizes, refund risks, and chargeback exposure. Traditional platforms like Stripe and PayPal frequently freeze accounts or hold funds when a client pays $5,000+ for a program. High Wire Payments helps established coaches process large transactions securely while maintaining low fees, fast funding, and dedicated merchant support.

Why Coaching Businesses Are Considered High-Risk

Coaching transactions are often classified as high-risk because they combine digital goods, future fulfillment, and subjective value. When clients dispute outcomes or request refunds, banks scrutinize these transactions more heavily. For this reason, many mainstream processors automatically flag coaching accounts after a few high-ticket payments.

Large average transaction values ($2K–$25K+)
Chargeback exposure due to intangible services
Refund requests tied to “results-based” guarantees

Recommended Gateways for Coaching Programs

Most coaching merchants integrate their merchant account with either NMI or Authorize.net for secure, PCI-compliant payment routing. These gateways also support CRM and funnel tools commonly used in coaching, such as ClickFunnels, Kajabi, and GoHighLevel.

NMI for flexible integrations and rebill tracking
Authorize.net for proven reliability and fraud filters
Options for text-to-pay and invoicing portals

How to Get Approved

Underwriters review coaching businesses differently from physical product stores. Providing full transparency about your offer and refund policy helps speed up approvals and reduce reserves. Upload the following with your application:

Business formation document and EIN letter
Bank letter or voided check
3 months business bank statements
Sales funnel or website link with program details
Sample contract or terms of service

Once submitted, an account manager will finalize setup and provide your gateway credentials.
