Restricted businesses
We accept almost all types of businesses, but due to legal and policy restraints certain types of businesses are restricted and require pre-approval by us and some we simply can't support either due to legal reasons, limits from our payment network or due to unacceptable risk.
To be eligible to use Paylike, your business must, no matter what, be fully legal and may not offer illegal products or services.
The below business segments are a non-exhaustive list and require pre-approval by Paylike before the opening of an account and processing of transactions. If you are in doubt if your business is in a restricted segment or somehow limited by the card network's, get in touch before opening an account.
