There are subscription boxes for everything.

Subscription boxes have been booming since 2019 and look set to continue to do so. With almost everything moving to digital platforms today, subscription boxes bring back the nostalgia of waiting by your mailbox for your postman to finally deliver your long-awaited package of goodies. Subscription boxes seem like a perfect marriage between the digital and analog worlds.

For entrepreneurs, the growth of the industry heralds many opportunities to capitalize on the subscription box model. Although the barrier to entry is relatively lower than other industries, there are still challenges that business owners should be aware of.

Are subscription boxes considered high risk?

Due to the higher credit card chargeback rate, the subscription box business model is known as a high-risk payment processing industry. Customers request recurring payments for many reasons, but the most popular reason is because of the continuity and subscription-based payment model.

This doesn’t mean there are payment processing experts who will work on your behalf to get the best rates for your high-risk subscription box merchant account. You guessed it, those experts are us here at PayKings.

With PayKings payment processing solutions, you can clearly develop your subscription box business plan. The possibilities are endless as there are tons of subscription boxes for basically every need. Some boxes are practical and designed for a wide range of demographics, and there are truly unique boxes designed for a niche audience. We did some research and picked our favorite subscription boxes here.
