Payment Infrastructure

When payments stop growing your business

Mainstream processors often decline legal businesses in restricted categories. Here's what merchants face:

Unexpected shutdowns

Account closures without warning, freezing your cash flow overnight.

Reserves & delayed payouts

Rolling reserves holding 10-30% of revenue for months.

Platform-driven removals

Products or entire stores removed due to policy changes.

Checkout mismatches

Policy violations triggered by checkout flow discrepancies.

A payment route designed for high-friction categories

Fly Payments builds infrastructure around your business model, not against it.

Open Banking

Open Banking (UK)

Fast account-to-account payments with a clean user experience.

Card Payments

Card payments

Risk-aligned setup for merchants who need card acceptance.

Payment Links

Payment Links

Flexible link-based payments for support, invoices and fallback flows.

Checkout Readiness

Checkout & dispute readiness

Clear customer journey, refunds policy alignment, evidence-ready fulfilment.

Platform Restrictions

Not only payment issues. Platform restrictions too.

Some merchants lose products or entire stores due to platform policy changes. What is legal may still be removed. Fly Payments offers platform-neutral storefronts for merchants who require full catalogue control.
