§09 Compliance RequirementsCheck each box to confirm you've read and agree. Meeting these is a condition of approval and of staying active. They are not legal advice and not a guarantee against FDA, FTC, state, or card-network action — consult your own counsel. AsherPay provides payment facilitation only; nothing here endorses your products.
Minimum Processing Volume — Required
A minimum of $25,000 in monthly processing volume applies beginning in Month 1 . If the minimum is not met at the end of the first 30 days — or in any month thereafter — a $2,500 shortfall fee applies and the account will be closed .
I understand the $25,000/month minimum applies from Month 1, and that missing it in any month results in a $2,500 shortfall fee and account closure. Labeling & COAs — Required
"For Research Use Only" and "Not for human consumption, medical, or veterinary use" on every label, vial, and package. A current Certificate of Analysis (COA) on file for every batch, retrievable on request. No language implying FDA approval, "therapeutic grade," or suitability for human use. Website — Required
RUO / "not for human consumption" disclaimer on the homepage, every product page, the cart, and checkout — not just the footer. Standard FDA disclaimer present: "These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." Age gate at entry — 21 and up. Checkout acknowledgment confirming the purchase is for lawful research use only. Business name on the site matches the descriptor customers see on their card statement. Kept off the site entirely: human dosing instructions, reconstitution or injection guides, dosing calculators, before/after photos, personal-use testimonials. Claims — Prohibited Everywhere (Site, Email, SMS, Social, Paid Ads, Affiliates, Influencers)
No disease claims — diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent. No human-body claims — weight or fat loss, appetite, muscle growth, insulin, recovery, anti-aging, healing, energy, libido. No comparisons to approved drugs ("research-grade Ozempic," "generic tirzepatide," "same as [brand]"). No efficacy, results, or performance language aimed at buyers. No clinical or medical framing on consumer-facing pages. Injection Supplies — Required
Do not sell or bundle insulin syringes or needles alongside your products. Pairing injection supplies with peptides is one of the clearest signals regulators use to argue a product is meant for human injection. Marketing, Affiliates & Influencers — Required
The claim rules above apply to every channel and partner — affiliates and influencers included. Put the rules in writing with them; you are responsible for what they say. No ads that violate the platform's own policies. Processing Integrity — Required
Keep your MCC and statement descriptor accurate. Sell only what you disclosed during underwriting — no other businesses or undisclosed products through the account. Post a clear refund and return policy. Keep your chargeback ratio under card-network thresholds; chronic disputes lead to reserves or termination. Name a point person for compliance questions. Records — Required
Keep business registration, supplier records, COAs, and buyer acknowledgments organized and retrievable.
