Why Coaching is Often High-Risk
Banks and processors frequently classify coaching and consulting as high‑risk because transactions are high‑ticket, expectations can be subjective, and most payments are card‑not‑present. That combination leads to more disputes and chargebacks than typical low‑risk retail.
High‑Ticket and Emotionally Driven Purchases
Clients may invest thousands in business, life, or fitness coaching and later dispute charges if results feel different than expected.
Refund and guarantee misunderstandings can quickly turn into “service not as described” chargebacks.

Mostly Online & Recurring Payments
Many coaching models rely on remote sessions, online programs, and monthly or installment billing.
Card‑not‑present, subscription, and installment payments are all viewed as higher risk by underwriters.

Reputation & Compliance Sensitivity
“High‑ticket coaching” has attracted regulators and card‑brand attention when marketing and outcomes are misaligned.
Banks want clear terms, disclosures, and compliant marketing before approving these merchants.
