Reserves may apply, and any reserve is disclosed in your agreement before you sign.
  • Pre-underwriting review of your website, checkout, and documents (state pharmacy licenses, NABP or LegitScript accreditation, and DEA registration if applicable)
  • Application packaged and submitted only to acquirers with appetite for your category
