for / high-ticket coaches

$5k–$50k coaching program? Every card processor treats you like an infomercial defendant.

High-ticket coaching, masterminds, and business-training programs at $5k+ AOV are the single highest chargeback-dollar category card processors board. 'It didn't work' disputes on $10k+ transactions trip VAMP thresholds on volume that would be trivial in other verticals. Card acquirers apply 15–25% rolling reserves. Stablecoin doesn't have a per-transaction dispute ceiling.

Our routing + wallet stack clears the full 100 — the ROI conversation stops being about basis points and starts being about the 18% of gross you’re currently leaving on the table.

// where the current model breaks
$5k+ AOV amplifies every chargeback into a VAMP threshold event

Even a single $10k dispute in a month of $200k processing volume trips the 0.9% VAMP threshold. Card acquirers price that risk into reserves.

'Results not as promised' is the most common dispute reason

Coaching outcomes are subjective; 'I didn't get the results promised' is difficult to represent under Visa CE 3.0. Chargebacks come in months after the sale.

Payment plans compound reserve exposure

3-pay and 6-pay structures on $10k+ programs mean the reserve is calculated on 3–6x the invoice amount. Working capital gets locked at multiples of AOV.

// why the cashier works for this vertical
  • No per-transaction dispute exposure — on-chain payments are final.
  • Payment plans run as wallet-authorized recurring debits, no card-rail reserve multiplier.
  • 'Results not as promised' is not a chargeback category on-chain.
  • Same-day settlement means the $10k lands as working capital immediately.

Questions operators in this vertical ask.

How do we handle legitimate refund requests?

Refunds are operator-initiated outbound payments. You retain full decision authority — refund on your policy, not on a third-party dispute committee's timeline.

Can we still offer payment plans on high-ticket programs?

Yes — scheduled wallet debits execute automatically on agreed dates. The client authorizes the recurring debit at enrollment; the platform executes on schedule.

What about deposits held while a client 'thinks about it'?

Deposits work identically — stablecoin transaction with same-day availability, refundable at your discretion.
