Who it's for
“High-risk” shouldn't mean second-rate checkout.
Legitimate merchants get declined, frozen, or terminated every day because of their category — not their conduct. NorthScout was built for exactly these businesses: a polished, mainstream payment experience with underwriting that fits your vertical.
Your customers see a checkout indistinguishable from any premium brand's. You get reliable, automatic settlement on every verified order.
CBD & hemp
Card acceptance without the processor roulette.
Nutraceuticals & supplements
Stable processing for restricted wellness verticals.

How it works
One page for your customer. Zero infrastructure for you.
01
Customer checks out
A hosted page carrying your brand. Stripe Link authentication, identity verification, and card payment in one streamlined flow.
02
Returning customers skip steps
Link recognizes verified customers, so repeat buyers don’t repeat identity checks. Just confirm and pay.
03
NorthScout verifies the order
Every order requires Stripe fulfillment evidence plus a second, independent verification of funds before anything settles.
04
You get paid automatically
Verified orders settle straight to your designated account — digital dollars (USDC), with a dedicated settlement address per order.
Features
Everything a payment stack should do. Nothing you have to build.
No payment, identity, or settlement systems to develop internally. Plug in and start taking orders.
Hosted, merchant-branded checkout
Your name, your logo. Authentication, identity verification, and payment on one page.
Stripe Link authentication
Familiar sign-in and returning-customer recognition, managed entirely by Stripe.
Stripe-managed identity & cards
Identity verification and card collection handled by Stripe — never touching your systems.
Automatic settlement
Every verified order settles to your designated account automatically, with a dedicated settlement address per order.
WooCommerce gateway
A drop-in payment gateway for WooCommerce stores. No custom development needed.
Merchant API & signed webhooks
A straightforward API for custom stacks — built-in duplicate-payment protection, signed requests, and automatic webhook retries.
Merchant dashboard
Payment timelines, settlement status, and transaction receipts for every order.
Monitoring & reconciliation
Automated retries, reconciliation, and operational alerts — every order accounted for.
Simple for customers
One-page checkout, clear payment status, confirmation, and a clean return to your store. No wallets, nothing new to learn.
Reliability & security
Destinations fixed before checkout. Verified twice before settlement.
Payment destinations and fees are locked before checkout begins and cannot be redirected afterward. No order settles without both Stripe's fulfillment evidence and NorthScout's own independent verification of funds.
Behind the scenes: duplicate-payment protection, verified system messages, automatic retries, payment reconciliation, operational alerts, and a clear timeline for every payment.
