Why PayLivo

Built for businesses
others refuse to serve

Other gateways blacklist industries, freeze funds without notice, and terminate accounts overnight. We built PayLivo to be the opposite on every dimension.

Universal Acceptance

No industry blacklists. Nutraceuticals, adult, crypto, travel, gaming, firearms — all welcome.

5% Chargeback Tolerance

Industry standard is 1%. We give you 5× the breathing room with no termination threat.

Chargeback Alert System

Notified the moment a dispute opens — before it becomes a formal chargeback on your ratio.

Recurring Revenue Engine

Native subscription billing — retry logic, dunning, proration, and flexible cycles built in.

No-Hold Policy — Guaranteed

We never hold your funds. No rolling reserve. No freezes. Written into your contract.

Real-Time Dashboard

Full visibility into every transaction, dispute, and payout from any device, any time.

Our Core Promise

We will never
hold your money

Not for 24 hours. Not for 7 days. Not ever. No rolling reserve. No risk reserve. No exceptions. This is our founding principle — guaranteed in every merchant agreement we sign.

Testimonials

Merchants who found a home here

Real merchants. Real results. Real funds — never held.

★★★★★

After Stripe terminated us with zero warning and held $80k for 6 months, PayLivo approved us in 36 hours. They've never held a single dollar since. I can't overstate what that means for our cash flow.

Three processors dropped us in 18 months for chargebacks. PayLivo not only accepted us — their alert system helped us get our ratio from 4.1% down to 1.8% in 60 days. Complete game changer.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before applying.

Still have questions? Talk to our team →

What business types does PayLivo accept?
PayLivo accepts virtually every business type, including industries labeled "high-risk" — adult content, nutraceuticals, travel, subscription boxes, gaming, crypto, firearms accessories, CBD, and more. If other gateways have turned you away, we're built for you.
What exactly is the No-Hold Policy?
We will never, under any circumstances, hold your funds or place them in a rolling reserve. Your settlement schedule is agreed at onboarding and we stick to it — regardless of chargeback rate or volume. This guarantee is written into your merchant agreement.
How does the 5% chargeback tolerance work?
Most processors terminate accounts above 1% chargeback ratio. PayLivo allows merchants to operate at up to 5% without termination. Our built-in alert system helps you proactively manage disputes before they escalate.
How does the chargeback alert system work?
When a customer contacts their bank about a transaction, our system notifies you immediately — often before the chargeback is formally filed. This gives you a window to resolve the dispute directly and prevent it from hitting your ratio.
How long does approval take?
Standard underwriting takes 24–48 hours. Once approved, you'll receive your API credentials and can begin integrating immediately. Most merchants are fully live within 48 hours of applying.
Does PayLivo support subscription billing?
Yes. PayLivo has a built-in MRR engine handling subscription billing natively — retry logic, dunning sequences, proration, and flexible billing cycles. No external subscription tool needed.
