Shopify Payments disabled checkout because your tincture SKU triggered a category flag. Your herbs did not stop selling — your processor stopped cooperating.
Adaptogens, kratom-adjacent adjacency (even when you do not sell kratom), weight-loss botanicals, and traditional medicine SKUs often trip automated risk engines. Platforms like Shopify and Stripe optimize for broad low-risk catalogs — not merchants with nuanced ingredient lines.
When card checkout dies, merchants fall back to Zelle, crypto, or manual invoicing — and conversion collapses. Buyers trust card payments because chargebacks exist. Orchestration restores card rails with multiple acquirer paths instead of one brittle approval.
iKash sits at the payment layer: your storefront stays put; routing adapts per transaction. Cascade through PSPs when issuers soft-decline, rotate descriptors where policy allows, and measure auth-rate lift per route — not guesswork from a single gateway dashboard.
Herb brands scaling past seven figures cannot afford “we’re reviewing your account” every quarter. Multi-PSP orchestration is infrastructure — like CDN failover for payments.
Many herb merchants move to WooCommerce or custom checkout with orchestrated PSP routing. iKash handles payment routing; your platform migration is separate but we integrate at checkout.
Yes. Tokenized subscriptions can retry across routes when a processor flags a renewal batch.
Typical underwriting asks for business registration, product labels, fulfillment proof, and chargeback history. Requirements vary by PSP — orchestration does not remove underwriting, it multiplies viable paths.
