Coaches and course creators face large up-front fees and refund disputes. We deliver secure coaching merchant accounts with a dedicated gateway, chargeback protection and fraud prevention.
Life, business and fitness coaches sell high-ticket programs and payment plans that banks treat as high-risk. We support the full coaching and online-course economy.
You will work with a dedicated account manager who helps you choose the right coaching payment solutions and guides you through setup. We can integrate with the software you already use, including your CRM and accounting tools - no technical skills required.
Once you apply, you will complete a short online application covering your business, its size and your payment needs. After review, a member of our coaching payment processing team will reach out to finish setting up your account, typically within 24-48 hours.
Everything you need to accept payments and grow with confidence.
There are many compelling reasons to choose Karma Card Payments to process payments for your coaching business. Here are the key benefits our coaching payment solutions offer.

Fraud prevention is built into every solution we offer. Sophisticated detection flags suspicious transactions before they process - essential protection given the elevated fraud risk in the coaching space.

Answers to the questions coaching businesses ask us most about accepting payments, fees and getting approved.
We provide omnichannel payment solutions designed for coaching businesses:
Online: A secure payment gateway lets you accept credit card and ACH payments from customers - including one-time transactions, subscription billing and recurring payments.
Retail: For in-person sales we provide POS software and card readers for operations of all sizes.
Over the phone: Virtual terminals make it simple to accept payments over the phone with added convenience and security.
Processing fees typically range from 1.5% to 3.5%, depending on card brand, transaction type and your industry. Because coaching is classified as high-risk, rates can run higher than average.
Our mission is to offer affordable, transparent processing tailored to coaching businesses, helping you avoid excessive fees while staying compliant with Visa and Mastercard requirements.
To help expedite approval, please gather the following before applying:
Your website should use HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and include your legal business name, contact details, a Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions and a Refund Policy.
Coaching is high-risk because of high-ticket sales, installment plans, intangible deliverables and the higher refund and chargeback rates that come with results-based promises. That classification is exactly why a specialized processor matters - we underwrite coaching businesses every day and build in the protections needed to keep your account stable.
Most coaching merchant accounts are approved within 24-48 hours once we have your completed application and supporting documents. Having your paperwork and a compliant website ready ahead of time is the fastest way to get up and running.
