Payment seller-of-record issue for a VPN service
A VPN service can run into an MOR problem. MOR means a payment setup where another company acts as the official seller and handles customer payments, taxes, refunds, and payment disputes.
VPN services may be treated as risky by payment companies or seller-of-record providers, which can affect approval, payouts, or terms of service. For a small internet business, this means payment setup is not just about fees; it also depends on whether the provider allows the business type and how much compliance risk it sees.
Key points
- VPN services may be treated as a higher-risk business by payment providers.
- MOR covers payments, taxes, refunds, and payment disputes as the official seller.
- Business-category approval can matter more than headline fees.
- A blocked payment setup can delay launch and revenue.
