MCC 5921: Wine and spirits

High Risk

Businesses involved in the sale of alcoholic beverages like wine and spirits. Alcohol sales involve age verification, legal regulations, and chargeback potential, especially in online sales, leading to restricted status on many payment processing services (including Stripe), strict import and export restrictions, and prohibited status in several countries such as India and Thailand.

SafetyKit handles and enforces these complexities, distinguishing between products with domestic and international shipping, products with low alcohol and high alcohol percentages, and products with and without age verification.
