Most payment processors will freeze your account, hold your funds, or shut you down entirely — simply because you sell live animals.
-
Frozen accounts
Payment processors like Stripe and Square regularly shut down breeder accounts without warning when they detect live animal transactions.
-
Chargeback exposure
Buyers can dispute payments months after pickup. Generic processors leave you to fight chargebacks alone — often with thousands on the line.
-
Compliance gray area
Most processors explicitly prohibit live animal sales in their terms. Even if it's worked so far, you're one review away from losing access.

Chargeback Support
We go to bat for you — so you don't fight alone
Chargebacks are one of the biggest financial risks breeders face. Buyers can dispute payments months after going home with their puppy, and most processors leave you completely on your own. TailPay is different.

Compliance
Stop worrying about whether your processor allows this

No risk of sudden account freezes or fund holds
Built by people who understand breeder businesses inside and out
