Why Traffic Quality Now Affects Merchant Account Approval
Merchant account approval isn’t just about business type or chargebacks anymore. Today, banks and processors also check your website traffic — especially for high-risk industries like CBD, forex, and online gaming.
What Counts as Good or Bad Traffic
Good traffic comes from organic search, direct visits, or high-performing ads. These users engage and convert.
Bad traffic includes bots, fake clicks, high bounce rates, or traffic from blocked regions — all red flags for processors.
Why It Matters
Poor traffic signals risk. If your analytics show low-quality or inconsistent sources, your merchant account application may be denied — even with clean documents. This is especially true for high-risk accounts with instant approval.
