The processor that
won’t drop you.
Stripe and Square prohibit prescription sales. They’ll board a clinic happily and then freeze the account months later, usually while holding the money. Aminova partners with Corepay so the medication side of your revenue runs on a merchant account that was underwritten for exactly what you do.
No fee from Aminova and no markup. The merchant account is the clinic’s own — we introduce you, we don’t sit in the money.
- Underwritten for GLP-1, hormones, peptides and compounded medication
- Connects to Aminova in about a minute — three fields, verified live
- Cards on file, refunds, voids and receipts, all inside the chart
- Runs alongside Stripe or Square — nothing to migrate
Why this partnership exists
Nobody warns you until it’s already happened.
Stripe and Square are payment aggregators. Their terms prohibit prescription drug sales, and enforcement is automated and retroactive. A clinic can run semaglutide charges for eight months without a word, then get the email: account under review, payouts paused, a reserve held for months.
It isn’t a misunderstanding you can appeal your way out of. It’s what the agreement always said, enforced the day a risk model noticed — and it lands hardest on the clinics doing well, because volume is what triggers the review in the first place.
So Aminova won’t send a prescription charge to Stripe or Square at all — not as a policy preference, but as a hard block in the software, on by default.
A block is only defensible if there’s somewhere better for the charge to go. That’s what Corepay is here for.
Two ways to run it
Split your payments, or move all of them.
Aminova supports both. Most clinics start with the split, and it’s the one we recommend.
Split billing
Keep Stripe or Square for everything they’re happy to process. Corepay takes only the medication charges.
Why we recommend it. High-risk processing costs more per transaction by design — it’s priced for the risk the processor is carrying. Running your entire book through it means paying that premium on every routine follow-up too. Aminova routes each charge to the right rail automatically, so nobody at the front desk has to remember which is which.
One processor, everything
Corepay handles 100% of card volume — one merchant account, one statement, one reconciliation.
When it makes sense. If most of your revenue is medication anyway, the split saves less than it complicates. And if you’ve already been dropped by an aggregator once, there’s a real argument for leaving nothing behind that can be frozen a second time. Simpler books, one relationship, one support number.
You can switch between the two whenever you like — it’s a setting, not a migration. And if you’d rather not use Corepay at all, Aminova still takes medication payments on an in-clinic terminal or by ACH.
Connecting
About a minute, once.
We built the Corepay connection to behave like Stripe Connect and Square — because a payment integration nobody can finish is the same as no integration.
Corepay underwrites the clinic
You apply to Corepay and they issue your merchant account, in your clinic’s name. We make the introduction; we never hold the account. Underwriting, rates and settlement are between you and them.
Paste three fields
Settings → Integrations → Corepay. Client ID, API key and site ID, straight from your onboarding email. Aminova verifies them against Corepay before saving, so a typo tells you in three seconds rather than three weeks later at the counter.
Charge from the chart
Medication charges route to Corepay on their own. Saved cards, refunds, same-day voids and receipts all work the way they already do — and everything lands in one billing history, whichever rail took the money.
How your credentials are handled
A processor key is a key to your bank account. It gets treated like one.
- Your API key never leaves the server — the settings screen only ever shows a masked value
- Connecting or disconnecting re-prompts for your password, like a payout change
- Disconnecting overwrites the stored key rather than hiding it behind a flag
- Card numbers are never written to our database or our logs; CVVs are never stored by anyone
What we’d want to know, if we were you.
Does Aminova take a cut of my payments?
Not out of your rate, and not out of your settlement — we aren’t in the payment flow and we don’t mark anything up. You contract with Corepay directly, the merchant account is yours, and the money settles to your bank without passing through us. Being straight about the rest of it: Corepay pays us a referral fee on clinics we introduce. It comes out of their margin, not your pricing, and your rate is the same whether you found them through us or on your own. If it ever weren’t, this page would be an advert rather than a recommendation.
Is high-risk processing more expensive?
Per transaction, yes — that premium is what the underwriting buys. Which is exactly why we recommend the split rather than pushing everything through it: paying a risk premium on a routine follow-up visit doesn’t make sense. Corepay will quote your rate directly; we don’t set it and we don’t see it.
I already use Stripe. Do I have to leave it?
No. Corepay runs alongside it, not instead of it. Nothing about your existing setup changes — except that medication charges stop putting it at risk.
Do I have to use Corepay to prescribe through Aminova?
No. You can collect medication payments on an in-clinic terminal, by ACH, or on any high-risk processor you already hold. Corepay is simply the one we’ve done the integration work for, so it’s the one that’s a single click inside Aminova.
What actually counts as a “medication” charge?
Anything tied to a prescription or a dispensed drug — a GLP-1 refill, a testosterone vial, a compounded peptide, a medication line on an invoice. Consults, memberships, aesthetics and retail supplements are not. Aminova makes that call per line item, so a mixed invoice still bills correctly.
How long does approval take?
High-risk underwriting is a real review, not an instant sign-up. If you already hold a LegitScript certification, expect KYC, the application, and bank underwriting — a couple of business days. If you don’t, certification comes first and that is the long pole: a detailed questionnaire and roughly two weeks. The Aminova side, once you have credentials, is the one minute described above.
What does it cost to get set up?
The part people are surprised by is LegitScript. Any practice selling prescription products online has to be certified before a high-risk processor will board it, it is charged per website, and it is not cheap — low four figures per URL. That is a real number and we would rather you hear it from us now than from an invoice later. It is paid to Corepay, not to Aminova, and it is the same requirement at any processor that permits prescription sales. Corepay will quote your exact figure.
