With the mainstream adoption of NFTs in early 2021 and the lack of regulation and ruling from banks and the government on cryptocurrency - many payment providers sit in the gray area with how to handle NFT and crypto related sales.
To date, many banks and subsequent payment providers have treated NFTs as a high-risk product - requiring the use of a high-risk merchant service provider. (At the core, these have higher fees per transaction) As NFTs become mainstream, many payment processors have begun changing their stance. With that, the current payment options you are using may not currently support NFTs requiring you to either gain approval from your payment provider or switch to a payment provider that does.
If you are interested in launching an NFT collection, a great first step would be to reach out to your payment provider and ask them about their stance on NFTs. Due to how quickly the space is evolving, we recommend also getting any approvals in writing for your own peace of mind.
