Sharfin designed and built our new website to enable us to accept online payments. The new website looks amazing and navigating around it so simple compared to what we had before. Sharfin and his team have always been available when we have required any technical support or assistance.
Online pharmacy website design with payments built in
Live and taking card payments in 24 hours*. A payments ready pharmacy website with consultation forms and prescription checks, vetted by our payments team before launch.
*Approval time depends on how quickly we receive your documents. Free website for trading businesses processing £5k a month or more through eCom Pay, with start-ups looked at case by case. Pay monthly from £50 otherwise.
Can pharmacy businesses take card payments online?
Stripe restricts pharmacies and prescription products, so UK online pharmacies usually need a specialist provider. eCom Pay works with online pharmacies, checks your GPhC and MHRA details as part of setup, and approved accounts settle next working day with no rolling reserve. eCom Pro builds the payments ready website.

Payment provider not supporting your pharmacy?
Online pharmacies sell products mainstream processors restrict, so a site built on a generic template often ends with a declined application or a closed account. Your website and your payments need to be built together by people who work with pharmacies every day.
- Website and payments application handled together, by one team
- Approved and taking payments in 24 hours* once your documents are in
- Next working day settlement with no rolling reserve, including specialist sectors
- Already declined or closed elsewhere? Tell us on the form, it changes nothing about how we build

What your pharmacy website includes
Built as product features your customers use, and the features that keep your account healthy once you are live.
Consultation questionnaires
Products gated behind the questions your prescriber needs answered, with the answers stored against the order.
Prescriber review flow
Orders wait for a prescriber decision before dispatch, with notes and declines logged.
Registration details on every page
GPhC registration, superintendent pharmacist and MHRA details displayed where customers and payment providers expect them.
Subscription refills
Repeat orders with clear terms, renewal reminders and easy cancellation.
Age and ID checks
Identity verification at the point it is needed, not on every page.
Chargeback evidence
Consent, delivery proof and IP logged automatically, exported as a dispute pack.
Free, pay monthly or payments only for your pharmacy business
Free for trading businesses above £5k a month in card revenue through eCom Pay, with start-ups looked at case by case. Pay monthly below it or for a custom build. Already have a site you like? Use our payments on their own.
Payments ready, vetted by our payments team
Before launch, the same people who handle your payments setup review your pharmacy website and ask for any changes your business needs. Every business is looked at individually, which is why we never publish a checklist and never build to one. The site and the application go through together.
One form starts both your website build and your eCom Pay application.
Our payments team reviews the site as it is built, so nothing is left to chance at launch.
Approved and taking payments in 24 hours* once your documents are in. Next working day settlement, no rolling reserve.
Done all our website. It now accepts payments and it was very complex. Reachable at all sorts of odd hours, and had a very simple journey with sharfin. Highly recommend them and their expertise.
Sharfin was an absolute pro. Took time to really try to understand our needs and propose solutions which fit our budget and timescales. He made smart suggestions without being pushy but improving the plan so we didn't waste time or resources on things we don't need.
An online pharmacy gets approved on the detail. GPhC registration visible, consultation forms that gate prescription products, and a prescriber review step. Get those on the site before you apply and approval is straightforward.
Online pharmacy website and payment questions
The questions founders ask before they apply, including the ones about Stripe, PayPal and Shopify Payments.
Can I use Stripe for an online pharmacy?
Stripe restricts pharmacies and prescription products, so online pharmacies usually need a specialist provider. eCom Pay works with UK online pharmacies, checks your GPhC and MHRA details as part of setup, and approved accounts settle next working day with no rolling reserve.
Can I use PayPal for an online pharmacy?
PayPal restricts prescription medicines and many pharmacy products, so most online pharmacies need a specialist card processor. eCom Pay works with pharmacies and eCom Pro builds the website to work with it from day one.
Can I use Shopify Payments for a pharmacy store?
Shopify Payments runs on Stripe, so the same restrictions apply. Shopify lets you add a third party payment gateway instead. eCom Pay connects to Shopify, so a pharmacy store can take card payments with next working day settlement.
Which payment provider approves online pharmacies in the UK?
Online pharmacy is a specialist category that mainstream processors restrict. eCom Pay works with UK online pharmacies, with subscription billing, 150+ currencies and next working day settlement once approved.
How long does approval take?
Approved and taking payments in 24 hours* once we have your documents. The only thing that slows approval is how quickly the documents come back.
What does the payments ready review involve?
Before launch, our payments team reviews your site alongside your application and asks for any changes your business needs. Every business is looked at individually, so we never publish a checklist.
