Special requirements and guidelines:
The following guidelines are intended to minimize the risk related to pharmacy merchants. To consider a pharmacy merchant Orbit Card Services has the following conditions:
1. Merchant only sells non-controlled substances.
Merchants should also avoid products which are intended for use under specialist supervision and avoid products which require special storage conditions.
2. Prescription is mandatory for prescription required drugs.
Prescription required drug products (RX) are listed in the Orange Book of the FDA website (http://www.fda.gov/cder/orange/default.htm) However, please note that each country has different rules and regulation regarding prescription drugs.
Pharmacy merchants must clearly advise their clients that purchasing regular prescription medication over the internet is only advisable after consulting a physician.
3. Pharmacy merchants must supply their customers with information regarding the drugs they sell.
4. Orbit Card Services only offers VISA acquiring for pharmacy merchants.
5. Pharmacy Merchants should only offer products which have been approved for use by the relevant authorities in both the supplier’s country and the customer’s country. This rule also applies for generics.
Required documentation:
1. Pharmacy license of fulfillment centers
2. Contracts between the pharmacy merchant and the fulfillment center.
3. Doctors license (if medical evaluation only done online)
Websites offering online consultation services of physicians must be able to produce a copy of the doctor´s license to practice in the territory they are prescribing to. This is to ensure that a licensed doctor is prescribing drugs based on the online questionnaire
4. Contracts between the pharmacy and prescribing doctor (if medical evaluation only done online)
This, along with the doctor‘s license is to ensure that a licensed doctor is working with the merchant when prescribing drugs based on an online questionaire.

6. List of countries they ship to and how they comply with the law of those countries.
Pharmacy merchant may not set up their terms and conditions in a way that responsibility for importing the substance into the cardholder‘s market is the cardholder‘s responsibility. It is the merchants obligation to be compliant to the local laws when shipping the product to the cardholder‘s country.
