Pages the site must have
| Page | What it needs to say |
|---|---|
| Home and product pages | Research-use-only positioning, consistently, in the copy and not only the footer |
| Lab reports | A report for every batch on sale, from a named lab, findable without contacting you |
| Terms of sale | Research-use-only terms and the buyer agreement |
| Privacy policy | What you collect and why |
| Refund and returns policy | Plain conditions and timelines |
| Shipping policy | Where you ship, how fast, how you pack, what happens with damaged parcels |
| Contact | A real email and, ideally, a phone number and business address |
| About | Who runs the business. Underwriters and buyers both look for it. |
What every product page shows
- Compound name and amount per vial.
- Purity and the lab that tested it, for the batch currently shipping.
- Batch number, with a link to that batch's report.
- Form and storage information.
- Price, and stock status that is actually accurate.
- The research-use-only statement.
And nothing about use in people or animals, amounts to take, or outcomes. The guide to writing research-use-only product pages goes line by line, and the wording checker catches most slips.
Checkout
- Require acceptance of your research-use agreement before the order is placed, and store each acceptance with the date and the version of the agreement.
- Show the payment instructions clearly for every method you accept, including a reference code for bank transfers.
- Send an order confirmation that repeats the research-use-only statement and the payment instructions.
- Ask your attorney whether you should verify age or limit which states you ship to, and build that in before launch if so.
Payments that will not be switched off
The payment option built into most store builders generally excludes this category, and accounts opened anyway tend to be closed at review. Plan payments separately from the website: a high-risk card processor applied for with a complete file, plus bank transfer or crypto from day one. See getting approved by a peptide payment processor and matching Zelle payments to orders.
Stock that matches the shelf
Nothing loses a buyer faster than an order for something you do not have. If stock lives in one place and the website counts in another, they will drift. Connect them so a sale anywhere reduces stock everywhere, and have unpaid orders hold stock only for a set time so the shelf is not locked up by orders that will never be paid.
Before you launch
- Run every page through the wording checker, including old blog posts and the reviews section.
- Place a test order with each payment method and follow it to shipping.
- Scan a vial label QR code and check it opens the right batch report on a phone.
- Read the site on a phone from top to bottom. Most buyers will.
- Read it once more as an underwriter would: would a stranger conclude you sell research materials to researchers?
Doing it in Purity
Purity plugs into the website you already have. Connect your website with step-by-step instructions for common platforms, and orders, payments and stock flow into one place. Unpaid website orders hold stock only for the time you set, product copy runs through the wording check, buyers accept your research-use agreement at checkout, and every batch has a public report page to link from its product page. No website yet? Purity also gives you a hosted shop link to start selling from. Create an account or try the demo.
Common questions
- Can I build a peptide website on a regular store builder?
- You can build the pages on most builders. The problem is usually the builder's own payment option, which generally excludes this category. Plan payments separately and keep the site's wording research-use-only throughout.
- Do I need to show lab reports on the website?
- Buyers in this market expect them and processors look for them. Show the report for the batch currently shipping, not a single report per product.
- What is the most common reason a new peptide site gets flagged?
- Inconsistency: a research-use-only disclaimer alongside product copy, images or reviews that describe use in people. The wording on every page has to agree with the disclaimer.
