Adult Content Websites and Sexual Online Stores Merchant Service



Any adult related business as adult websites and sexual goods and toys online stores needs merchant account to accept and processed credit cards payments. Some of them offer adult associated services and required reoccurring billing or monthly subscriptions fall into the high-risk category for payment processing because of the nature of the adult related services industry. This high amount of chargebacks and the difficulties of handling payments for adult websites have forced many payment service providers and credit card processing companies to refuse processing such payments.

Whether your adult related website is an existing business requiring a high risk merchant account or you are starting a new adult oriented website or adult service business, we can help. We present a number of types of merchant account credit cards payment processing solutions for the adult webmaster and adult oriented industries including offshore high-risk merchant accounts, back-up secondary merchant accounts, multiple auxiliary high-risk merchant accounts and international merchant accounts for offshore credit card payment processing. For the reoccurring and/or subscriptions payments in adult oriented watching websites we suggest ACH service.

Another reason why most of processors don’t provide merchant service for the sexual content websites is the federal law that makes it a crime for commercial Web site operators to allow children access to “harmful” material called the Child Online Protection Act. For example in May 2000, American Express made the decision to terminate all of its adult website merchant accounts. Although American Express declined to release dollar amounts, Internet analysts estimate that online porn sites bring in several billion dollars every year.

Of course we are not considering any websites with illegal content. Yes in adult industry exist a lot of law limitations and we follow the law for 100%. Any illegal adult content and links to illegal adult content web sites not acceptable and any attempt to apply for merchant service for them will be reject.
