Any suggestions - accepting card online - getting started

in adult business

[alexdo]

Hello

I'm starting adult retail business (real goods not memberships) and it's already 3 month I can't setup merchant account.

Anyone have ideas how to accept cards online?

Thank you

It depends on where you are, etc. You can get ccbill - a third party processor - but you will be paying a registration fee. You can consider getting an offshore account if you are in the US. You won't pay the registration fee, but you more than likely will be paying an application fee and lower discount rates.

thank you for your reply.

But as I understand ccbill do not process hard goods - only subscription services - soI can't have solution from them.

Can you please provide more info about offshore merchant account? What companies can I contact about it?

Thank you.

What's the location of your business?

MultiCards accepts Adult stores selling DVD's, videos, magazines, toys etc.
However, if you are located outside Europe they can't provide MasterCard, only Visa and Amex.

Another solution could be Etelegate, they offer offshore merchant accounts for high risk businesses. Do note that their average fee is around 9%.

Hope this helps.
