Porn peddlers have a hard time getting any respect as reputable businesspersons. Mention that you sell porn and suddenly, doors slam in your face, phone calls aren't returned and you begin to get used to letters that begin with the phrase: WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU...

"We're the goddamn beta testers of the Internet. We deserve better! Just because we deal in smut, that doesn't make us smutty people! Where are our new billers?" |
And banks? Don't even get us started on banks. It doesn't matter if you have impeccable credit. It makes no difference at all to a bank that you have a solid business model or can prove you have a talent for making money on the Interwebs. Letters of recommendation? Get out! You're killing us! Yeah, we know. You have a great history of consistently turning a profit but we don't care. You're in online porn. Go away.
What's worse, the options available to adult webmasters that need to process online payments, get more limited each year. We've lost AMEX and Discover. VISA is our only credit card processor and they've trying to kill the concept of third-party billing. Paypal blew us off and it seems like once promising payment options die as fast as you can say CHARGEBACK.
What's a webmaster to do? Where is our hope? Where are the new options? Where can we find someone, anyone that will work with us instead of against us? We're the goddamn beta testers of the Internet. We deserve better! Just because we deal in smut, that doesn't make us smutty people! Where are our new billers?
Fortunately, there are some fresh billing options that look downright promising. If you're having trouble finding a bank, that will grant you a merchant account or if you're simply interested in keeping your payment options open, you might want to look into these sites:
Want a biller that can have you processing within 24 hours? Would you like advanced anti-fraud protection, no up front fees and real-time transaction reports? Could you be happy offering your members a selection of payment choices such as credit card, checks and WEB 900?
Perhaps E-Telegate is for you. This company features easy-to-understand management, password protection and the chance to have your payments directly deposited into your bank account.
To know Ynot is to love Ynot. Long known as the Cadillac of adult webmaster resources, the Ynot Network has expanded into the billing business.

Together, they've come up with a rather ingenious way to make sure adult webmasters not only get respect but are able to get the dollars they deserve.
We're talking real live merchants accounts here, people. You'll see none of that fee-sucking third-party crap with Ynot Payment. If you're approved, you can be set up within a week. If your site qualifies, guess what? NO STARTUP FEES! Take payments in multiple currencies. Be secure with fraud protection. Use your own descriptors. Come on kids, it's Ynot!
Infinity is a merchant services provider. Infinity Billing uses the I-PAY system for processing online transactions. So what if Paypal abandoned the adult Internet that built them into the behemoth that they are? Now there's Infinity. It's cool. It's user-friendly and Infinity won't drop you when they find out you sell dirty-bad porn.
All you have to do is get your surfers to open an account through the Infinity system and boom; you've got a paying customer! Your surfer won't have to worry about embarrassing names on their bank statements because when you use Infinity, their statements will read: Ipayinc.com! With Infinity, you can finally put those awful memories of Paypal's desertion out of your mind.
As with any payment processor or billing service, there are always rules and Terms of Service. Just because these new companies are adult-friendly, that doesn't mean you will be automatically approved. You still have to show them that you're worth the effort. The sweet part is, your being an online pornographer is a plus as opposed to minus with these new billers.
Browse these sites. Email support for more detailed information. If you're in need of a biller or you're ready to switch, one of them just might be the company you've been searching for.
Get bangin with new billers!
