Back to the business end of it, there is no such thing as an indirect 5967 transaction. Transactions are assigned an MCC based on the type -- ie internet, terminal swiped -- and the content -- airline ticket, porn site, book to be delivered with signature.

Transactions are not "transferable" to another code... for instance, a purchase made in a strip club with a swiped (or keyed) card has one code assignment. If the same company had websites that sold subscriptions, they would be a different code assignment, run on a different MID/TID setup. Interspersing those transactions is NOT ALLOWED.

As to the comment about worrying about competition, you'll find that I'm friendly with, and have tremendous respect for the legitimate billing companies in the industry. CCBill, Epoch, Netbilling, L3 Payments, and CommerceGate jump to mind immediately (and I'm not saying that all others are not legitimate) and I have personal friendships as well as the occasional business relationship with many of them.

Amazingly enough, in a couple of months, I will have been in the adult industry for ten years, almost all of those dealing with billing and payment solutions -- I don't have to hate on anyone, my clients have always gotten paid on time and in full.
Kimmy,

Thank you for the mention and it is always a pleasure working with you.

Kimmy is not coming here to bash anyone. She is asking very specific and important questions and know more than almost anyone in the adult processing space. Her and I both have seen too many companies come and go over the past 10 years that have burned many merchants and friends we have made in this industry.

While I hope you do succeed even being a competitor, the questions being asked are very important to answer and backup.
