Can't find a payment processor
 

I have a pretty big site with news and reviews of adult services, massage parlors, escorts, etc. I wanted to add a premium section ages ago but couldn't find a payment processor that didn't require a huge deposit that I wasn't sure I would get back. Recently I launched a forum. There is a members-only section. I'm looking for some kind of processor to take yearly payments of people who want access or (less likely, I know) donations.

I can't say what kind of money would be involved. Traffic is good and converts well on multiple affiliate programs. Depending on conversions it could be anywhere from a few thousand a year to tens of thousands.

Does anyone know of an option for this?

By 'pay a huge deposit', do you mean the VISA/Mastercard fees?
If so, then....that's not a 'deposit'.

Send me a private message or email with your ICQ/Skype and I will be in touch. I have found solutions for a few people in your position but will need more details from you.

Yeah my thoughts, too.

If someone cannot afford the $1000 it takes to get started with a CCBill or Epoch then perhaps this business if not for them.

Of course, you could try Scott Zambaio but then you take your chances. LOL

Perhaps I should have said "fee". The site makes very good money through affiliate programs -- thousands per month -- but I don't know whether or not a premium section would convert well enough to make the 1000 outlay worth adding it since the millions of viewers over the last three years have not had to pay anything. So far all income has come through ads.

Thanks for the help.

I can not help you with a processor but can you contact me on skype (makeabuck) about possible advertising?

Registration with MC/VISA are required for any real merchant account.

If the fees are too risky for you -- don't do it.

Improve your Affiliate income -- that is low risk unless you are media buying.

Hit me up I might have something real good for you

Hi there,

I just messaged you re: a merchant account.

Drop an email to bluebloodsupport [at] gmail.com with what your offering is.

I might be able to add your site to SpookyCash for a %, as I've already got all the processing fees covered.

Hey Samsonite.

Visa/Mastercard both have $500 registration fees for a High Risk Account out the gate. PM me and I can help you out.

There are some payment processors you don't need to pay this fee. But it depends on where your business is located. Some countries are on the blacklist.

My advice? After dealing with Zombaio, just go with a real processor and thank yourself later.

Thanks for the help and suggestions. I will contact those who provided info to see if they can offer a reasonable solution.

Find the best payment processor. :thumbsup
