When you run an adult e-commerce site, finding a good payment processor can be harder than you think. You might think any processor will work, but not all of them will help adult brands. The payment industry is more picky. It is important to pick one that you can trust.
One option is OrbitalPay. It has been in business for over 15 years. It makes payments easy, so you don’t have to worry about it. They help many adult sites that other payment processors won’t. But before you decide, there are some things you should know.
Security Concerns
When you visit OrbitalPay’s website, you might see that it does not use HTTPS for security. It uses ‘HTTP,’ which means others can see any info you send. While OrbitalPay has not been hacked yet, this is a risk. If you choose OrbitalPay, you will need to weigh the ease of use against the risk.
Many Payment Options for Your Customers
A major challenge for adult sites is offering customers many ways to pay. Many customers want to keep their adult purchases secret. They do not want these items to show up on their credit card or bank information. That’s why you need to offer different ways for them to pay.
OrbitalPay offers ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments. This means people can pay with checks or debit cards. These payments come through OrbitalPay’s system. You can accept payments in different ways, such as manually or automatically, or as monthly payments. ACH payments cost less than credit card payments, so it is cheaper for your business.
Strong Credit Card Payments
Even though ACH payments are cheap, credit cards are still very important. OrbitalPay helps you accept major credit cards. They make sure these payments are safe, so you don’t need to worry about fraud. Plus, payments are quick. When someone buys something from your site, they get a receipt fast.
One cool thing is that OrbitalPay can process payments in many currencies. So, if your customers are from different countries, you can still take their payments. They don’t specify exactly which other payment methods they accept, such as PayPal or cryptocurrency. It’s a good idea to ask them for more details.
Chargeback Protection
Chargebacks are common, especially for adult sites. OrbitalPay helps you with chargebacks. They send you a notice if someone asks for a chargeback. They also help you handle chargebacks easily. This helps make sure you don’t lose money.
Sales and Reports
OrbitalPay gives you reports so you can track sales. You can see details like your past sales and create your own reports. These reports update in real-time. This lets you make better business decisions.
Fraud Protection
Fraud is a big problem online, but OrbitalPay helps you stop it. They use a system that checks that the billing address matches the one on file. They also use a CCV (Card Verification Code) to verify that the card is real. These checks help stop fraud and protect your business.
Conclusion
If you need a simple payment processor for your adult e-commerce site, OrbitalPay is a good option. They make it easy to accept payments, and they offer useful tools to manage your transactions. However, you should consider the security risks and decide whether OrbitalPay is right for you.
