Hi,
Does anyone have any idea why adult processors charge higher transaction %. Just because they have higher chances of getting chargeback?? :confused:

High risk business / higher chances of getting chargeback..whatever you might wanna call it.

Str is correct. People go online, give their CC to watch a video or possibly join an online service for a month. Then they get their CC statement - call their CC company & tell them I didn't do it. The CC company cannot do too much & they issue the customer's money back.

But this will change a lot now since Verified by Visa is coming into full force. At least it will get rid of a lot of the "I didn't do it"s

SIGNIFICANTLY higher risk. Especially, I would think, because of all the "oops, I forgot it was going to be a recurring transaction".

We stopped offering recurring transactions on our adult sites years ago for this reason. Want more? Come back join again and then try and tell your bank you did not authorize the transaction . . .
