Welcome to the discussion on finding a suitable payment provider for CamgirlCollective, a challenge we're facing due to the stringent regulations and compliance requirements set by payment processors and card companies alike. Here's a summary of the insights and experiences shared by our members:
- Many payment providers, including CCBill and Zombaio, have rejected CamgirlCollective due to BRAM violations flagged by the Visa Compliance Group. Such violations often pertain to content deemed extreme or inappropriate.
- It's essential to remove certain keywords from our site and profiles to comply with the regulations. These include terms related to violence, incest, and other sensitive content.
- CCBill is recommended for its superior customer service, though it has a challenging admin interface and a high initial cost for accepting Visa payments, especially in the USA. The same $500 annual fee now applies to Master Card transactions for adult content.
- Other mentioned payment processors include AcceptSafe, which has shown to be camgirl friendly, and discussions about a potential camgirl friendly service by GiftRocket.com if there's enough interest.
- Netbilling, Epoch, and VXSbill were also suggested as possible alternatives, with Epoch being noted as adult friendly based on its use by other cam sites and affiliate programs.
Despite the hurdles, our collective experience and shared knowledge are paving the way for a feasible solution. Let's continue to explore and discuss options for integrating a payment provider that aligns with our needs and complies with regulatory standards.
