I'm sure these puritanical payment gateways and processors have no problem taking fees for sales of guns, cigarettes, and all varieties of snake oil. But porn?

- rcstank 5y agoMany vendors do block sales of firearms (or anything resembling 2A) due to similar risk factors. It's extremely difficult to find a gateway and processor that's 2A friendly. The small number of vendors that are 2A friendly usually require an FFL to further mitigate risk. If you can find a gateway and processor that has an underwriting team that will not require an FFL, that would be a sight to behold.
- rattray 5y agoIt's often the banks who block the processors. (If the processors block it of their own accord, it's due to fraud/chargebacks). I am not sure why the banks are so puritanical.
