OrbitalPay

When you need a payment processor that can help you accept payments for your adult e-commerce site, this can be more difficult to find than you may think. You may assume that any payment processor will accept your payment. In your mind, it should not matter if you sell used panties or ceramic figurines of firefighters. In a perfect world, it would not matter.

But it matters to a lot of payment processors. Thus, not every processor is going to conduct business with you. It is important to be more choosy and find a payment processor that you can trust since options are more limited. But you don’t have to look far to find a payment processor that has your best interest in mind.

That begins with OrbitalPay. A payment processor that has been in business for over 15 years can simplify payment processing, so you don’t have to fucking think about it. Making it automated and simplified, it’s no wonder OrbitalPay has helped many adult sites out there that other payment processors won’t even touch. But before you choose OrbitalPay, let’s get one thing out of the way.

Information is not secure

After first visiting OrbitalPay, you may start to notice that there is something a bit off about the security when you look at the address bar. This is because OrbitalPay is not exactly as secure as it needs to be. The biggest red flag is that the site does not connect to a ‘HTTPS’ protocol; merely ‘HTTP.’ What this means is that anything you do on the site is actually out in the open and could theoretically be seen by malicious actors wanting to steal your credentials and sensitive information.

Now, I’m not saying that OrbitalPay has been compromised. I’m also not saying that there are bad guys out there just waiting at the chance for you to log into the payment processor so they can steal your information. But what I am saying is that if a cybercriminal wants to work their magic and compromise a payment processor, the lack of a properly secured URL puts a red target on the back of OrbitalPay.

If you sign up with OrbitalPay, does that mean that you will eventually run into a problem and have your sensitive information stolen? I cannot tell you that outright. You may use OrbitalPay for the amazing payment processing solutions that they provide for adult brands and come away with never having an issue with security. But what I am telling you is that the odds increase because they are less secure than what is recommended.

You are going to have to use your best judgement. Especially since OrbitalPay is such a convenient payment processor for adult brands. Weigh the benefits against this negative, and make the best decision for your business.

Many different options for AC payments

With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s focus on one of the biggest hurdles you are probably trying to overcome: providing different payment options. It is vital that your brand gives customers as many options as possible to pay for your goods and services. That could not be more true when we’re talking in terms of adult sites and brands, too. It all starts with the various ways you can accept ACH payments.

A lot of customers want their purchase on your adult site to be private. They don’t want your information showing up on their normal checking account statement or even the credit card they typically choose (more on credit card processing later). For one reason or another, many customers wish to keep their adult payments separate. This makes providing as many different options as possible for making a purchase all the more critical.

OrbitalPay seems like they know this. That is why they provide users with automated clearing house (ACH) payments, so they can pay in a number of different ways. Whether they want to pay via check or debit card, all payments come through their OrbitalPay Gateway. They even provide you several options for how you can accept payments as well.

You can opt to accept payments manually, automatically, or even offer a recurring transaction for those monthly payments. Moreover, you can even set up a virtual terminal, if you want users to pay offline (which probably is not going to happen, but it’s nice that the option is there). Also, what is awesome about accepting ACH payments is that the processing fees are less expensive than using a credit card. For those that want to optimize their payment processes and keep things as tight and inexpensive as possible, OrbitalPay’s ability to keep ACH payment fees low as fuck is a godsend.

Powerful credit card gateway

Even if the allure of inexpensive fees tailored for your brand’s ACH payments will make you want to tell your customers, ‘sorry, it’s ACH payments or nothing,’ you cannot do that. You have to keep shit as convenient as possible. That means accepting credit card payments is absolutely mandatory. Plus, you will get a ton more business that way, so why would you not look into it?

Thanks to the OrbitalPay Gateway, they can virtually process any major credit card. OrbialPay emphasizes that these payments are conducted securely as well if you are on the fence about how secure OrbitalPay can be. It is also done fast, meaning that when someone buys something on your site, they will receive a confirmation of the purchase as quickly as anywhere else.

What fucking impressed me was that OrbitalPay mentions that they can process a wide array of currencies as well. Thus, no matter which country your customers may reside in, if you can get them the shit that they ordered to their country, you can accept their payment on your adult site! Moreover, they offer alternative payment options as well, though they don’t go into any detail regarding what that might be. My hunch is that they are talking about online payment processors like PayPal, but I’m just speculating again.

OrbitalPay needs to state what these alternative payment options are outside of credit card and ACH payments. It could mean accepting anything from Paxum to cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. The language is unclear.

In the event that you get a chargeback on one of these credit cards, don’t fucking sweat it! OrbitalPay states that they provide chargeback notifications immediately for merchants. They make managing your chargebacks easy as hell too. If you don’t want to go it alone and want to come out of a chargeback without losing your fucking neck, OrbitalPay makes this happen with ease!

Keep track of your sales and statistics

Providing even more convenience, OrbitalPay knows that you want to have insights into how you conduct business. That’s why OrbitalPay provides a gateway account that gives you in-depth administration credentials that shows you all kinds of important information. You will find info such as advanced details reports showing your transaction history of the moment. Likewise, you can even set up customizable reports that are updated in real-time. This allows you to have instant access to your most important merchant information without having to look elsewhere.

OrbitalPay also claims that they have insights that will help you to make better decisions in your niche as well as making calculated decisions regarding your business. I don’t know what they fucking mean by all of this, but I assume that it has something to do with all of the data they acquire regarding transactions and the like on your site. That would be some fucking awesome information, so reach out to them to learn more about how their statistics can help your adult brand to grow!

Fraud scrubbing

I don’t have to tell you that the Web attracts fraud like flies to your mom’s shitty goddamn cooking. You want to combat this at every turn, but you cannot do it alone. That’s where OrbitalPay comes in to protect your brand from fraud that kills your monetary bottom line and, as such, your reputation.

OrbitalPay offers an address verification system (AVS) that will ensure that the person that purchased your goods matches the credentials used at the time of payment. To protect against debit and credit card theft, they also use CCV identification to crack down on fraudulent thefts. It may seem like a small thing to force customers to add those three digits on the back of their payment cards, but it makes a huge difference when cracking down on fraudulent charges.

When you want a no-nonsense payment processor that makes navigating the wild world of adult e-commerce more manageable to navigate, OrbitalPay is here to help. Reach out to them and see if they are a good fit. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t, but their dedication to ensuring that your payments are conducted safely and without incident means they are a worthy candidate for your brand!

Suggestions:

OrbitalPay wants to take the guesswork out of allowing online payments for your adult site. Unfortunately, the entire website is not secured behind the HTTPS protocol, making it open enough that cybercriminals could theoretically creep on you. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Other than that, OrbitalPay makes it so fucking easy to add payment options to your adult site that they should be considered among other payment candidates.
