Dammit, dammit, dammit.

The credit card merchant account I opened has been closed before I could process a single purchase through it- for, you guessed it, adult material policy. Card Services International has a no-porn policy, too- not merely no-porn-for-sale, but no-porn-involved-in-any-way-at-all.

I was -really- counting on that account, too. Looks like I'll have to put the begging bowl back out.

In the meantime: [livejournal.com profile] superhappy, what service do you use for Slipshine? Do they do anything besides subscription-service transactions?

There has to be some way to accept credit cards.

How do those little mom and pop adult "24 hour newsstands" stay in business? Are they usually cash or cheque only? I've never been in one.

I don't know for certain about other places, but very few of those small mom&pop adult newsstands in Houston are small mom&pops. In fact, they tend to be chain stores owned by a single corporation, either city based or national. One of my wholesale accounts is a five-store chain in Austin, "AAA News."

Not that it matters: the issue here is -online- adult material, I suspect. If I had a physical storefront there wouldn't be a problem, but I don't.
