Is it possible to re-route payment information to process thru different domain?

So, my wife has started a little side business, a dominatrix/mistress type business and it has taken off a little faster than I ever expected.

Problem now, as what I've been reading, there are practically no payment providers or banks that will do business with a business like that.

I've read up on the ones I found, such as CCBill, Epoch and Payment Cloud, but the $1000/year fee is not really doable right now and that still doesn't solve the problem of having a bank account where those transactions are deposited in the end. To make matters worse, I've also read some banks will let you open an account, but one day, out of the blue, they could freeze your account and shrug.

So, my question is, is it possible to take payment details through a form on the adult domain, but then send those details to another domain, a legitimate, non-adult business and process the payment through Stripe and/or PayPal, whereas it would look like a non-adult industry transaction?

Any other suggestions would be great, everyone here seems pretty creative in these types of matters.

If she's not charging $250 an hour she needs to hurt their wallets a bit more.

4 hours and that's the fee covered.

Fair enough, do you know any banks that will let us open an account? All the ones I know do not do business with adult-oriented businesses. Therefore, even with CCBill, we have nowhere to deposit the funds.

I'm not American nor live in the States my friend, sorry can't advise any further.

Hey,

I dont really understand the second part of your issue

1. Find a psp (I am surprised you did not find one because many psps accept cam shows even if they are specific like yours)

2. Having a bank account at the psp/acquirer?
Why ? You cannot receive your money on your bank acc because you dont have a legal entity/business? What is the issue?

Are you from the United States? First, there are very few payment processors that will accept businesses considered high-risk (adult sites, gambling, etc) besides CCbill and a few others that charge $1000 upfront. Secondly, let's say you pay the $1000 and get the processor, there are no banks that I can find that will open an account for an adult business here. They just want nothing to do with it. Since posting this question, I have done some Googling, and it seems like many others are having the same problem. One article explains how Chase Bank has been shutting down accounts flagged as being an "adult business" for no other reason but that one.

I was hoping to find an answer to my original question, regardless of if I had $1000 to throw away or if I miraculously found a bank accepting of this type of business here in the US.

If I have two domains on the same server, let's say, at /home/domain1/ and /home/domain2/, how difficult would it be to have customers fill out payment information on domain1.php and then send those payment details to domain2-process.php, whereas the payment would then be sent to the processor from domain2?

As security is concerned, there would be no external HTTP requests moving the information. I just need to know how to fire the PHP on domain2 from domain1 and have domain2 handle the request.

You have PSPs accepting your vertical without charging the setup fee
Do you require a US bank or you could have something in Europe for instance?

For the domains, you could use a dummy website and get approved by a normal psp but..I will avoid it for your case because your business is not illegal or shady.

Dont divert, youll lose it in time, everyone does.
Is she doing cam shows/online work or in person?

How is she currently accepting payment? The $1,000 fee is from Visa so you cannot get around that.

eChecks, BTC, Cash in person are of course secure and easy. Online payments and a bank account? Let me get to 100 posts and a JV so i can be in the marketplace.
