Hello,
Can anyone recommend a payment gateway for dating sites similar to flirt.com?
I need to accept card payments and i need quick payouts and no frozen account or money held for no reasons.



thanks

Thanks for the list but i need a recommendation from someone who used them
 
Try this one - https://paylike.io

I have a feeling it might work for you :)
 
Where is based your company?
Soft or hard dating website?
Will you only have recurring payments? or also one shot?
How much volume do you plan to process for the next 6 months?

PSPs will also ask you how you plan to do your user acquisition

Dating is harder and harder to get approved
I will advise to talk to SecurionPay (its a payment gateway, but they will open a contract with the acquirers too)
 
For credit cards You need a high risk merchant account that specifically allows this service, you wont really be able to use any sort of PayFac for this (like stripe, square, paypal etc)
Fee can be anywhere from 5-15%, monthly fees, and a reserve of a few thousand depending, youll have to be underwritten for the account.
For adult services Visa requires a 1k fee to start as well IIRC

In the meantime look at eCHecks (I sell those they work great), BTC (obviously but annoying/hard to convert users to), and pretty much wait until your merchant account gets approved.

Anyone with a recurring business should avoid Chinese payment providers. Chinese processors could be an option when you have a very borderline business but with a one-shot payment flow and no other options with PSPs.
However, if you can for this option, you may have: high fees, high rolling reserve, 90% chance to not see your funds, bad communication and account management, technical issues with APIs, no legal option if they scam you, FX conversion because they process in CNY and will need to pay you in EUR/USD (at least 2% markup in addition to all the fees) and also some setup fees.
At your own risk.

I agree for Paypal, stripe and cie, and its useless to even waste time on it, they will not approve a dating website without processing history.

Also, +500€ for Mastercard to setup the high risk MCC for dating.

A good proposal for tz4bu website will be around 4.5% + 0.20 cts € (0.25$) + 10% Reserve for 180 days + 30€ per charge-back.
 
@James2774 what is the best way to accept eChecks?

@dykapix from the list above which are fast and easy to setup? Looking for somethind like stripe...
 
Skrill is a good option, or go to a local bank, and ask from them!
Unless you go to a local bank, they will always freeze your account, and act like its their own money, and be happy if they give it to you after 120days..
 
You should try: ccbill, verotel, securionpay or epoch
Dating / adult websites are their focus. I already work as a consultants for dating/adult merchants working with them.
Decent solutions but its not the top notch providers (less features to scale, etc.) but more than enough to start a business

I can guarantee these PSPs will NOT accept a dating website (with no processing history/recurring payment) from the list:

Quite certain they will reject your app. I worked with most of them for different verticals.
Most of them even reject low risk business.
 
most trustworthy payment gateways prefer to sweep off dating related revenues and are clearly mentioned in their Tos. Find a way to fake the income type
 
You can try tap2pay. They have a nice feature where users can complete payments using social media chat bots.
