Recurring & Subscription Billing Included in All Online Dating Merchant Accounts

Recurring billing for card payments includes tokenization to protect consumer data.  Transactions are encrypted and securely stored in the gateway.  By offloading the responsibly for card security to the payment gateway service you reduce your processing risk. Helping to keep your business safe.

Echecks Increase Revenues for Online Dating Merchants

Accepting electronic checks gives online dating merchants  sales lifts of 10-30%, depending on your market. 

With echecks members pay you through a bank account rather than a card.   This is a great option for consumers that don’t have cards, are maxed out on cards or simply prefer to pay you through a bank account rather than a card.  And, if a card declines at checkout, offering an alternative payment method can rescue the sale. 

At echeckout, consumers enter bank routing & account numbers rather than card info. Funds are automatically debited from the buyer’s bank account on a one-time or recurring basis. 

Electronic checks are the gold standard for “set it and forget it” recurring billing.  Echecks provide extremely stable long-term recurring payments.  Consumers seldom change bank accounts because household bills are linked to the bank account as well as direct deposit of wages.  Therefore, there is far less need to update payment details for echecks than cards. 


 

Online Dating Merchant Accounts Challenges

Many banks view online dating merchants as adult oriented businesses.  Naturally, this makes sense since the reason consenting adults use dating apps or sites is to meet, date or find partners.  While many dating sites do not display explicit adult content, there are others that do.

Regardless of the specific content of your app or site, online dating merchants are considered high risk.  Even online dating sites companies with excellent processing history can face challenges obtaining merchant accounts or gaining access to additional processing capacity.  The reasons go beyond content.

The biggest reason online dating merchants are considered high risk is that online dating sites & dating apps statistically experience higher chargebacks than lower risk merchants.  Chargebacks occur when customers forget to cancel a subscription, don’t find compatible partners, or find a compatible mate and no longer need to use online dating. 

A practice known as “friendly fraud” can also be an issue for online dating merchants.  Some consumers have buyer’s remorse after signing up and initiate a chargeback.  No matter how good your refund policy may be, certain consumers will till call their card issuing bank to cancel rather than contacting you.  Consumers may also attempt to chargeback several months of recurring billing cycles. 

Including chargeback mitigation and management services with your online dating merchant account reduces the impact of chargebacks on your business.  Chargeback prevention reduces risk by giving you the opportunity to refund customers before a dispute becomes a chargeback.  Chargeback management helps you fight chargebacks after they occur.
