Getting a high-risk merchant account for your nightlife venue is simple with FastoPayments. With years of experience in adult payment processing, we understand the specific challenges of high-risk businesses and make account setup fast, secure, and hassle-free.
Step 1.
Research payment gateway options
Although the criteria for dating sites are stricter overall, we think it’s still important for nightlife merchants to do research regarding their options. Look for a provider who can actually help you sustain and grow your business through their merchant services.
Step 2.
Prepare your application
Since your business is most likely considered to be high-risk, there are going to be extra requirements you’ll need to comply with to get a merchant account for nightlife businesses.
Ultimately, regardless of the type of online dating site you have, the application process itself tends to be quite long and drawn out with all the documentation and legal requirements involved.
Step 3.

Once your nightlife business merchant account is approved, you can start receiving payments from your customers. With our adult-specific payment processing gateway, customers can pay in different currencies and from different countries.
