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.
Start accepting payments
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.
Payment Integrations
FastoPayments seamlessly integrates with popular platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify. Every business is unique, which is why our API allows you to customize your payment gateway according to your specific needs.
Whether you prefer a host page integration or server-to-server setup, FastoPayments’s payment API ensures that your high-risk e-commerce payment processing is optimized for efficiency and future-proofed for continued success.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a high-risk merchant account for subscription-based businesses?
A high-risk merchant account for subscription businesses is built to support recurring billing in industries that face increased chargeback risk or regulatory complexity.
This includes SaaS platforms, adult content creators, video streaming services, membership communities, digital marketplaces, e-learning platforms, and coaching services. These business models often struggle with approval from traditional providers. FastoPayments offers subscription payment processing that supports ongoing transactions, protects against disputes, and adapts to your specific industry needs.
Why are recurring subscription models considered high-risk by payment providers?
Recurring billing introduces unique risks, such as customer disputes from forgotten renewals, free trials converting to paid plans, and unclear cancellation terms.
When combined with industries like adult content, wellness, or coaching, the risk of chargebacks increases further. Payment processors categorize these models as high-risk due to refund exposure, content restrictions, and international customer bases. FastoPayments is experienced in managing this complexity and provides solutions designed to protect revenue while ensuring compliance.
What features matter most in a payment processor for subscription businesses?
For businesses relying on recurring revenue, essential features include flexible billing cycles, automatic retries for failed payments, fraud filters, chargeback prevention tools, and global payment support.
Whether you’re running a SaaS platform, adult subscription site, streaming service, or a membership-based coaching business, your processor should also offer secure card storage, multi-currency billing, and customizable checkout flows. FastoPayments delivers all of this through a single high-risk-ready solution that supports long-term growth.
How long does it take to set up a high-risk merchant account for a subscription model?
Setup timelines usually range from 3 to 7 business days, depending on your business type and how quickly documentation is submitted. FastoPayments helps subscription merchants across adult, education, digital products, and B2B services prepare for fast approval by guiding you through compliance, KYC, and onboarding.
We ensure that your payment system is up and running as quickly as possible so you can focus on scaling your recurring revenue.
How can subscription-based businesses reduce chargebacks and failed payments?
To minimize lost revenue, businesses should combine proactive communication with advanced billing tools. Send reminders before billing cycles, allow easy cancellations, use clear billing descriptors, and implement retry logic for failed payments.
Platforms in high-risk verticals such as adult content, e-learning, or health subscriptions benefit from FastoPayments’ real-time fraud prevention, card updater services, and automated dispute response tools. These features help maintain healthy chargeback ratios and strengthen customer trust over time.
