Stop Losing Sales to Processors That Don't Understand Your Market

If your applications keep getting declined or your current processor keeps placing holds, it is time to work with a provider that has built accounts specifically for adult retail merchants. Adult bondage businesses are considered high-risk and need secure payment processing solutions, similar to an adult merchant account designed for high-risk industries.

Merchants Experience When They Found the Right Processor

"Three processors dropped us in two years. EMS approved us, configured the account properly and we haven't had a disruption since."

Owner Online Bondage Retailer

"We were manually refunding orders because our previous setup couldn't handle returns cleanly. EMS fixed that in the onboarding process."

Operations Lead Adult Lifestyle Store

"International orders were a constant problem. Payments from Germany and the Netherlands kept declining. That stopped entirely after switching."

Director European Adult Products Brand

"Our subscription box service needed a processor that understood recurring billing for adult goods. EMS was the only one that actually configured it correctly."

Founder Adult Subscription Box Service

"Bank holds were freezing our cash flow every peak season. EMS structured the account so that hasn't happened once since we moved over."

How EMS Sets Up Your Adult Bondage Merchant Account

Getting the right processing arrangement in place starts with understanding your product range, sales volume and customer base before anything is submitted for approval.
