#3 Rethinking Payment Solutions

The PayPal and Stripe Challenge

Hi there,
Welcome back to the TickleCharge newsletter! This week, we're stressing why PayPal, Stripe, and traditional PayFac are not the best fit and how TickleCharge is changing the game.

Rethinking Payment Solutions: The PayPal and Stripe Challenge

PayPal and Stripe are familiar names, but they often stumble in high-risk industries:

  • Risk Aversion: These platforms can abruptly shut down accounts, causing major business disruptions.

  • Generic Approach: High-risk industries need specialized solutions. PayPal and Stripe offer generic services that don't meet these unique demands.

  • Hidden Costs: Unclear fee structures can lead to unexpected costs eating into profits.

The Stripe Blockade

An established adult AI chat platform, maintaining anonymity here, faced an abrupt suspension by Stripe. This unforeseen disruption resulted in revenue depletion, compromised client connections, and the urgency for an alternative payment solution.

At the end of the day, they thrived! Our payments specialist meticulously selected the solution to offer seamless transactions process to their customers.

Always ask these three questions to the payment solution provider.
