Payment Routing

Payment routing for adult platforms
3 processors · 1 checkout · automatic failover

Visa MCC 7841 / 7273 decline at 4× the network average. Route every transaction through the right processor automatically — CCBill for US cards, Verotel for EU, Epoch for high-ticket cam, crypto fallback after two declines. Stop watching ~12% of attempts fail with no recourse.

The Problem

Why single-processor adult checkout bleeds money

MCC 7841 / 7273 carry intrinsic friction at every step. Card issuers decline on reflex for cross-border, your one processor doesn't try a different rail, and you watch double-digit attempts fail without ever knowing the BIN-level pattern.

How it works

How payment routing actually works

🛣️
BIN-aware routing
Each card BIN routes to the optimal processor by issuer country, card brand, and historical decline pattern. Built on 4M+ adult-MCC transactions of decline telemetry.
🔁
Sub-second failover
If primary processor declines, the second processor retries within 800 ms. The user sees only the final success or fail — no double-dip on their card.
💱
Crypto fallback
After two card failures, the modal offers BTC / USDC / Lightning. Conversion uplift averages 11% on otherwise-lost declines.
📊
Account-updater fan-out
Every recurring subscription is refreshed across all 3 processors monthly. Silent-churn reduction averages 4–7% of MRR.

FAQ

Common questions

Which processors do you support?
Drop-in: CCBill, Verotel / SegPay, Epoch, RocketGate, NMI / MX Merchant, BTCPay, NowPayments, OpenNode. Custom processors via 1-day integration at $500 one-time.
Do you hold funds?
No — we never touch money flow. Routing is an API decision only; the actual transaction runs directly user → your processor → your merchant account. We see BIN + outcome metadata, nothing more.
What's the latency cost?
Routing decision <150 ms p95. Failover retry <800 ms p95. Total checkout overhead vs single-processor is roughly 250 ms median. Conversion impact has been net positive in every test.
How is this priced?
$0.02 per routing decision + 0.5% on failover retries that actually succeed (we only get paid when we save the transaction). No monthly minimum. Volume discounts above 100K tx/month.
PCI compliance?
We're PCI-DSS Level 1 for the routing layer — no card data is ever stored or transmitted via our infrastructure. We route by BIN + metadata only. Your existing PCI scope is unchanged.
