    Default For those with Alertpay...

    which type of account do you have? they have three options and Im not sure to go with the personal starter or persnal pro. I am going to use the account mainly to recieve payments for custom stuff I do for members of my Southern Charms site and maybe cam shows and didint know if this site was worth it for that or if there is a better option
    I don't feel myself today
    Just a figure in a big monopoly game
    Struggle is the price you pay
    You get just enough just to give it away
    I'm sinking but I'm floating away
    Throw me a line so I can anchor my pain
    The fabric is about to fray

    There was something here about alertpay was putting camgirl applications on hold or something like that. Any truth to this story?

    When I signed up with Alertpay I chose the most Starter but it had some silly tiny limit it could hold. I surpassed that limit with my first payout from camming. I simply got an email from them saying that had automatically changed it to the upgraded Pro version for me.

    I signed up with alertpay 1 month ago and I had no problems making an account. Unless something has changed in this month over any other month, I don't see why they'd be blocking camgirl applications. When I created my account, there was no way i'd tell them what it was for. I don't see a way in which they could screen the applications.

    @buffyflame

    if you can find that thread I would love to read it.....I didn't see that anywhere here

    but I did find some forum posts over 2 years old discussing that they used to not allow it - but if MFC claims to process with Alertpay for free, I see no reason to doubt it; we'll see when my first check comes through I guess!

    When me and other ladies on SW tired to submit our adult website to alertpay they sent us an email saying our website were rejected because they can't currently provide services for our business.. or something along those line.

    Here are a couple of threads:




    -----------------------------------
    There's a couple of camsites that use paypal and or alertpay to send payment to camgirls. I dont know how camsites are getting around paypal since we all know there story with adult content. But MFC may have been approved by alertpay before they started rejecting adult websites... or maybe they have enough money where alertpay doesnt really care. I don't really no lol.

    ^ MFC pays out through PayPal as well, so they must have some sort of cover story.


    I created a Business Account on AlertPay, because when I started camming there was a thread on here about hiding your identity on AlertPay (I read that the only way to hide your name was to have a business account, use your cam name as your Business Name, and then have your real name on the account, where it would be hidden).

    Signing up for a business account, they ask you your Business Industry and Business Category. "Adult and Mature Audiences" is an option under Business Industry. Categories under this are: "Adult novelties and toys", "Anime and Hentai", "Artistic", "Commercial Photography", "Erotic Books and Stories", "Forums and Bulletin Boards", "Mature Audiences", "Mature Companionship Services", "Online Dating", "Pornography and Explicit Content", "Revenue Sharing", "Softcore", and "Webcam and Live Shows".

    SO... You *can* use AlertPay to accept adult payments.

    HOWEVER. Before you can accept credit card payments on your website, you need to go through the website review process, which I believe is what the problem has been lately - AP not accepting credit cards through camgirl sites.

    If you're just using it to accept cash though, it's totally allowed.

    Yea I'm pretty sure all the camsite that use paypal have a cover story. I remember getting a payment from a site and they used a different name. I was paranoid that my money was going to get taken so I switch payment settings.

    Yep I signed up for a Business account, went through the review process just to be told that they weren't accepting adult website at the time. I should of said you can still accept AP payments if you have an adult website by using the email invoice but you just cant use the nice little payment buttons.

    Hopefully I can shed some light on this subject since we've been setting up payment processing and payout system for our site ExtraLunchMoney.

    From what we learned there are very few payment processors (ie companies that will process credit card transactions on your behalf) who will handle adult related businesses. Paypal stopped allowing adult stuff a few years ago and then Alert Pay stopped as well. However, the rules don't say anything about paying people money using those services...so this is why you'll see adult sites using Paypal or Alertpay to send models money. But when they charge their users for tokens they are using a different processing system.

    It's all pretty maddening, but after talking with some people in the industry it makes sense why there are so few payment processors for adult sites...apparently people who buy porn and other adult stuff are notorious for chargebacks (calling their credit card company and getting a refund rather than going through the merchant). This ends up being too financially risky so these companies end up just saying "the hell with it" and don't allow adult stuff.

    In the end for us we went with CC Bill payment processing and Alert Pay for payout.

    and I would like to add that, to me, it's actually better that way if you are selling something that needs to be scheduled like a cam show. that way you don't have anyone clicking buttons and paying and then asking for a refund if you aren't there 24/7 to jump right on cam like some idiots expect.

    Thumbs up Re: For those with Alertpay...

    I signed up a Business AlertPay account (Adult blablabla/Webcam), and the amazing buttons are available for use them. =]

    AlertPay is the only online payment system for adult services that works in my region.

    I have a personal pro
    I can use it to receive payments from another alertpay account
    but can't use the buttons on my website
    I have contacted them moths ago and they said that adult websites were on hold and that they will let me know when they solve the problem ..I didn't heared from them so I sent an email and it was the same answer : ADULT WEBSITES ON HOLD

    NB: AN ALTERNATIVE IS ZOMBAIO (highly recommended )

    Zombaio doesn't cover my area. =(

    So, I'm worried, because, I've created a Business account on AlertPay, but I don't have a real and registered business. Would I have problems with that, when I decide to transfer my payment to my bank account?

    I want to protect my real name and I don't know other options to my area.

    You can click to be a "sole trader" (or something similar) and they wont ask for any business details/verification.
