This article is intended for adults (18+) and discusses consensual relationships from an educational and psychological perspective.
Let’s look at a payment gateway called Epoch. You may have heard the name, but not from your friends or popular sites. You may have seen them on your credit card bill the last time you paid for virtual stuff in a game. Epoch helps people buy things without their partners finding out. If your wife asks about your Epoch charges, you can say it’s an early Christmas gift. She does not need to know you spent it on games.
But Epoch is not just about keeping things secret. It is an alternative to PayPal. You need an alternative when PayPal stops helping you. PayPal does not like the adult content industry. So, you use Epoch. You add their payment system to your site. Your customers can pay with credit cards, without needing to make an account.
The best part of Epoch is that it is certified and safe. Your customers’ credit card details are secure. There have been problems with Epoch in the past, but the company says these claims are wrong. Let’s talk about their main features.
Complete Payment Methods
If you make your customers use only one payment method, they may leave your site. People do not like payment systems that look shady. If you only accept VISA and not MasterCard, it looks bad. That is why you need to offer many ways to pay. Epoch covers many options: VISA, MasterCard, Maestro, Discover, Diner’s Club, and even some lesser-known ones like Qiwi, AstroPay, Todito Cash, and Przelewy 24. This way, most of your customers can pay. You do not need PayPal, because Epoch works on its own.
International Reach
Epoch works in 43 countries, mostly in Europe. To use Epoch, your business must be based in Europe. One person from your team must live there. If you are not in Europe, you can still use Epoch by having a partner in Europe to handle your funds. It’s tricky, but it can work.
Support 24/7
When setting up a payment system, you want support all the time. Epoch understands this. They offer chat, phone, and email support. You can reach them whenever you need help.
Some Bad Reviews
Like most services that handle money, Epoch has bad reviews. Most bad reviews come from customers, not web admins. People like to write bad reviews, but not good ones. Keep in mind that Epoch does not take money from customers. The web admins do. So, if there is a problem, the fault may not be with Epoch.
Many adult web admins like Epoch, and their system works well. They offer features such as one-click billing and recurring payments. If you want to use them, contact their sales team. You can call, email, or use Skype to get in touch.
