FAQ
- Is a dating site high-risk?
- Yes, under most sponsor-bank classifications, even for fully-compliant platforms. Chargeback exposure on subscription cancellations is the main driver.
- Can I do free-trial-to-paid conversion?
- Yes. Tokenise the card on free-trial signup, fire the first paid charge on day-N, and webhook-listen for failed charges so your fulfilment can pause access.
