You need a merchant account from a high-risk processor, combined with a generic gateway like Authorize.Net. (Don't use their built in processor) The all in one solutions like Stripe or Adyen are convenient but they aren't what high-risk industries need.

Yes, but how are adult toy sellers "high risk"?

High chargeback rate when one partner won't fess up to spending $300 at Bob's House'O'Dildos?

Because shipping 6 dildos to Texas can put you in jail.

The US federal overturn of the Texas law was based around Roe v Wade which has itself been overturned so the Texas law is now back in action.

From the article: “According to Section 43.23 of the Texas penal code, although it doesn’t clearly state dildos, the law still regulates the possession of ‘obscene devices’”

liberal propaganda derived from an SNL skit.

The Forbidden Fruit raid from 1989 was real. I recommend doing some research so that you are not so embarassingly ignorant.

Do you have a recommendation for a middle layer for making pretty checkout flows via the API? Authorize.net is what we use - but their API is tough.

I'd love to see a Stripe style wrapper around Authorize, but I don't think it exists. Just thankful we can use JSON now instead of their XML API.
