Source and Implement a high-risk payment gateway

Experience Level: Entry
Estimated project duration: 1 - 2 weeks
We are looking for an experienced developer who can source and implement a reliable high-risk payment gateway for our adult content platform. The ideal candidate should have previous experience working with high-risk / adult industry payment solutions and be able to manage the full integration process from start to finish.

Scope of Work:

Research and recommend the best-suited high-risk payment gateway providers for our needs.
Handle application and onboarding with the provider.
Implement and integrate the payment gateway with our platform.
Ensure secure payment processing, including compliance with PCI standards.
Test and troubleshoot to guarantee smooth user experience from payment initiation to confirmation.
Provide clear documentation and support for the integration.

Considerations:

Please note we operate in the adult industry and restricted on the possible merchants we can use. In addition to this we are a start up and in turn not very attractive to most. This may mean we need a temporary or manipulated solution until we have steady cashflow/revenue to satisfy the more mainstream providers.

Requirements:

Proven experience integrating high-risk or adult industry payment gateways.
Strong background in payment security, encryption, and compliance.
Ability to deliver a fully working and tested solution.
Excellent communication and transparency throughout the process.

Deliverable:
A fully functional payment gateway integration that works seamlessly for users, including successful transaction processing, confirmation, and error handling.

If you have experience with this type of project, please share:

Examples of previous high-risk payment integrations.
Your recommended gateway(s).
Timeline and cost (please be specific, we cannot have a call with every freelancer and wish to avoid wasting time going back and forth)

We want this project completed efficiently and correctly, ensuring long-term stability and compliance.
