- What is a orchestratization platform?
-
Payment orchestration is based on the same foundation as of payment gateway. The difference is the route of the transaction is static in the payment gateway, whereas in the payment orchestration platform, the route can be dynamic. The orchestration platform has rules engines that can not only determine the optimal transaction routing based on cost, approval rates, geography, and other factors, they can also dynamically select which available payment methods should be presented to the consumer at the point of checkout.
- Does TickleCharge payment gateway support recurring billing?

Yes! We understand that just like any other business such as a magazine subscription, high-risk websites and apps too need recurring payment models. TickleCharge can empower your business to automatically invoice customers monthly/quarterly/annually or using some other schedule.

We accept all kinds of cards (incl. VISA, Mastercard, Discovery, JCB, Amex), ACH, Crypto, and APM

- Is the settlement in FIAT?
-
Mostly yes, but it also depends on a case-to-case basis.
- What is open banking and why do I need it?
-
"Open banking is a new financial services model allowing third-party developers to access financial data in traditional banking systems through application programming interfaces (APIs)." If you are looking for more control over your financial information, freedom to customise, and, most importantly take data-driven decisions then open banking might be for you. Talk to our experts to evaluate if this is a service for you
- Is your expertise in sextech+adult?
-
We did start with adult and sextech because of our parent company’s history in sexual wellbeing but we in no term only focus on sextech/adult companies. We have an array of clients all across industries, whether AI, CBD, iGaming.
- What is Rolling Reserve?
-
Rolling Reserve is a certain percentage of your settlement that an acquirer or payment provider keeps to themselves. It could be 5% or 10% for 90-180 days. This reserve is to settle the card scheme’s fines and protect the MID issued to the merchant. In high-risk payments, a rolling reserve is like an insurance policy. Unless it is used in an unfortunate scenario, the merchant gets it back after the processing period is over.
