Mobile Billing: Offerings in Europe, the U.S.
Mobile/wireless technology has evolved considerably since the late 1990s, and in 2011, mobile devices aren’t just for making phone calls; they are also used for everything from checking soccer scores to sending e-mail to getting the local weather forecast. Further, mobile devices are often used for viewing erotic entertainment (mobile erotica is especially popular in Europe), and more and more, they are being used to pay for it.

E-Wallets Provide Versatile Alternative
The almighty credit card continues to be the dominant payment method for e-commerce in the U.S., but when one travels around the world, it becomes quite apparent that man does not live by credit card alone in cyberspace. Indeed, the fact that credit cards are so popular among American consumers doesn’t necessarily mean that they are as popular among consumers in Europe, Asia or Latin America, and American adult webmasters who hope to reach as many non-U.S. markets as possible need to offer as many payment/billing alternatives to credit cards as possible. One area of alternative payments that has grown in popularity in various parts of the world is the pre-paid/pre-loaded sector, which includes e-wallets (also known as digital wallets). With ewallets, one simply adds funds to the e-wallet electronically, and those funds are used to make payments.
Alternatives for Adult Gain Speed
When American webmasters travel to Europe on business, one of the first things they learn is that credit cards aren’t necessarily as revered overseas as they are in the U.S.. Credit cards are a way of life in the U.S., but in many European countries, they take a back seat to alternative payment methods—and one of those methods is direct debiting. Not all of Europe’s noncredit card payments are made with debiting; in Europe, alternative payment methods for online transactions can also include anything from e-wallets to mobile payments. But there are millions of European Internet users who prefer direct debiting whether they are purchasing sex toys, paying their electric bills or joining an adult membership website. The popularity of debiting can vary from one European country to another, but for American webmasters who are hoping to reach European consumers, offering debiting as a payment option makes very good business sense.
