Adult websites sell: Memberships, VOD, Digital Downloads, and Tangibles (Toys, DVDs, clothing).
PayPal allows some of that (like Tangibles). Not sure about Memberships. Remember, PayPal is 20 years old, with a long, long history of shutting down accounts for any reason of the day.
CCBill allows all of that.
Epoch - no on Tangibles.
FirstChoice (was Payoneer, Payoneer is now totally non-adult freelancers) - Peer to peer personal payments. At last check, no "shopping cart" IPN.
Paxum - Peer to peer personal payments. At last check, no "shopping cart" IPN. You may want to ask Ruth how far the term "personal" goes, and whether you should then be a business account, and if Business accounts have IPN shopping cart APIs.
(IPN is the term PayPal uses for Instant Payment Notification. What CCBill refers to as "Post Back", the PHP/HTML function known as $_POST, where you send the customer to PP/CCBill for payment, and PP or CCBill sends $_POST data, which is a simple human readable Array, to your webpage with the transaction processing result. There is a Java/XML method as well. Not as human readable.)
Tangibles are low "risk," therefore not (usually) subject to the V/MC $500 annual "risk" fee.
The easiest, most all-encompassing payment processor is CCBill- for Programs and for Affiliates. They pay-out worldwide with options such as Checks, Wires, ACH (US), SEPA (Europe).
