Don't lie to them. If you or your business has been refused by another payment processor because your location for example, don't hide this. Each processor has their own ways they can work with with you. Don't lie about your content either. If you lie to them now and get caught later, your funds will be withheld, your site won't be able to process transactions, and all the work you have done up to that point could be lost. Tell them your exact situation, your domain, your content etc, and if there are any potential roadblocks, they will tell you how to adjust for them, and about potential work-arounds if they exist.

Try to think of your payment processor as your business partner. If you work with them the way they can work with you, you will both come out on top.
Fantastic information. Thanks, Mark! I will definitely keep this in mind.

The more that I read up on this, the more of a pain in the neck it becomes! I am trying to find the easiest, one-stop, all in one solution — but it appears that there isn’t one.
