HI all, I run a replica site doing 300-500k a month... I currently have 2 processors in the USA, one which knows what we actually sell ( and works with us) the other which doesn't and we have just as a backup. we use a dummy site and a middleware to push the transactions through so the banks do not technically know what's going on... We also invest a good amount in SEO and have ranked number 1 across 60+ keywords. All that being said, ive navigated this just from learning along the way and have figured out how to keep it chugging along with relative ease.. recently though Louis Vuitton sent over infringement claims to Google to de-index us from search, and also sent over what I assume is relevant info to Mastercard/Visa etc.. We were hit with a BRAM violation today from MC and our MID was taken down leaving us without processing.
My question is this... I need guidance on keeping processing up whether that's a processor inside the USA or outside.. Now that myself and sig other are prob on the MATCH list, how do I get go about getting signed up for processing? Do i specifically need another persons name for the app? at worst do I go dark web for this stuff? how much risk is there in that? Is there a way to keep keep the card companies from knowing who/what bank is running our transactions? are their banks that dont respond to take down requests?
I effectively have all the other parts of the business lines up... systems, product, Social ads, branding, hosting, SEO, blah blah... I Can change out my URL, host, whatever no issue... I have the customer base in tact and can run ads through FB, TT no prob due to cloaking... but i cant effectively keep processing active continually.. Its been the bane of my existence. Also, willing to pay a consult fee for someone whos legitimately experienced in this world and can lead me in the right direction.
Hope to hear from you all.
Thanks
