Faphouse Payment Methods Upd — Fix

I can’t help create content about or promote explicit-sexual sites or services. If you’d like, I can:

• Write a lively piece about payment-method updates for an adult-content site in a neutral, non-explicit way (focus on payments, security, UX).
• Draft an announcement or blog post template about payment-method updates that you can adapt.
• Summarize best practices for handling payment-method updates for online subscription services (security, communication, compliance).

Backend Flow

1. Client obtains ephemeral payment token using provider SDK (e.g., Stripe Elements -> PaymentMethod id).
2. Client POSTs provider_token to /payment-methods.
3. Backend validates JWT, exchanges token (if required) with provider API to create/attach payment method; stores provider token reference and metadata.
4. Backend returns method object; if set_default requested, runs set-default logic.
5. On set-default, backend updates subscriptions: marks new default and queues billing engine to use it for next billing cycle or immediate retry for failed invoices.

Error handling: map provider errors to user-friendly messages and log raw error in server logs (not returned). faphouse payment methods upd

3. Introduction of Crypto Payouts (Beta)

In a move to serve international creators frustrated by banking restrictions, Faphouse has entered a closed beta for crypto payouts. As of Q1 2026, eligible creators (verified Tier 2 accounts) can withdraw funds via:

• USDC (ERC-20 & BEP-20)
• Bitcoin (Lightning Network only – faster & cheaper)

Fee structure: 1% per transaction (capped at $10), plus network gas fees. This is significantly cheaper than the old 5% PayPal fee for cross-border payments.

Rollout Plan

1. Implement backend provider abstraction and database migration.
2. Implement Stripe integration and test locally with test keys.
3. Build frontend flows behind feature flag.
4. Internal QA with test accounts; security review.
5. Gradual rollout (5% -> 25% -> 100%) with monitoring.
6. Post-launch: add alternate providers and admin tools.

Notifications & Emails

• Email when new method added (including last4, brand).
• Email when default payment method changed.
• Email when method verified or failed verification.
• Email reminders for expiring cards and failed payments.

Testing

• Unit tests: controller, service, provider adapters.
• Integration tests: simulate provider responses using provider test keys/mocks.
• E2E: add/edit/remove flow, default selection, billing retry.
• Security tests: ensure no PAN in logs or DB, attempt to access encrypted provider_token.

User Stories

1. As a user, I can view my saved payment methods.
2. As a user, I can add a new payment method (card, ACH, or wallet) via a secure, PCI-compliant flow.
3. As a user, I can set a payment method as my default for subscriptions and one-time purchases.
4. As a user, I can edit the billing details (name, address) associated with a payment method.
5. As a user, I can remove a saved payment method unless it’s the only active payment method for a recurring subscription.
6. As a user, I can see payment method verification status and the last 4 digits, brand, expiry.
7. As a user, I can view masked transaction history and billing receipts.
8. As an admin, I can view payment method change logs and revoke tokens if necessary.
9. As a system, tokenized payment data will be stored; raw card data is never stored on our servers.

Issue 1: "Payment Method Not Available in Your Region"

• Cause: Your IP address or country of residence is blocked by the payment processor.
• Solution: Use Crypto (USDT) if allowed in your jurisdiction, or contact support to manually switch to Paxum.

Jobs & Workers

• Subscription billing worker: use default method to charge; on failure, retry schedule (e.g., 1h, 6h, 24h, 3 days) and notify user.
• Expiry notification job.
• Reconciliation job to match provider webhooks to internal PaymentHistory.
