Dating Site Dilemma

So after getting a lot of interest from my local community in a small town in Ontario, I started off my journey with Adalo to build a long term relationship, dating and BFF app. Adalo is great, community is great. so much to learn here.

This is my first ever app so i am pretty excited about it, however little i knew i will come across several challenges. Once my app was setup on web (not on ios or google yet) and running with my early users, I started exploring the paywall/payment options. Adalo has only two options: Stripe and IAPhub.

  1. Stripe strongly dislikes dating sites because they are high risk business and most of the applications are rejected.
  2. IAPHub only works with native apps on ios and android.

I started exploring other options:

  1. Zapier + Square + Adalo integration: First I don’t know how to successfully run that automation. Secondly although Square does have a subscription option, it is more about delivering products and not so much about accepting recurring subscriptions for services like dating sites.
  2. Paypal: I called paypal and they said they have the same rules as Stripe and i will run into the same issue. They can’t help me.

I really don’t know where to go next. Has anyone built a dating app and successfully implemented a payment solution?
