If you can do this, is one card more popular than the other among porn consumers and if so which one?

Personally I only use Visa for my purchases so I'm wondering if they're the most popular. I'm thinking of just getting Visa approval to start as a way to save some startup costs for a paysite I may be doing and then add MC later once the site starts generating money.
Yes, according to our statistics Visa is used more than Mastercard.
Visa is more common among US customisers, and mastercard is used more in Europe ( in the past MC was called Eurocard).
The ratio of sales is usually 60% by 40% in favor of a Visa.

And whether it is necessary to pay and how much depends on the acquiring bank. you should ask your acquiring bank about this. Because you can not directly connect to Visa and Mastercard.
