That won't help. The CC companies will still be facilitating the purchasing of the products which exist on the site.

Then reduce amount off during sales and give people bonus credits whenever they buy something. Bonus credits can be used wherever...

Or... They can create their own crypto coin and people can buy that with dollars. Visa and MasterCard don't stop people (although do charge a ridiculous fee) from buying crypto already, which can be used on all sorts of more nefarious dealings.

We can get even more convoluted if we need to.
