Sounds like another case of payment processors wanting to fuck shit up in places they have no business doing anything, from what I could get from the article.
Translation mine:
Many manga are now unfortunately going to fall out of print, with no way for many to accessibly read them. The mangaka whose works were published on this site tried for more than ten years to enable this venture to succeed, but in recent years, card companies (among others) made doing so impossible.
