Frequently Asked Questions
How do I accept payments for CBD products? Expand
Suppose you’re looking to expand the payment options you offer at your CBD business to include credit and debit cards. In that case, you’ll first need to secure a specialty merchant account through a payment processor experienced in that area.
This is because several factors have led payment technology companies to consider CBD businesses hard to place, requiring a specialty merchant account.
Luckily, there are a few CBD payment processors like North that have years of industry experience and expertise with specialty payment processing and can offer high approval rates and affordable and compliant credit card processing to CBD merchants.
You’ll just need to provide a few more details during the application process and, depending on your situation, you may be required to keep a small portion of your credit card transaction proceeds in what is called a rolling reserve. This is to help pay off chargebacks, though here at North we have solutions to help you minimize those costly disputes and stop fraud before it happens.
Why do CBD businesses require specialty payment processing? Expand
CBD businesses have traditionally been considered “specialty” or “hard to place” businesses for several reasons. For starters, local laws differ, while outdated regulatory laws regarding CBD products have led to increased federal restrictions.
As a result, there’s been some trepidation regarding CBD merchant processing. Then there’s the high rate of chargebacks associated with the industry.
Therefore, while you may not think of your CBD operation as hard to place, as of now merchants selling CBD need specialty merchant accounts to accept credit and debit cards. The good news is, forward-thinking CBD payment processors like North are here to provide CBD businesses with direction. We have decades of experience working with specialty businesses. Our credit card processing even comes with the latest tools to help minimize chargebacks and fraud, so you can maximize your profits.
Let North take the edge off payment processing.
While the CBD industry is relatively new, we’re not. Work with North for a CBD merchant account from a reliable payment processor — one who understands your industry and who has been around since 1992.
