Why do smoke shops have trouble getting payment processing?

Smoke shops are classified as high-risk merchants by most payment processors due to regulatory concerns and higher chargeback rates in the industry. Many mainstream processors refuse to work with tobacco and vape retailers.

How quickly can my smoke shop get approved for processing?

Most smoke shop merchant accounts are approved within 24-48 hours. We specialize in high-risk accounts and have streamlined our underwriting process for your industry.

Will my account get frozen like with other processors?

We work with banks and payment networks that specifically understand and accept smoke shop merchants. Our accounts are underwritten correctly from the start, minimizing the risk of surprise freezes or closures.
