CBD PAYMENT PROCESSING:


HOW TO GET THE MERCHANT
TO ACCOUNT FOR CBD
BUSINESS?
What is a Merchant Account?
Many people are unaware that selling CBD in the U.S. is legal, as long as it does
not contain more than 0.3 percent T.H.C. However, CBD businesses face other
significant risks as well. Many banks view CBD vendors as "high-risk," which
makes it challenging to provide payment processing.

We have provided a guide below to help ease the struggle of finding the right
processing company. Learn about the issues with high-risk merchant accounts and
the common mistakes other CBD vendors make in this guide.
CBD Breakdown
By 2024, the CBD market is anticipated to reach $20 billion in sales, according to
the B.D.S.A. This makes it one of the hemp and cannabis industry's fastest-growing
subsectors. To participate in the business prospects of CBD, you must first become
familiar with cannabinoids. You can better market products to your customers if you
know what they are and how they are used. It's also important to think about the
different aspects of running a successful CBD business from a commercial
perspective and what they entail.
How Does CBD Differ From Hemp And
Cannabis?
Cannabis sativa is the species from which both hemp and cannabis are derived.
They both grow for various purposes and have various traits. "Hemp" refers to
cannabis plant strains with minimal T.H.C. This euphoric component gives the
adaptable plant its potential for usage in a wide range of various businesses.

You may already be aware that hemp and cannabis plants contain the chemical
CBD. CBD oil can be extracted from these plants to make CBD oil products. The
distinction is that hemp is lawful to cultivate, harvest, and process in the U.S. since
it contains less than 0.3% THC. Cannabis is prohibited on a federal level when it
contains more than 0.3% THC.
What is a CBD Merchant Account?

An account explicitly authorized for use in selling some or all CBD products is
known as a CBD merchant account. Most well-known merchant account providers,
(and even several high-risk specialists) won't accept merchants selling CBD
products since those businesses are considered extremely high risk.
Why is CBD Merchant Processing
Considered High Risk?
CBD businesses struggle to secure services that other online merchants utilise to
speed up orders and enable payments, because of the strong (and constantly
changing) legislative CBD and hemp products. You have full right to start a
merchant account for your company if you sell CBD. But you can run across the
following issues.
Higher than average value transaction rates
Rolling reserves
Unexpected holds on funds
Running a CBD business becomes challenging, especially given the current
economy. You must choose your merchant service provider with care and make sure
they specialize in CBD processing. If not, you are putting yourself at risk for
account closure, having your funds held, or even end up in a blacklist where you
can’t get another merchant account under your name or business name.
Benefits of Opening a CBD Merchant
Account?
There are many benefits of opening a CBD merchant account, including:
Accepting multiple payment types online/instore, including credit card payments
Handling returns/refunds/partial refunds
Safer than just accepting cash
Better money management
What are The Fees Associated with the
CBD merchant account?
The fees and charges vary depending on several variables, including the history of
merchant processing, the industry (high risk or low risk), and/or the anticipated
sales volume. Although every merchant account is different, typical costs include:

 Merchant discount rate


 Cost per transaction
 Recurring statement fee
 Recurring gateway fee
 A rolling six-month reserve
 Chargeback fee
 Refund charge

Kratom and CBD
It is challenging for new kratom businesses or those with small monthly processing
volumes to set up credit card processing, because kratom goods currently carry a
high-risk classification, restricting payment acceptance possibilities. Because of
this, only the biggest retailers are often given consideration for a sponsored kratom
credit card processing account.

As a result, in order to sell kratom goods both online and offline, merchants need
high-risk payment processing options. Fortunately, there is kratom payment
processing available.

There is, thankfully, an option if you're seeking a high-risk kratom merchant


account. Merchantech is happy to assist kratom business owners in obtaining the
merchant accounts they want because they have years of experience in high-risk
payment processing. To make the payment processing for your company easier, we
provide kratom merchant accounts at affordable prices and partner with reputable
banks across the world.
