Why Can’t I Get Paid?

Major processors don’t allow CBD. You need to move to a place where you can get paid.

Most High Risk Payment Processors Don’t Work With Shopify

If you just built your CBD site on Shopify, Wix, Godaddy or BigCommerce, you’re in for a rude awakening – getting paid is going to be the hardest part of your business. That’s because most of those systems primarily work with Squareup, Stripe and PayPal – all of which prohibit CBD.

Even if you’re processing with one of those three options now, you’ll eventually get shut down and they may (especially in PayPal’s case) hold your funds for 6 months.

So what do you do now?

Try to find one of the very few solutions that work with Shopify, but make sure that you’re not risking your credit and ability to apply for legitimate accounts by signing up for a less-than-savory option.

If your processing agent can’t tell you the bank, the system name, what code, your descriptor, hold times, app times, you’re going to sign up for something that can get you flagged by G2 or get you on the Match/TMF list. You won’t be able to get processing for at least 5 years after such a violation. 

Also, are you on an Aggregate MID? Do you know what that is?

Offshore? Well, it’s expensive, high decline rates, 10% reserves are standard, you can’t take Mastercard (or was it Visa) and pretty often people simply just don’t get paid.

We’ll help you navigate the software, integrations and payment processing space so you can be up, processing and focusing on growing your business.

If you’re on Shopify, you’re just focusing on how to get paid. That’s a huge bummer for everyone. If you’re on Woo, you’re ahead of the game.

Shopify is a great system. But using it for CBD E-Commerce is kinda as smart as building your house on the San Andreas Fault.
