Are you struggling with smoke shop payment processing?
Dependable Smoke Shop & Vape Merchant Accounts
Looking for a Reliable Smoke Shop Payment Processing?
You’ve come to the right place! At Bankcard International Group, we specialize in smoke shop payment processing and vape merchant accounts. We understand the unique challenges faced by businesses in this industry, from navigating constantly evolving regulations to managing the risks associated with selling age-restricted products. Whether you run a physical smoke shop or an online vape store, we’re here to help you set up a secure and efficient payment processing system so you can focus on what matters most—growing your business.
The Challenges of Running a Smoke and Vape Shop
Operating a smoke or vape shop comes with its fair share of hurdles. From government regulations and card brand restrictions to liability and reputational risks, it’s no wonder smoke shop merchants are classified as high-risk. This classification often makes it difficult to secure a reliable merchant account, but that’s where we come in. With nearly two decades of experience working with high-risk industries, Bankcard International Group is equipped to provide stable, efficient, and compliant solutions tailored to the needs of smoke and vape shops.
Smoke Shop Payment Processing Shouldn’t Be a Headache
As a vape or smoke shop owner, accepting multiple forms of payment is critical to your success. Whether you operate a brick-and-mortar store or an online head shop, you need a payment processor that understands the complexities of your industry. Many traditional payment processors aren’t equipped to handle transactions involving products like vape pens, bongs, or tobacco products. However, at BIG, we are ready and able to meet these needs.
Our vast experience with high-risk merchant accounts has allowed us to build strong banking partnerships that enable us to provide reliable payment processing solutions for vape and smoke shops, regardless of their product offerings. From e-liquids and vaporizers to CBD and kratom, we can help you get approved for a vape merchant account quickly and seamlessly.
BIG Eliminates Payment Processing Challenges
Why Traditional Processors Often Fall Short on Vape Merchant Accounts
Many traditional payment processors are unable to offer smoke shop payment processing because of the nature of the products sold. Items like tobacco, vape pens, and other paraphernalia are often flagged as high-risk, making it difficult for smoke shops to obtain retail or eCommerce merchant accounts. Online vape shops face even greater hurdles due to the nature of eCommerce sales, which are more prone to fraudulent activity and chargebacks. Additionally, the credit card associations enforce strict regulations on businesses that sell age-restricted products, further complicating the payment process for these merchants.
How Bankcard International Group Stands Out
This is where Bankcard International Group shines. Our team is well-versed in navigating the complexities of high-risk merchant accounts. We have a track record of providing tailored solutions for businesses that sell vape and smoke shop products.
