Vape & Smoke Shop Merchant Account FAQs
Why are vape and smoke shops considered high-risk?
​
Processors consider vape, tobacco and CBD products higher risk because of regulations, age restrictions and card brand rules. Many standard processors won't approve these shops, so working with high-risk specialists matters.
​
Can my smoke shop get a Clover POS?
​
Yes. Smoke shops can get a Clover POS through our Equipment Placement Program, typically with no hardware charge and a $99 two-day shipping fee.
​
Do you work with shops that sell CBD?
​
Yes. Shops that sell CBD usually need to provide their top three CBD products along with certificates of analysis (COAs). This typically adds about two business days to setup.
​
Can I use a cash discount program?
​
Yes. A cash discount program can offset most of your processing costs. We supply the signage and set up the program for you.
​
How fast can my shop get set up?
​
Many shops are up and running as soon as the next business day after approval, while shops that sell CBD typically take about two business days.
