CBD Payment Gateways that work with Shopify

Are you trying to accept credit card payments on your CBD Shopify site? Are you having difficulty getting the high-risk payment gateway you need to process payments? You’re not alone.

Luckily, CBDGateways can help. So you don’t have to be among those who can’t accept payments or run the risk of “held money” and shut down merchant accounts. We’ll set you up with the best Shopify CBD payment gateway – plus, we will help you set it all up.

At CBDgateways, we believe that all CBD businesses should be able to use the same software, carts, and e-commerce platforms that more “standard” companies do. From this belief, we’ve found ways to integrate CBD merchant accounts with the most popular shopping carts. As a result, we can help as many business owners as possible.

Our CBD-friendly payment gateways integrate with just about every website builder – including Shopify.

If you’d like to know more about why it’s a challenge to accept debit and credit card payments online for CBD – we’ll cover this in more detail below. However, if you’re ready to make your online payment processing problems a thing of the past, contact CBDGateways today.

Use a CBD merchant account/payment gateway for Shopify

Online CBD continues to increase after taking the US by storm a few years ago. The demand continues – yet it’s not the most accessible industry to operate in. As an entrepreneur in the CBD industry, we wouldn’t be surprised if the challenges in accepting payments came as something of a shock. After all, the demand and normalization of CBD products have happened quickly pretty much across the States. However, things rarely move as quickly for financial institutions and credit card issuers.

While merchant service providers specialize in offering their services to the crowd and most businesses, CBD e-commerce businesses aren’t the same as “most” businesses. As a more tightly regulated product, CBD product sellers and resellers are treated as a “high-risk” business in the payment processing world.

This means that there aren’t as many payment processors who can help you accept payments for your products. Luckily, we can quickly help set you up with the high-risk merchant account and payment gateway you need to safely and reliably accept payments online.

Shopify Payments, PayPal, and Stripe payment alternatives for CBD

There are plenty of positives to using big brand names. PayPal, Stripe, Shopify Payments, and similar payment solutions certainly fit this description. However, while they are excellent for most businesses, the big payment gateway merchant account combos are not a great fit for most regulated companies.

This results from how “payment aggregators” mitigate risk while offering almost instant payment processing ability. These big players are fantastic for most websites, but they are mostly incompatible with high-risk businesses – like CBD.

Shopify Payments has similar benefits and drawbacks to Stripe. Why? Because essentially Shopify Payments IS Stripe.

Shopify Payments is a great payment gateway for most businesses using Shopify. However, when you’re selling CBD products, you shouldn’t rely on them. Stripe prohibits CBD, and therefore it is prohibited by Shopify Payments too.

You can easily access Shopify Payments’ Terms of Service here. On the other hand, if you’re ready to set up your CBD Shopify store with the payment processing you need – please get in touch with us today.

You can sell CBD on Shopify

Shopify is one of the best all-in-one e-commerce platforms currently available. It’s particularly impressive from a selling and merchandise management perspective. In addition, where other platforms might have more freedom in terms of design and visual presentation, Shopify’s library of third-party apps and pure e-commerce ability is simply impressive.

However, as a CBD product seller, you should be aware that you need to use third-party payment processing. The good news is that we can quickly set you up with a payment gateway for your CBD Shopify store.

BigCommerce CBD Merchant Accounts

At CBDgateways, we believe all CBD website owners deserve to have a choice when it comes to what platform and shopping cart they use. We will make sure your CBD business can use BigCommerce to process credit card payments for CBD online. We’ll pair you with the best possible BigCommerce CBD merchant accounts available.

Are you considering setting up your CBD business with BigCommerce? Or have you already created your CBD BigCommerce website but are struggling to accept credit card payments?

Then you’ve come to the right place. We can help you process CBD payments on BigCommerce.

At CBDgateways, we will find the best CBD merchant account for your unique needs. What sets us apart? We don’t directly provide a single, one-size-fits-all CBD merchant account in-house. What we do – on the other hand – is facilitate them. This allows us to remain impartial and work proactively to find what is best for you.

We work with a wide network of CBD-merchant-account payment processors and can easily connect you with the high-risk credit card processor that best fits you.

As a result, we’ll not only find the best high-risk merchant account for your CBD business; we’ll make sure it’s a perfect fit with BigCommerce too. As a result, you can take full advantage of all the BigCommerce has to offer with the confidence that your payment processing is in safe and reliable hands.

BigCommerce is an excellent choice for startups and enterprises alike

BigCommerce powers some of the biggest brands out there. As a small CBD startup, this can be a little intimidating. After all, can smaller, new companies use the same framework and software that huge brands use? Yes. The great thing with BigCommerce is that it offers excellent tiers with a low barrier to entry.

The benefit of this approach is that even CBD startups can use BigCommerce without breaking the bank. Even better, however, is that as your business grows, BigCommerce can grow with you.

BigCommerce CBD payment processors

You must use a CBD merchant account and integrate it with your BigCommerce store. While BigCommerce lists PayPal with a special credit card rate in their pricing and FAQ page, it’s not a good match with high-risk businesses. So when you sell CBD on BigCommerce, you need to use high-risk payment processing. In other words – you need a CBD merchant account.

Find the best CBD merchant account for your business

BigCommerce can absolutely be a great choice for your CBD business. However, you need high-risk payment processing to accept payments safely. The good news is that we can help you find high-risk payment gateways and merchant services.

At CBDgateways, we do things a little differently

We consider your products, business model, and (of course) the shopping cart software you use to sell your products. This way, we can find the very best CBD merchant account for your specific CBD business.

To provide some context, we can quickly help find you an ideal CBD merchant account if you sell any of the following:

CBD Concentrates
CBD with Legal Levels of Delta 8 or Delta 9 THC
CBD Topicals, Lotions, Sprays, and Ointments
CBD for Pets
CBD Flower
Broad Spectrum CBD Oils and Drops
CBD Drinks, Gummies, and Edibles
CBD Vape and E-juice
CBD Tinctures
CBD Distillates
CBD Extracts
We know the CBD space, we know shopping carts and e-commerce platforms – and we know the processing world. So if you’d like CBDgateways in your corner to help you find the best merchant account for your CBD BigCommerce store, contact us today.
