CBD Merchant Account Or
Payment Processing Account
CBD retailers face unique challenges related to CBD merchant account payment processing. Getting a CBD merchant account shut down can literally put you out of business and it happens more often than you might realize. The key to a sustainable CBD merchant account is understanding the challenges specific to CBD merchant accounts and having an experienced payment processing company to help you solve these common challenges.
Top Challenge #1
Product Variations & Adjacent Products
It's common for CBD retailers to have wide variety product line. Hemp-based CBD below the .3% THC level can achieve a transparent CBD merchant account through SPS. However, it gets more challenging when there are adjacent products that sometimes disqualifies a CBD merchant account such as Delta 8, Delta 9, Kratom, Mushrooms and others.
Some of these adjacent products may have a solution, while others may not, but hiding them can get your CBD merchant account shut down and your funds held. Let SPS give you the best, transparent sustainable CBD merchant account solution so you can grow your business.
Top Challenge #2
Health 'Claims'
The FDA vigorously monitors health 'claims' or statements related to CBD related products. Your claims must be general in nature and cannot claim to result in specific benefits or healing without having clinical trials.

We're happy to assist and review your product marketing content to help ensure you stay compliant, so your CBD merchant account is sustainable for the long-term.
Top Challenge #3
Chargeback Rates
The card brands have a threshold for all businesses that accept their cards that your chargeback rates should be less than 1%. Most CBD merchant account service providers simply try and split up your CBD merchant account into multiple smaller accounts to 'spread out' the chargebacks.
