One question we often come across is “why is it so darn hard for e-commerce site owners selling hemp products online to accept payments anyway?”
Why it’s hard for online stores to sell CBD products, and what you can do about it
Unfortunately, if you’ve been selling hemp products or CBD oil online for a while you already know that it’s not easy. You might have come across many of the different challenges that are common to this industry. The main problem is that if you sell hemp oil, hemp products, or CBD-based products online you’re a high-risk merchant. Now, that can sound a bit intimidating, but there’s no need to worry.
Being in a high-risk category simply means that your industry often experiences challenges that most standard websites don’t. This means that banks and merchant service providers are hesitant to offer their services. The good news is that, as an online business owner, you still have choices. The only difficulty is finding the information that gives you the help you need. This is where we come in. We are here to help provide you the resources, processors, payment gateways and information you need to succeed with your CBD website. To start, here are some do’s and don’ts:
Do’s and don’ts of high-risk sales
This might seem simple for some of you, but it’s always good to go over the basics.
Hemp product and CBD oil product do’s:
- Use a high-risk friendly payment gateway
- Use a high-risk friendly e-commerce platform and software
- Use a high-risk merchant account
- Consult a qualified attorney before launching your site
While this might sound obvious, it’s very important to repeat it every now and then. Too often we see site owners who have accidentally set up the wrong foundation for their e-commerce site. We’ve been able to help and give them the payment gateway they need. If you’re curious what platforms you ought to keep an eye out for you can check out our overview of high-risk friendly platforms in our main menu, under CBD Payment Gateways.
Selling hemp products online don’ts:
- Fall to the temptation of a quick fix (like setting up PayPal or Stripe to accept credit cards)
- Use merchant services that don’t specialize in your business type
- Use an e-commerce platform that doesn’t accept your product types
- Break the law, even “innocently”
The potential issues here can be far-reaching and severe. You’ll run the risk of having your accounts frozen or shut down, or even end up having your funds frozen. Not to mention the obvious – losing your payment processing abilities or getting into regulatory trouble. Essentially, these are things to avoid if you’re in a high-risk industry.
