WooCommerce is a fantastic e-commerce plugin for WordPress with a massive user base across industries. It makes it easy for any WordPress site to transform into an e-commerce site, with all the features and abilities you’re looking for. However, using WooCommerce to sell various cannabidiol products online can be a challenge.

At Organic Payment Gateways, we believe every legal CBD business deserves the same chance at success as any other business.

Your ability to accept credit card payments online should not hold back your WooCommerce cannabidiol e-commerce site.

This is why we focus on making it as easy as possible for new and established businesses alike to set up their payment processing to handle high-risk payments in no time.

Why choose WordPress when you sell various CBD products?

WordPress is the most popular and common website platform out there today, which makes it easy to find help from people who are familiar with working with the platform. This is obviously a great benefit should you ever be looking for third-party website assistance. However, one of the main reasons that it’s so popular in the first place is because it makes it extremely easy to integrate third-party plugins due to its open-source nature. WordPress and WooCommerce allow you to effortlessly expand and add to both the features and design of your site.

When you sell different types of cannabidiol products, on the other hand, the most important thing to consider might very well be how to accept CBD payments using WooCommerce.

WooCommerce makes it possible to integrate various “high-risk” merchant accounts and payment gateways to your WooCommerce site.

We love the WooCommerce-WordPress combination for different reasons, but its user-friendliness and compatibility with high-risk credit card processing is certainly at the top of our list.

Processing credit cards online for cannabidiol products

As a WooCommerce site owner selling different types of cannabidiol products, you’ll find that you get a lot of freedom when using WordPress and WooCommerce to run your site. It’s also a great fit with the payment gateways we provide, which in turn will make your credit card processing not only easy but also safe and sustainable in the long run.

Finding a payment gateway for CBD e-commerce can be a real pain if you start on the wrong foot. Many CBD site owners find that standard payment processing services, like PayPal or Stripe, simply won’t work for them. It’s a very frustrating situation to be in. It can also become costly, both in time and money for lost sales, if you temporarily lose your ability to accept credit cards for your products.

This is why it’s so important to know from day one that you need high-risk friendly credit card processing when you sell cannabidiol products online. We can help.

At Organic Payment Gateways, we know that the CBD payment gateways we offer will work for your business. You’ll be able to accept credit card payments on your WooCommerce site for all your different legal cannabidiol products with ease.

At Organic Payment Gateways, we have watched the CBD industry flourish and become one of the most exciting industries around. Even with the growth we’ve seen in recent years, there’s still plenty of contradictions when it comes to how new and existing CBD businesses can set up merchant accounts and payment gateways in order to accept credit cards online.

Our goal is to provide legal, hemp-derived CBD site owners the answers they need to set up an easy, reliable payment gateway on their existing website.

Here, we’ll go over one of the most misunderstood aspects of applying for a payment gateway: do you need a gateway only or a payment gateway merchant account combo?

If you are new to selling legal, hemp-derived, CBD online, our goal is to take some of the confusion out of setting up payments. What you’ll get out of it is that you’ll know exactly what you need before you apply. What we hope to achieve is that we’ll ideally save you hours of frustration and help prevent any unnecessary launch delays.

There are two types of payment processing needs

Solution 1 for CBD websites: gateway only

CBD businesses that have a merchant account but need a payment gateway to connect it to their shopping cart are often frustrated by the different terminology and various solutions promoted online.

Generally, site owners can apply for their payment gateway and merchant account from the same payment provider. Often CBD businesses do not even realize that the payment gateway is the software piece that connects to their shopping cart and the merchant account is the payment processing relationship that deposits into their regular business checking account.

If you already have a merchant account for your CBD site, for example, through a local credit union that does not have e-commerce expertise, you need a payment gateway like NMI, or Authorize.net, to connect that merchant account to your shopping cart.

We set up “gateway only” accounts that work with all major shopping carts including WooCommerce, Shopify, Clickfunnels, and dozens more.

Solution 2 for CBD websites: payment gateway and merchant account

Usually, new CBD businesses trying to connect a shopping cart to payment processing need both a merchant account and a payment gateway. Often, these are sold together as an “all-in-one” bundle, making the distinction between the two pieces even more unclear.

When selling CBD online, many website owners will understandably want to use familiar, big-name payment processors like PayPal, Stripe, or the gateway that comes with their shopping cart. However, popular shopping carts like Shopify are “Powered by Stripe,” which prohibits the sale of high-risk products like CBD on their platform and requires a CBD-friendly Stripe alternative.

Organic Payment Gateways offers easily integrated payment gateways so you can sell your CBD products online and process credit cards with less stress. Our high-risk-friendly payment gateways and merchant accounts integrate with WooCommerce, Shopify, BigCommerce, Wix, and ClickFunnels, so you can continue using the platform you love without having to start over.

Can you sell CBD using a Stripe payment gateway?

No. Stripe has many categories of restricted businesses listed in their Services Agreement which includes, as they put it, “Products containing any amount of CBD/THC.” But don’t take our word for it – you can read the portion of the Stripe Services Agreement that covers restricted businesses on their website to see for yourself.

Fortunately, we offer stable alternatives to Stripe. Organic Payment Gateways has helped many high-risk businesses successfully sell CBD online using payment processing specifically designed for their exact products.

Why can’t CBD websites process payments with Stripe?

Popular payment processors consider CBD a high-risk product because it’s part of a regulated industry. Unfortunately, many other sectors also fall under the “high-risk” label. It doesn’t mean you can’t sell CBD online – you just have to find alternatives to the big-name payment processors to avoid experiencing a shut-down merchant account or held money. And that’s why Organic Payment Gateways offers high-risk-friendly payment processing – so you won’t have to worry about getting your credit card processing turned off just because you sell CBD.

What else would an entrepreneur need to know before selling CBD online?

It’s important to sit with a qualified attorney before beginning any business involving CBD to ensure your business complies with all applicable regulations. You should make sure your CBD website includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each product.

Keep in mind that we are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice, but once your business is set up, Organic Payment Gateways can help you get set up with high-risk-friendly payment processing so you can accept payments for your CBD products.

We can also help you integrate your payment gateway with your shopping cart, so you can keep using the e-commerce tools that are familiar to you.
