CBD Merchant Account

Why CBD Merchants need to apply for a Merchant Account

1

CBD is High-Risk

CBD is one of the industries classified as “high-risk” in payment processing due to a variety of factors. For example, CBD was not legal until 2018 and is extremely regulated due to its similarity to THC. Also, you need a high-risk payment processor for your merchant account because high volume sales and e-commerce only increase the risk.

2

CBD Market is Growing

Recent studies have found that CBD has grown from a 686 million dollar market in 2016, to a 2.8 billion dollar industry in 2020 and it is projected to grow 21% per year through 2028. Do not Wait! Now is the best time to get approved for a Merchant Account.

High number of Chargebacks

CBD Merchants have a history of high chargebacks making them a “high-risk” online business. With round the clock chargeback alerts, CBD merchants can see and review chargebacks as soon as they are initiated. Click here to learn more about chargebacks.
