Lol I’m not talking about dispensary businesses. I’m talking about online shops selling hardware like glass pipes and stuff. It’s dumb, but it affects many small businesses out there in the USA.
Sadly there is no simple way to install a virtual ATM for payments on an online store
The messed up part is that while you can’t do tobacco product sales using Paypal in the USA, if you’re outside the USA paypal will totally take your business. As I’ve been told directly from Paypal’s representatives - they want our business, but it’s VISA putting down the rules about what merchant services can work with tobacco/firearm/cannabis sales - and there aren’t many in the country (Paypal, Square, etc are not on that list).
The hardware isn’t illegal at any level, so it doesn’t really affect headshops. Every headshop I’ve ever been to anywhere in the country has no issue accepting credit or debit. Just dispensaries that sell cannabis itself; because cannabis is still federally outlawed.
