CBD Payment Processing in 2023

If you are planning to build a website for your CBD brand and want to sell CBD products online, you’ll need to find a CBD payment processor that you’ll use for receiving payments from your customers.

CBD Requires one of the High-Risk Payment Processors

Not all processors at the moment are willing to work with CBD brands and sometimes it takes a lot of effort to find the ones that you’ll be able to work with and at the same time the ones that will fir your needs.

Though CBD is a rapidly growing industry, it’s considered high-risk and the FDA is still working on improving the regulatory framework for it. Not all the regulations are totally clear at the moment. So as a result, a lot of payment processors will be reluctant to work with CBD companies.

The only solution here is to go on with one of the high-risk processors who will provide you with a payment gateway.
