The Problem

Your Processor is Leaving the Industry. You Have Until November 5th to Pivot.

If you recently woke up to a notice from Square stating that your hemp or CBD merchant account is being shut down by November 5, 2026, you are not alone.

In response to upcoming shifts in federal hemp regulations, Square has decided to abruptly exit the CBD space entirely. This sweeping decision leaves thousands of legitimate, hard-working business owners with less than 90 days to rebuild the vital plumbing their revenue runs through.

Whether you received the notice to strip your catalog of hemp products by October 15th, or the letter stating your entire account will be terminated on November 5th, the anxiety of losing your ability to accept credit cards is incredibly stressful. Direct-to-consumer e-commerce brands and local dispensaries alike are facing an immediate threat to their survival. You don’t just need a quick fix, you need a processor that won’t pull the rug out from under you the next time regulations shift.

Key Benefits

High-Risk Processing That Finally Feels Like Standard Business.

Specialized High-Risk Approvals

We don’t just “tolerate” CBD—we specialize in it. We expertly navigate the underwriting process for all compliant hemp products (including traditional CBD, Delta-8, Delta-9, and HHC) so your account stays active and compliant with evolving federal guidelines.

Fair & Honest Pricing Structures

Stop paying bloated “industry premiums.” We believe CBD merchants deserve transparency, which is why we use an interchange-plus pricing model. You get a clear breakdown of every fee so you keep more of your hard-earned revenue.

Omni-Channel Flexibility

Whether you sell at a local boutique or through a digital storefront, your sales data stays unified. Seamlessly transition to our premium Payanywhere smart terminals (EMV/NFC ready) and plug into our native API integrations for major e-commerce shopping carts.

Bulletproof Compliance & Security

Protect your business from data breaches and regulatory scrutiny. Our PCI-DSS compliant systems utilize point-to-point encryption (P2PE) and advanced tokenization to secure every single transaction.

Onboarding

A Migration Plan That’s Fast, Simple, and Secure.

We make transitioning from Square completely painless so you can focus on running your business. Once you submit your request through our form, our dedicated CBD specialists will immediately take the wheel to ensure you experience zero downtime.

Discovery & Strategy
