CBD, Vape, and Smoke Shops

If you operate a CBD, vape, hemp, or smoke shop, you already know the challenges of finding a reliable, affordable, and long-term payment processing solution. We make it easy for businesses like yours to get approved and start accepting payments — fast, reliably, and without the usual headaches.

Not Every Processor Understands Your Business — But We Do

Why Payment Processing Can Be Difficult for Smoke & Vape Shops

If you’ve ever had a payment processor freeze your account, reject your application, or shut you down without warning, you’re not alone. Smoke, vape, and CBD retailers often face unique hurdles when it comes to getting approved for payment processing — even if they run fully legal, compliant businesses.

Many banks and processors hesitate to work with shops in this space due to added layers of scrutiny, shifting regulations, and outdated risk models that don’t reflect how modern retailers operate. As a result, legitimate businesses are left with limited options, unreliable providers, or inflated rates.

What sets us apart

We partner with a large and diverse network of underwriting banks — not just one or two. That means we can find a tailored solution for CBD, vape, and smoke shop businesses that may get declined by mainstream providers. We understand your business model and have the tools to help you get approved and start accepting payments in-store, online, and on the go.

Our CBD & Vape Payment Solutions Include:

  • Retail Credit Card Processing (in-store POS, countertop terminals)
  • eCommerce Payment Gateways (for online sales)
  • Mobile Processing (sell anywhere via mobile)
  • Chargeback Management Tools
  • Fraud Prevention Systems

We Know This Industry — And We Know How to Help

We’ve already helped dozens of vape and CBD stores nationwide get approved, set up, and accepting payments quickly. Our team works closely with a wide network of banking partners who understand your business model — whether you’re selling in-store, online, or both.

We don’t just check boxes. We take the time to learn how your shop operates so we can match you with the right solution from the start — no guesswork, no dead ends.

We thought our Bank would have the best rates, but nothing could be further from the truth. Vecter came in and streamlined the way we process card transactions and the Savings was significant.

After suffering for years with credit card ‘salesman’, it was refreshing to find Vecter. Vecter’s staff are professionals that know their business and go out of their way to help me with mine. I would (and have) recommend Vecter to my friends and family.

Aside from their low rates, Vecter’s customer service has been paramount. They legitimately make me feel like I’m their only client.

We have been using Vecter Technology since I opened my studio 10 years ago. In that time their team has continuously taken care of me and my staff. They keep us up to date on technology, equipment, and internet transactions all while knowing we have the most competitive rates out there. It is nice being able to confidently ignore every other company trying to sell me on their credit card systems by saying ‘my guy has it covered’. I can’t imagine running my business without taking credit cards and I can’t imagine taking credit cards without Vecter Technology!

I have been approached by countless credit cards processors wanting our business, but when I tell them we are with Vecter, they Instantly back off. Even their competitors know how good they are at what they do!!!!!
