- FAQ
Vape & e-cig merchant account FAQs
Why is vape considered high risk?
Vape products are age-restricted and subject to changing federal, state and local rules, including flavor restrictions and shipping requirements. Compliance and chargeback risk lead most banks to treat the industry as high risk.
Can I sell vape products online?
Yes, if you comply with applicable laws. For online sales that typically includes age verification, registering and reporting as required under the federal PACT Act, collecting applicable taxes and using compliant delivery methods.
Do you work with brick-and-mortar vape shops?
Yes. We can set up in-store POS systems with fast chip and contactless checkout, along with zero-fee processing options to help reduce your costs.
What do I need to apply?
A completed application, business and tobacco or vape retail licenses where required, owner ID, bank information and recent processing statements if you have them. Online stores should have age verification and clear policies in place.
Can you help if my account was shut down?
Many of our merchants come to us after a sudden account closure. Tell us what happened and we’ll review your situation and options.
