Our team specializes in CBD and hemp merchants, which sets us apart from traditional providers that avoid the category. You will work with a dedicated account manager who understands CBD compliance and helps you choose the payment solutions that fit your online shop or retail store.

We integrate CBD credit card processing with the ecommerce platform, CRM and subscription tools you already use - no technical skills required. Once you apply, you will complete a short application covering your products, lab testing and processing volume. After underwriting reviews your information, our CBD payment processing team finishes setting up your CBD merchant account.

Why Choose Karma Card Payments

Built for the realities of the CBD industry

There are many compelling reasons to choose Karma Card Payments for processing credit card transactions for your CBD business. Here are the key benefits our CBD payment solutions offer.

CBD Payment Gateway

Our CBD payment gateways are designed to help hemp and CBD brands grow profitably. We give you secure, flexible payment options tailored to CBD - from recurring subscription billing for repeat customers to support for oils, edibles, topicals and pet products across your catalog.

Chargeback Protection

Chargebacks are a serious concern for CBD sellers, where subscription and product disputes are common. Beyond lost revenue, excessive chargebacks can trigger penalties and account loss. We use advanced prevention tools to protect your CBD merchant account and help you contest "friendly fraud."

Fraud Prevention Tools

Fraud prevention is built into every CBD transaction we process. Our solutions flag stolen-card and suspicious orders before they ship - essential protection given the high-risk, restricted nature of the CBD and hemp space.

FAQ

CBD payment processing - frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions CBD brands ask us most about accepting payments, fees and getting approved.

How can I accept payments for my CBD business?

We provide omnichannel CBD payment processing so you can take cards wherever your customers are:

Online: We offer secure CBD payment gateways for online credit card sales, with recurring billing for repeat customers.

In person: We provide POS systems and card readers for CBD and wellness retail counters of every size.

Over the phone: Our virtual terminals make it easy to take CBD orders and reorders over the phone.

What are the credit card processing fees for CBD businesses?

CBD processing fees typically range from 2.5% to 4.5%. Because CBD and hemp are classified as high-risk, rates run above standard retail.

We focus on affordable CBD payment processing, placing your account with CBD-friendly banks and adding prevention tools to keep your effective cost and your merchant account stable.

What do I need to apply for a CBD merchant account?

To speed up approval of your CBD merchant account, gather the following before you apply:

  • Government-issued photo ID
  • Signed merchant application
  • Voided check or bank letter
  • Three months of recent bank statements
  • Three months of prior processing statements (if available)
  • Details about your CBD business and the products or services you sell

Your website should use an SSL certificate and HTTPS and include your legal business name, contact details, a Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, a Refund and Return Policy, and clear pricing so underwriting can approve your account quickly.

Why are CBD businesses considered high-risk?

Banks classify CBD and hemp sellers as high-risk because of evolving regulation, product and label claims, reputational caution and elevated chargebacks. A specialized CBD processor matters - we underwrite CBD merchants every day and build in the compliance and protections that keep your account open.

How long does CBD merchant account approval take?

Most CBD merchant accounts are approved within 24-48 hours once we have your completed application and supporting documents. Because underwriting for high-risk accounts is more detailed, having clean statements and a compliant website ready is the fastest path to approval.
