Delta 8 THC Merchant Accounts
Delta 8 THC Payment Processing for Online Shopping Platforms
Recently, cannabis companies across North America are beginning to distribute delta-8 THC products. Just as with other cannabis-based products, the sale of delta-8 THC carries with it a high risk to payment processors that has many banks turning away new merchants that apply for credit card processing accounts. Read on to find out why this product poses these risks and what you can do about it if you’re in the cannabis industry.

What Exactly is Delta-8 THC?
Delta-8 THC is one of the four most common cannabinoids. While it’s less common than delta-9 THC, the psychoactive ingredient that most cannabis users know best, more and more is being learned about this cannabis ingredient.
Delta-8 THC is found in small percentages in most strains of the cannabis plant. It doesn’t offer users the same high as delta-9 THC, but does have some psychoactive properties and tends to induce sedation and relaxation in those who use it in higher quantities. Many cannabis researchers have recently stumbled upon medicinal uses for this cannabinoid and as such, cannabis companies have recently been working to extract delta-8 THC from the cannabis plant and manufacture vape juices, capsules, and other delta-8 products.
Why Are THC Merchants Considered High Risk?
Although some forms of cannabis products are legalized federally in the U.S., many states have yet to legalize them and those that have are still required to comply with federal laws in some cases. The topic is a bit tricky to understand and as such, banks and many other traditional payment processors choose to keep themselves uninvolved in the sale and promotion of delta-8 THC and other cannabis products. They simply deem the industry and any merchants involved in it high risk and deny their applications for processing accounts. Additionally, those touting delta-8 THC for its potential health benefits may have a difficult time proving its efficacy and face a higher risk of chargebacks from those who don’t feel the product worked as it should have.
Payment Processing Options for Delta-8 THC Merchants
While there are several options available to THC merchants, the best option is to set up a high-risk merchant account with a provider that specializes in the cannabis industry and high-risk payment processing. Other options, including payment aggregators such as Square and PayPal, don’t generally work with higher risk merchants, particularly those involved in the sale of cannabis or nutraceuticals, simply due to the elevated risk of chargebacks and financial loss.
