High Risk Merchant Accounts for Vape and eCig Businesses

Why Your Vape and eCig Business Might Be Identified as High Risk

Vaping and eCigarettes are on the rise. Yet, despite their popularity, payment processors often identify these businesses as high risk, because of:

• Uncertain legality and safety of still fairly new products.

• Lack of research on the short- and long-term effects of vapes on health.

• Lack of regulations for the budding industry in most states.

• Additional oversight and underwriting knowledge and procedures for age-restricted products.

Make Sure Your Payment Processor Has Everything You Need

Vape and eCig businesses should make sure their provider brings a couple more tools to the table than standard merchant accounts. As a high risk industry with special needs, look for:

• Fraud and chargeback protection tools.

• Age verification systems.
