CBD Payment Processing That Keeps Clearing
The mainstream gateways decline CBD by policy. SwissPay processes hemp and CBD payments through acquirers that underwrite the category, with the gateway, subscriptions and fraud tools a modern store needs.
CBD payment processing routes card payments for hemp and CBD stores through an acquiring bank that permits the category, unlike Stripe, Square or PayPal, which block it. SwissPay provides a compliant gateway with subscription billing, real-time fraud scoring and chargeback tooling, live in about 48 hours.
Why CBD payment processing gets declined
Most gateways run CBD through the same automated rules as any other signup, then claw the account back when a review catches the category. That leaves your checkout dead and your payouts held, often at your busiest moment.
Reliable CBD processing means a gateway sitting in front of an acquirer that underwrites hemp on purpose, with the fraud and chargeback tooling to keep your ratios healthy so the account stays open.
