Merchant agencies usually look at e-cig and vape organizations as very high risk because they are government controlled and fairly new. Because of this, it can be difficult to get a merchant account, or one that's affordable at least. We offer a solution.

Accept all major credit and debit cards, ACH transfers, and gift cards in person, online, or on the phone with a transaction solution tailored to your business. No high processing rates, no hidden fees, and no confusion. We go beyond the basics and provide industry-specific services to vape businesses, including integration with age verification systems.

Accept Credit Cards in Store

We recognize the importance of face-to-face customer service at the vape shop. Nothing takes away from a good shopping experience like a complicated payment process. As you're busy running your business, you need a credit card machine that's reliable, fast, and easy to use. From standalone credit card terminals, like the Verifone VX520, to full-function POS systems, like the Clover Station, we offer a variety of options to meet your business's specific needs.

Backed by advanced security and built to last, our credit card terminals allow you to accept EMV chip, swipe, and NFC payments like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay right at the door. Integration support is included with all of our merchant accounts, so we can help you program your POS to perform customized functions to keep your business running smoothly and free up your valuable time. Track inventory, manage employee timesheets, set up a loyalty program, and more—you tell us your needs, and we get to work.

Mobile eCig and Vape Merchant Profiles

Do you sell at trade shows, at other businesses, or from a pop-up shop? We offer mobile card readers that attach right to your smartphone so you can accept payments anywhere your business takes you. They connect via WiFi or 3G, so your coverage map is maxed out. With a pocket-sized credit card processing machine, accept EMV chip, swipe, and NFC payments quickly and securely—anywhere within a cellular network.

Accept Credit Cards Online

To accept credit card payments online, you need a secure payment gateway for your website. The customer shopping experience should be smooth and easy to navigate. That's why we help you integrate your payment gateway with your shopping cart, accounting software, and other compatible applications.

Some merchants have expanded their business to sell online but need a solution to prevent sales to minors. Website Payment Pro has an online age verification product to help your business prevent underage sales and comply with FDA age regulations. The online age verification software, AgeChecker.Net, integrates with most major eCommerce platforms and API documentation is available for custom developers. You can customize AgeChecker.Net to require the minimum age in each state to comply with different state laws, and your payment gateway will not process the order until the buyer's legal age is confirmed.

With an eCommerce merchant account from Website Payment Pro, take advantage of more value-added tools and resources built into your online payment gateway:

  • Electronic invoicing to automatically email customer statements
  • Next-day funding
  • Advanced Fraud Detection Suite to set custom filters and thresholds to help prevent fraud attempts
  • Accept credit, debit, gift cards, and ACH payments
  • Easy recurring billing options for memberships or payment plans, with convenient account updater tools
  • Chargeback prevention assistance
  • PCI compliance walk-throughs, including free IP vulnerability scanning, plus remediation assistance if needed, through our in-house PCI department
  • FDA compliance assistance

Fraud and chargebacks are a higher risk online compared to a card-present environment, for any business type. That's why we offer personalized resources and assistance in chargeback and fraud prevention. When we have your business protected from every angle, we can reduce your processing costs.

Accept Credit Cards Over the Phone

No payment gateway? No website? No problem. A virtual terminal allows you to accept credit cards over the phone from any web browser, anywhere in the world. All you need to do is log onto the provider's secure server, type the customer's card details into the required fields, and press submit! You don't have to download or store any software on your own server. Address Verification Service (AVS) and Card Verification Value (CVV or CVC) are built in to help you weed out any sketchy payment attempts, and we also offer personalized chargeback prevention support.

A virtual terminal is a smart investment for businesses with established relationships with customers, or those who want to give their customers the ultimate convenience of paying how they want. Accept credit cards and ACH transfers safely and quickly from any internet-enabled device with an e-cig and vape MOTO merchant account.

Reduced Rates for Wholesale Business

Do you supply products to other businesses? If you process a steady volume of corporate credit cards (like business, corporate, or purchasing cards), you qualify for reduced interchange rates the major card brands set for B2B payments. Because these Level 2 and 3 transactions include enhanced data, they are more secure against chargebacks and fraud, warranting the lower rate. We offer the B2B credit card processing software needed to process Level 2 and 3 payments. Save hundreds to thousands per month in interchange fees for wholesale transactions. Learn more.

Industry Background

The vape community has grown tremendously in the past few years. While prototypes and patents of the first e-cigarettes date back to the 1960s, the first successfully commercialized e-cigarette (brand name Ruyan) was launched by Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik in 2003 after his father, a heavy cigarette smoker, reportedly died of lung cancer.

In 2006, e-cigs were introduced to Europe and within a year they hit the US market. Since then, technologies behind the products have become more sophisticated, testing and improvement continually enhance safety standards, and the products have become incredibly popular. According to the CDC, there are approximately 9 million vapers in the US who spent about $3.7 billion on vaping and related products in 2017.

Our Stake in the Action

Website Payment Pro Vice President of Sales Todd Fins is very familiar with the e-cig arena. His investment started with an online vape store. In an effort to make a change after encountering the high transaction fees that came with the combination of eCommerce and a high-risk industry as a business owner, he joined Website Payment Pro and worked to level the playing field for vape entrepreneurs. As a champion for the industry, he helped reverse banks' and legislators' misconceptions about it by co-founding the California Smoke-Free Organization. The non-profit trade group's mission is:

"To keep the vapor markets competitive for small and large players, to ensure the long-term viability of the industry, to overcome legislation that stifles innovation critical to public health, and to change the public debate on e-cigarettes aka vapor products. Also, to influence the language of new bills while in creation forging new partnerships with elected officials in California."
