Payments are not just checkout
For cannabis operators, payments and banking touch cash handling, customer experience, reporting, compliance expectations, risk controls, fees, and operational continuity.
Review the full workflow
Operators should understand settlement timing, fee structure, reporting, support, failure handling, account stability, integrations, and the provider’s experience with cannabis-specific constraints.
Plan for resilience
Because banking and payment access can change, operators should document workflows, understand contingencies, and review vendor reliability regularly with qualified advisors.
