Glassware Merchant Accounts

The market for glassware smoking devices, hookahs, glass bongs, pipes and similar paraphernalia items is growing quickly. This growth is due in part to the rising acceptance of marijuana use and the rapid growth of its medical applications and legalization in various locations across the United States and Canada. It is also due to the fact that many people in the United States are starting to adopt smoking traditions and habits from eastern cultures.

The rise in popularity of smoking hookahs and cannabis related items is bringing new enthusiasm to the glassware industry, and many retail and online headshops are making the most of this trend.

Unfortunately, banking institutions are a bit slow to keep up. Being conservative in nature, credit card processing service providers are reluctant to extend their services to these types of businesses. They see glassware businesses as being especially risky. On one hand, they do have a point. Any business dealing in paraphernalia, even remotely associated with marijuana use, runs the risk of falling prey to changing laws and can be suspected of crossing legal lines, even if they are not. Add to this the stigma that is placed on the type of customers that buy these products and the picture become scarier to banks.

Leap Payments understands this. We work with “high risk” merchants of all kinds and specialize in providing precisely the kinds of merchant services that the other credit processing companies are reluctant to.

Boost Business with a Glassware Merchant Account

The need and desire for marijuana and related glassware products (Like bongs, pipes, bubblers, etc.) have shot through the roof with all the recent changes in laws and regulations in many states. The glassware and bong business is currently booming as tons of individuals are trying to get started in the industry. Having the ability to accept credit and debit card transactions is a great way to provide a convenient service to your clientele. This will cut back on the amount of customers you have to turn away which ultimately loses you the sale. Leap Payments gives you all the tools for success to increase revenue and boost your businesses growth with an industry leading glassware merchant account.

Beat the Odds by Obtaining your Bong Merchant Account

The unfortunate reality of being in the business of selling paraphernalia related to the use of marijuana is the unfair stigma of being a part of a fringe, niche market. When people working in the financial sector see that you’re selling things like;

… they tend to get a bit uneasy. It does not matter that you may be operating well within legal parameters, they will consider you to be a high-risk enterprise.

Of course, merchant service providers are not entirely to blame. Part of the problem stems from the fact that merchant account providers must process through a bank. When looking to get your account approved, it is the payments provider’s partnering bank that gives the final approval. Most payment processors only deal with one, typically non-high risk, tradition bank. So finding a merchant service provider with the proper banking partnership channels for your industry type are imperative to your credit card processing success.

Unfortunately, that means any businesses considered to be high risk has to sit at the back of the bus. While this is unfair, it is inevitable.
