Payment processing that understands your shop
Running a smoke shop or vape shop comes with challenges. And your payment processor should understand them. Many processors classify smoke shops as high-risk or simply decline to work with them. Others approve the account and charge inflated rates because they can.
Elite Merchant Services works with smoke shops, vape shops and tobacco retailers across the country. We offer competitive rates without the high-risk markup. And our POS systems include age verification, inventory tracking and employee management features that actually fit how your shop operates.
What you get: 0% processing through our cash discount program or competitive traditional rates that compete with other processors. Free POS with age verification and inventory management built in. Next-day funding. Real support from a team that knows your industry. Not a call center reading a script.
