Vape & Tobacco Payment Processing

Tobacco and vape sellers face PACT Act rules online and tight card-brand scrutiny. Many mainstream processors bar internet, mail, and phone sales of age-restricted products like tobacco, so online sellers need a dedicated account. Roots serves virtually any legal business, subject to underwriting.
