Payment solutions for online vape & e-liquid stores

How each solution supports online vape & e-liquid stores

See what each option adds to the way your business takes and tracks payments.

High-Risk Merchant Account

For online vape & e-liquid stores: Present your model for vape products, tobacco and age-restricted orders to specialist processing partners, with product and fulfillment documentation prepared. Roots Payments places online vape and e-liquid stores with acquiring banks and processors that knowingly underwrite e-cigarettes and e-liquids sold remotely, so the account is built to last instead of flagged after the first review. We work with virtually any legal business, subject to underwriting; pricing, limits, and terms depend on the acquirer's review. Reserves may apply, and any reserve is disclosed in your agreement before you sign.
  • Pre-underwriting review of your website, checkout, and documents (PACT Act registration, state licenses, age-verification vendor, and shipping restrictions)
  • Application packaged and submitted only to acquirers with appetite for your category
  • Plain-English walkthrough of pricing, reserve, and termination terms before you sign

For online vape & e-liquid stores: Add age and identity checks to restricted vape products, tobacco and age-restricted orders, with verification recorded in the ordering process.

Recurring Billing

For online vape & e-liquid stores: Schedule and manage payments for permitted trade replenishment and lounge memberships, including renewals and customer account balances.

ACH Payments

For online vape & e-liquid stores: Offer bank-account payments for vape products, tobacco and age-restricted orders, with authorization and invoice matching built into the workflow. Bank payments give online vape and e-liquid stores a lower-cost option for larger tickets and a backup if card processing is reviewed. ACH has its own risk rules, including return-rate limits under Nacha, so it is underwritten separately.
  • ACH underwriting alongside your card account
  • Authorization language and receipt templates
  • Integration into invoices, checkout, or your CRM

Crypto Payments & Conversion

For online vape & e-liquid stores: Plan a digital-asset payment option for vape products, tobacco and age-restricted orders, with conversion and reconciliation mapped to the sale. Crypto gives online vape and e-liquid stores another way to get paid when card options are limited. Customers pay in supported digital assets and you can receive U.S. dollars. Crypto conversion is provided through service partners coordinated by Roots. Roots Payments is not a bank, money transmitter, or crypto exchange.
