The cannabis industry has experienced significant growth in recent years. But with that growth come new challenges. The lack of reliable payment processing solutions that are secure and safe is one of the most pressing issues facing the cannabis industry.

Q: Please tell us what the current state is of cannabis payment processing.
It is very difficult to pay cannabis payments right now. The legal and regulatory risks that cannabis businesses face mean that most traditional payment processors don’t want to work with them. Because of the risks associated with cannabis, many businesses must rely solely on cash transactions. This is unsafe for both merchants as well as customers.

Q: What’s Weedmart.io doing in order to solve these challenges?
We’re seeing one of the largest trends is the shift to contactless and digital payment. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, more people are switching to contactless payments. We expect this trend, even after the epidemic is over, to continue. Merchants are also adopting digital wallets, and other payment methods to meet changing customer preferences.
Q: What is the future of cannabis payment processing?
The future of cannabis payments processing will be shaped, we believe, by advances in technology and changing consumer preferences. We expect more innovation in the digital payment area, thanks to the adoption and use of blockchain technology. We also anticipate more collaboration between payment processors and banks to provide better service to the cannabis sector.
Q: What challenges are facing the industry? How can they be overcome?

These problems can be overcome by working closely alongside regulators and financial institution to develop solutions that suit the needs of the sector. It’s crucial to educate the general public about the many benefits of cannabis and work towards changing people’s perceptions.
