Ok, I'm about to go crazy! I live in UK where selling/buying cannabis seeds are fully legal by law. But it seems impossible to find a payment processor/payment gateway

Can anyone help me with any suggestions please?

I KNOW it must be possible to get creditcard processing on a site like this, because there are many existing ones that offer CC processing on their seed sites.

Does anyone have any ideas!?

It's on Shopify atm but can be moved to something else if necessary?
 
Shopify will shut you down , they dont like cannabis sales .
you need to move over to Woommerce ,
 
You need a high-risk payment processor. I can't share links but search this on Google and you will find your solutions. The problem with this is that there is a larger cut (some are crazy and others are not so much). Some processors consider you high risk and others do not. CCBill is the one that is favored but all of them have a length sign-up process (unless you have all of the relevant documentation on hand).

I've been through 3 months of hell with Paypal and payment processing so I have managed to gain some knowledge in this area of high-risk payments.

I don't think this is true, along as its legal you can sell it on shopify? or do you have experience with getting banned?

It's up to Shopify what you can or can't sell on their platform, regardless of the legalities in your country.

Ηave you asked your bank?
 
Honest truth is you need to reverse engineer the transaction.

That means ordering the product from a competitor and going to the bank for a transaction history

there's a certain way to do it, if i can remember correctly its how the anti-spam organisations went after the pharma spam affiliate programs, by tracking down and shutting down their merchant accounts use of visa and MasterCard. I think I read it in krebs book spam nation but haven't got the time to check the exact methodology

Great suggestion. I've just brought the book, will post here if I find the method, Cheers! Can almost do this by going through checkouts on existing sites and seeing what gateway they use.

that shut down my site last month ,but you believe what you want bud , obviously dont need help .
Square space closed my site shopify closed me site , but woo are fine and I managed to find a card processor as well , but hey good luck bud
 
No card processer will give a good price , cleahause will charge £500 a month in fees and you can only sell to Europe.

no one will touch you untill you have history , its a catch 22.

hey bud didn't mean any disrespect, I just read this thread and a shopify admin says its okay https://community.shopify.com/c/Payments-Shipping-Fulfillment/Cannabis-Seeds-Payment-Processing-Shopify/td-p/352596

So now I know you had first hand experience, thanks for your input! That must have been shit getting 2 sites shutdown!

Thanks for your suggestion
 
I got a guy at a bitcoin exchange that has an addon that allows your customers to pay with debit card and you receive the payment in Bitcoin
 
yeah Shopify told me I was fine too , but then 3 months after launch , they shut me down , as they didnt agree with my products
