Sharfin designed and built our new website to enable us to accept online payments. The new website looks amazing and navigating around it so simple compared to what we had before. Sharfin and his team have always been available when we have required any technical support or assistance.
Vape shop website design with card payments built in
Age checks at checkout and delivery built in, with next working day payouts.
*Approval time depends on how quickly we receive your documents. Free website for trading businesses processing £5k a month or more on card with our in-house payments, with start-ups looked at case by case. Pay monthly from £50 otherwise.
Can vape businesses take card payments online?
Stripe lists e-cigarettes and vape products as a restricted business type, so UK vape shops usually need a specialist provider. Our in-house payments work with vape merchants every day, the setup is handled by experienced people, and you are paid the next working day. eCom Pro builds the website with age checks built in.

Been told vape products are too risky to process?
Vape and nicotine products are on most mainstream restricted lists, so vape shops get declined at sign up or closed once sales start. The answer is a website built with the right checks and payments that works with vape shops every day.
- Website and payments handled together, by one team
- Payments usually live within 24 hours*
- Next working day settlement, including specialist sectors
- Already declined or closed elsewhere? Tell us on the form, it changes nothing about how we build

What your vape website includes
Built as product features your customers use, and the features that keep your account healthy once you are live.
Age verification at checkout
Customers verify their age before they pay, with the result stored against the order.
Age check on delivery
Age restricted delivery flags passed to your courier, so parcels are handed to adults only.
Restricted shipping zones
Ship only where you are allowed to, with the rules set per product.
Product information to UK rules
Nicotine strength, volume and warnings shown the way UK regulations require.
In store and online on one account
Card machine in the shop and website payments settled together, next working day.
Clear refund and contact pages
The policies customers look for, written once and kept up to date.
Free, pay monthly or payments only for your vape business
Free for trading businesses above £5k a month on card with our in-house payments, with start-ups looked at case by case. Pay monthly below it or for a custom build. Already have a site you like? Use our payments on their own.
Payments ready, vetted by our payments specialists
Before launch, the same people who handle your payments setup review your vape website and ask for any changes your business needs. Every business is looked at individually, which is why we never publish a checklist and never build to one. The site and the payments go live together.
One form starts your website build and your payments.
We check the site as it is built, so nothing is left to chance at launch.
Payments handled in house, usually live within 24 hours* of your documents arriving. Paid the next working day.
Done all our website. It now accepts payments and it was very complex. Reachable at all sorts of odd hours, and had a very simple journey with sharfin. Highly recommend them and their expertise.
Sharfin was an absolute pro. Took time to really try to understand our needs and propose solutions which fit our budget and timescales. He made smart suggestions without being pushy but improving the plan so we didn't waste time or resources on things we don't need.
Every vape website we build is checked by people who work with the sector every day, so the pages a payment provider reads are right first time. Payments are handled in house, so there is no separate application to chase.
Vape shop website and payment questions
The questions founders ask before they apply, including the ones about Stripe, PayPal and Shopify Payments.
Can I use Stripe for a vape shop?
Stripe lists e-cigarettes and vape products as a restricted business type, so UK vape shops usually need a specialist provider. Our in-house payments work with vape merchants every day. The setup is handled by experienced people, and you are paid the next working day.
Can I use PayPal for a vape shop?
PayPal restricts tobacco and e-cigarette products, so vape shops usually need a specialist payment provider. Our in-house payments work with vape merchants and eCom Pro builds the website with age verification built in.
Can I use Shopify Payments for a vape store?
Shopify Payments runs on Stripe, so the same restricted business rules apply to vape. Shopify lets you add a third party payment gateway instead. Our in-house payments connect to Shopify, so vape stores can take card payments with next working day settlement.
Which payment provider works with vape shops in the UK?
Vape is a specialist category that mainstream providers restrict. Our in-house payments work with UK vape shops online and in store, with next working day payouts.
My payment provider closed my vape shop account, what now?
Download your transaction and customer records first, then talk to a specialist. Our in-house payments work with this sector, the setup is handled by experienced people, and you are paid the next working day. eCom Pro can move your site across while you keep trading.
Do you build vape shop sites that also sell in store?
Yes. Your website and your in store card machine run on one payments account, so stock, sales and settlement stay in one place.
