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 a processor that works with vape shops every day.
Built as product features your customers use, and the features that keep your account healthy once you are live.
Customers verify their age before they pay, with the result stored against the order.
Age restricted delivery flags passed to your courier, so parcels are handed to adults only.
Ship only where you are allowed to, with the rules set per product.
Nicotine strength, volume and warnings shown the way UK regulations require.
Card machine in the shop and website payments settled together, next working day.
The policies customers look for, written once and kept up to date.
Free for trading businesses above £5k a month in card revenue through eCom Pay, 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.
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 application go through together.
One form starts both your website build and your eCom Pay application.
Our payments team reviews the site as it is built, so nothing is left to chance at launch.
Approved and taking payments in 24 hours* once your documents are in. Next working day settlement, no rolling reserve.
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.
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 reviewed by the eCom Pay team before anything is submitted, so the pages a payment provider reads are right first time. That is why approval takes 24 hours once your documents are in, not weeks.
The questions founders ask before they apply, including the ones about Stripe, PayPal and Shopify Payments.
Stripe lists e-cigarettes and vape products as a restricted business type, so UK vape shops usually need a specialist provider. eCom Pay works with vape merchants every day. The setup is handled by experienced people, and approved accounts get next working day settlement with no rolling reserve.
PayPal restricts tobacco and e-cigarette products, so vape shops usually need a specialist card processor. eCom Pay works with vape merchants and eCom Pro builds the website with age verification built in.
Shopify Payments runs on Stripe, so the same restricted business rules apply to vape. Shopify lets you add a third party payment gateway instead. eCom Pay connects to Shopify, so vape stores can take card payments with next working day settlement.
Vape is a specialist category that mainstream processors restrict. eCom Pay works with UK vape shops online and in store, with next working day settlement and no rolling reserve once approved.
Download your transaction and customer records first, then talk to a specialist. eCom Pay works with this sector, the setup is handled by experienced people, and approved accounts get next working day settlement with no rolling reserve. eCom Pro can move your site across while you keep trading.
Yes. Your website and your in store card machine run on one eCom Pay account, so stock, sales and settlement stay in one place.
