What acquirers look for
What an acquirer checks before boarding CBD and hemp brands.
Acquirers check that your products are hemp-derived and within the THC limits of each market, that lab results back every product, and that you only sell where CBD is legal.
Certificates of analysis
Third-party lab results (COA) for every product, showing cannabinoid content and THC within legal limits.
Legal sourcing
Hemp sourced and produced in line with the rules of your market.
Market restrictions
Blocking for states and countries where your products cannot be sold.
Compliant claims
No medical claims your regulator does not allow.
Age policy
An age gate where your markets require one.
You must hold the licenses and registrations your markets require. Approval is always the acquirer's decision; we make sure your application reaches the ones whose rules it fits.
How Orchestrapay helps
Get approved, stay live, keep the accounts.
Get boarded
Fill in one KYC application. We pre-match it to the boarding rules of each acquirer in our network of 40+ that boards CBD and hemp brands, taking MATCH status into account, and send it only where it fits.
Never depend on one account
Run on several merchant accounts at once. Smart Routing splits traffic and fails over when one is paused, and your customers' cards stay in a vault you own.
Keep your accounts
Stay under the card schemes' dispute and fraud thresholds with alerts that stop disputes early, deflection that stops them being filed, and 3D Secure where fraud risk is high.
