Why tobacco retailers struggle to get fiat processing
A cigar retailer selling premium inventory to established customers is about as ordinary as retail gets, and is still classified alongside every other high-brand-risk tobacco merchant. Remote sale of tobacco carries age verification and shipping rules that most traditional payment processors decline to take on.
Tobacco retailers need a payment processor set up for age-restricted goods. Novupay works with online cigar and tobacco retailers deliberately and provides seamless card payment processing for their customers.
