8 Reasons why CBD Payments Resellers Should Choose Merrco

When selecting a payment processing partner, there are several things to consider, such as buy rates, revenue share opportunity, underwriting efficiency, mark-up ability; monthly minimums, set-up fees and more. This is why you must choose a payment processing partner compatible with your business model and profitability projections.

With the number of payment processors on the market, you need to know the specific features and benefits of the payment processing provider you choose for you and your clients.

Here are the top eight reasons why resellers should choose Merrco, a leading CBD payment solution provider, as their payment processing partner.

1. Experience In the Industry

Cannabis businesses are in the high-risk industry and need to work with a payment processor that can handle their transactions. Merrco has been specialized in high-risk enterprises since 2016. We work with several companies in the cannabis and CBD industry, like dispensaries, CBD merchants, nutraceutical merchants licensed producers, and more.

Merrco is the leading payment provider for the cannabis industry in Canada as well. So, we can offer your CBD industry clients the best, most secure, transparent and compliant payment solutions.

2. Competitive Rates

Your clients are already spending funds on things like paying employees, inventory and utilities. The last thing they want to worry about is a payment processor that charges exorbitant fees.

As a reseller, you will need to research prospective payment processing partners’ buy rates, processing statements and monthly minimums. This ensures that you select one with the best rates for your clients.

Merrco offers competitive rates because we understand your clients and their business needs.
