Recharge does not prohibit merchants from selling specific products, such as products containing cannabidiol (CBD).

Each payment processor maintains its own rules and regulations as to which businesses it can support and what is categorized as high-risk. For example, Stripe has strict guidelines around the sale of cannabis and related businesses. Recharge recommends reaching out directly to your payment processor of interest to confirm if your business is supported.

Merchants using the Recharge Checkout on Shopify or BigCommerce, inquire with:

• Authorize.net
• Braintree
• Stripe

Merchants using Shopify Checkout Integration, inquire with:

• Shopify Payments
• Authorize.net
• Stripe (only available to some merchants)

Twilio also restricts the sale of products containing cannabidiol or hemp. This restriction also prohibits merchants who reference these products from using SMS. See the following Twilio resources for additional information:
