TRUSTED BY REGULATED-INDUSTRY BRANDS
THE COMPLIANCE LANDSCAPE
Selling Regulated Products Online Isn't Easy
Selling vape, tobacco, and CBD products means you're dealing with a compliance stack most ecommerce businesses never have to think about.
Limited Payment Processing Options — Most major payment processors restrict or exclude vape, tobacco, and CBD merchants. Finding and integrating a processor that will actually work with your business is its own project.
Excise Tax by Location — Excise tax on regulated products varies by state, county, and sometimes down to the zip code, and it's separate from standard sales tax. Getting this wrong at checkout creates real liability.
Age Verification — You need to verify age and identity, both at the point of sale and, in many cases, again at delivery. A checkout that doesn't handle this correctly is a compliance gap.
Shipping Restrictions — Some states restrict flavors. Some ban categories entirely. Some have no restrictions at all. What's legal to ship to one customer may not be legal to ship to the next.

THE RIGHT PLATFORM FOUNDATION
Why BigCommerce is the Best Ecommerce Platform for Vape, Tobacco, & CBD
BigCommerce doesn't ban categories the way some platforms do. If a product is legal, BigCommerce allows it, without the risk of a sudden policy change shutting your store down overnight.
Payment Flexibility
BigCommerce is payment agnostic, supporting dozens of payment gateways. Since only certain processors will work with vape, tobacco, or CBD merchants, having options matters.
Open Checkout Access
BigCommerce gives developers real access to the checkout, which is what makes it possible to build the compliance tools this industry actually needs, not workarounds bolted on top of a closed system.
No Sudden Category Bans
Your investment in your store isn't at risk from a policy change you didn't see coming. If a product is legal, BigCommerce allows it.
