Be aware, You may be.......possibly are at Risk.

Many, if not Most Processing companies have Excessively strict Online tobacco Sales Policies. Most will Not Process tobacco Relates Sales.
FDA - DEEMING:
vaping is now under Tobacco Tobacco Control and ALL Vapor products are Classified as such.

The First Volley has been fired:
Posted elsewhere... but it appears CC processors are now closing services
to online vaping sites:

Folks you had better get orders in fast from the looks of this !!

Hello friends.....I hope all is well. Things are not so well for MyVapeJuice.....my
credit card processor has just terminated my contract today...nice warning
hey...and without credit card processing I am done. So I am fighting but today
may be MyVapeJuices last day. They did this because now I am considered a
Tobacco manufacturer per the FDA and MC and VISA have strick rules about not
allowing tobacco sales online ever. So the battle begins and so far they have the
upper hand....but they have not won the war

Check, Confirm your User Agreements. Search out Alternative Processing. Don't get caught behind and get locked out of doing daily business.

Your Customer Base depends on your responsible action. Your livelihood depends on on your aggressive action to stay open.

One of hopefully many avenues:

Best Merchant Accounts for Online Tobacco Stores

Good Luck to us all.

    This a Fair warning message:

    We have already had Vendors in the Past with - Tobacco Sales processing issues.

    The FDA Has opened a Gateway for Big Lobby Groups to attack processing.CC companies to Comply with current Tobacco Sales regulations.

    Better to Confirm safe than to Wait and See :glare:

    I was a retail business owner for years and have seen what Problems even Minor Agreement updates or Category changes can cause.:ohmy:

    I survived the Multi Billion Dollar change in the Refrigerant industry by staying on top of Regulatory changes and their far reaching effects.
