Pay Ganja Launches: Crypto Payments for Cannabis With No Banks, No KYC, and No Chargebacks

Ganja.com today announced the launch of Pay Ganja, a hosted cryptocurrency checkout built for the cannabis industry, where card processors and banks routinely refuse service.

Pay Ganja lets any cannabis business accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, and other cryptocurrencies through a simple hosted payment page. Merchants sign up free, are approved instantly, and connect their own wallet. Payments go straight from the customer to the merchant’s wallet; Pay Ganja never holds the money. There is no KYC paperwork, there are no chargebacks, and the service charges a flat 2 percent fee only when a merchant gets paid.

“Cannabis merchants have been locked out of payments the same way they have been locked out of advertising,” said a Ganja.com spokesperson. “Google will not sell them ads and banks will not process their sales. Pay Ganja fixes the payments half of that problem in about five minutes, with no bank account required.”

The checkout supports per-order payment addresses, live exchange rates, QR code payments, and automatic order confirmation, including a WooCommerce integration for stores that want paid orders completed automatically.

Pay Ganja is the payments rail behind the Ganja.com network: the Ganja.com marketplace, the Maps.ganja.com dispensary directory with more than 20,000 verified listings, the Rewards.ganja.com strain and deals platform, and CBD.ganja.com. This newsroom runs on it as well: every press release published on ganja.com/press is paid for through Pay Ganja.

Cannabis businesses can create a free account at pay.ganja.com. Merchants are approved instantly and can take their first payment within 10 minutes setup time.
