If you’re running a medical clinic that prescribes medical marijuana cards for patients, you may not realize that you can accept credit and debit card payments for those services. Perhaps you looked into the possibility in the past but concluded that you have no other option but to accept cash-only payments. No if’s, and’s, or but’s. So, you continued as a cash-only business.

However, patients who need relief may not be able to wait for their paycheck or other income sources to arrive. Accepting credit cards is a great way to help them get the help they need when they need it.

Needless to say, medical marijuana prescribing doctors are faced with a difficult landscape when it comes to merchant services. Navigating the stormy waters of credit card processing can be frustrating and time-consuming. Only a short time ago, no merchant processor would accept credit card payments for medical marijuana related businesses. The risks were simply too high. However, the tide is turning. A few brave merchant processors are now dedicated to helping medical marijuana practices bridge the unfair gap between the legislature, banking, and payment compliance environment. Not all of these processors are the same.  Finding dependable payment processors is still difficult, as many medical marijuana practices are challenged in finding a secure, reliable solution with the options they need most.
