The NRS POS System and NRS Pay Credit Card Processing for CBD Retailers

Sales of CBD products at tobacco stores and smoke/vape shops have increased at a substantial rate over the past few years, with projections that sales will continue to climb. CBD products are already being popularly sold, and in an industry that is broad and statistically known for its customer loyalty, the potential for growth is exponential.

Yet there are challenges to selling CBD products: a significant amount of credit card processing companies refuse to transact CBD purchases or charge extremely high fees for processing for these retailers, forcing many of these businesses to accept only cash. However, there is good news for CBD retailers. National Retail Solutions (NRS), the leading provider of POS systems and NRS Pay credit card processing for independently owned businesses nationwide, is committed to providing a complete checkout solution for CBD retailers. The NRS point of sale (POS) system has already gained traction as a #1 POS for smoke and vape shops, and NRS Pay recently announced that it is offering credit card processing for the CBD retail sector.
