Liquor & Smoke Shops
Payment processing for liquor & smoke shops
Reliable processing for age-restricted retail without the headaches.
The Problem
Why most liquor & smoke shops businesses are overpaying
Liquor stores and smoke shops are sometimes flagged by processors as elevated-risk due to their product category. SolvitaPay has direct relationships with banks that understand this business and prices it correctly, without burying the account in unnecessary fees.
Common challenges
Some processors flag age-restricted products as high-risk and charge accordingly
High cash transaction percentage means card processing should be priced to complement, not compete
Tobacco and vaping product categories are treated inconsistently by banks
Shrinkage and cash handling mean accurate reporting is important
