Smoke, vape & tobacco

Stable processing for smoke, vape and tobacco businesses

Retail shops, online stores and distributors: one team, one application. We own a smoke shop ourselves. We know what a frozen account, a surprise reserve or a 45-day hold costs you, so we place you with banks that underwrite tobacco, vape and glass explicitly, and we stay your point of contact after you're live.

  • Tobacco & vape approved
  • No surprise holds
  • Dual pricing available
  • NEPA Wholesale's partner

Frequently asked questions

Smoke, Vape & Tobacco FAQs

Talk to an expert
Why did my previous processor freeze or close my account?

Most shutdowns happen because the account was boarded under the wrong business type or the processor's bank doesn't accept tobacco, vape or CBD. We place you with banks that underwrite your products explicitly, so there are no surprises later.

Will I have a rolling reserve?

Not by default. Reserves depend on the bank, your history and your ticket size. We negotiate the lowest reserve possible and tell you up front before you sign anything.

What is dual pricing?

Dual pricing shows a cash price and a card price at checkout so card fees are covered by customers who choose to pay by card. We set it up compliantly on your terminal or POS.

What does being NEPA Wholesale’s vetted partner mean?

NEPA Wholesale reviewed our underwriting, pricing and support before recommending EconoPay to its retail customers. Mention NEPA when you request a quote.

How long does setup take?

Most merchants are approved within 24–48 hours of sending statements, corporate documents and ID. Terminals ship pre-configured and are typically live the day they arrive.

Do you require contracts or charge cancellation fees?

Never. You stay with EconoPay because we deliver value, not because you are locked into a long contract. There are no long-term contracts and no cancellation penalties.

Can I keep my existing POS or terminal?

Usually, yes. We work with most major POS systems and terminals; we'll confirm compatibility during your free quote and only replace equipment if it saves you money.

What kind of support do you provide?

24/7 live support from a dedicated team that knows your account by name, not a call centre.
