Built for Hemp Shop + Smoke Shop
Built for hemp retail, from the payment rails up.
Most POS systems are built for vanilla retail. When your shop sells hemp, CBD, or tobacco accessories, the platforms that work fine for a clothing boutique will freeze your account, block your ads, and bounce your texts. Square charges a 3.8% surcharge on CBD sales online and locks your equipment if they terminate you. Meta requires LegitScript certification and prior written authorization before you can run a single CBD ad. Carrier networks block hemp SMS campaigns outright and fine senders per message. Throughput was designed from day one for exactly this situation: hemp-safe card routing, a compliant communication stack, and a website on infrastructure that will never drop you for what you sell.
What you're up against
- Payment processors freeze or surcharge CBD accounts without warning, often mid-business-day.
- Meta and Google block or severely restrict hemp and CBD advertising.
- SMS carriers reject hemp messaging campaigns and levy per-message fines for violations.
- Missed calls during busy hours send customers straight to the competitor next door.
- High-risk processor fees and rolling reserves drain cash flow for months after approval.
