Operating a New York marijuana dispensary presents a distinct set of challenges, particularly when it comes to setting up traditional merchant account services for processing debit and credit card payments. Since 2011, The Transaction Group (TTG) has been committed to addressing these obstacles, providing specialized payment solutions specifically designed for the cannabis industry.

In partnership with leading banking institutions, we’ve developed a comprehensive credit card processing system tailored for cannabis dispensaries in states where marijuana is legally permitted. This system enables dispensaries to effortlessly accept debit and credit card payments, along with digital wallet options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Since 2016, we’ve been extending these services to medical dispensaries operating in New York, offering a seamless solution to their payment processing needs.

Our payment solution offers numerous advantages for both customers and dispensary owners. For customers, the convenience and security of not having to carry large amounts of cash or visit an ATM before heading to the dispensary are significant benefits. At the point of sale, they pay a small convenience fee for a secure and efficient transaction that adds a layer of safety to their purchase experience.

For dispensary owners, the benefits are even more pronounced. Our solution eliminates the high fees typically associated with traditional merchant accounts, leading to substantial monthly savings for New York marijuana dispensaries —often amounting to thousands of dollars. Additionally, customers tend to spend more per transaction when using a card, which can considerably boost sales revenue. This also reduces the amount of cash on hand, thereby enhancing overall security for the business.

To make the onboarding process as smooth as possible, we have simplified our approval procedure, ensuring it is both quick and straightforward. With minimal documentation required, nearly any cannabis business can get approved and start accepting debit and credit card payments within a week.

Once the approval is secured, we expedite the shipment of our encrypted payment processing equipment via express mail. Setting up the system is easy and hassle-free. The equipment simply needs to be unpacked, plugedin, and connected to a computer network. There’s no need for complex installations, making it accessible for all business owners.

Our solution offers several key benefits:

• Acceptance of all major credit and debit cards, along with Apple Pay and Google Pay
• Zero processing fees
• No holdbacks or reserves
• Comprehensive online reporting tools
• Fast settlement times, typically within 3-5 days
