Scan & Pay transactions are processed through the ACH (banking) network, not ATM rails, providing a secure and reliable payment experience.

Customers have two ways to pay:

1. Mobile App: Customer scans the QR code at the counter, download the app (one-time setup), select a bank account, and approve the payment. First-time setup takes about 30 seconds.
2. Web Checkout: Customer scans the QR code at the counter, then the Budtender selects Web Checkout. The customer approves the payment—no app download required.

Receipt: Both options send the customer a receipt by text.

Flexible Payment Options: Scan & Pay works alongside Cashless ATM terminals. Many dispensaries offer both solutions, giving customers more ways to pay while creating a more dependable payment strategy.

• Accept payments in-store, drive-thru, delivery, online pre-orders, call-in orders (Text-to-Pay) and B2B Invoicing
• Customers can pay through the app or website checkout; enrollment takes about 15-30 seconds. 
• Works alongside your Cashless ATM and ATM machine
• No monthly fees
• Earn revenue on every transaction
• Built-in protection against returns and chargebacks
• Real-time payment updates
• Secure, compliant bank-to-bank transactions

• The customer has two ways to pay: Download the app (one-time 15-30 second setup for faster future purchases), or Use Web Checkout if they prefer not to download the app. 
• The budtender rings up the purchase using your existing POS system, cashless ATM terminal, tablet, or checkout device and enters the exact purchase amount —no rounding and no cash back required. 
• The customer scans the payment QR code, securely connects their bank account (first-time users only), and approves the payment. 
• Payment is approved within seconds. The customer receives a receipt via text.

No card. No cash. Just a fast, secure checkout.

No startup costs. No monthly fees. No additional terminals required. 

The system can work with any digital device. i.e.: Cashless ATM terminal, POS terminal, iPad, or other device.

Settlement Timing

• Transactions submitted before 6:00 PM ET deposit the next business day
  
• Transactions submitted after 6:00 PM ET deposit within two business days

Scan & Pay lets delivery customers securely pay directly from their bank account, reducing the need to carry or collect cash.

Payments can be completed before dispatch or at the door, helping dispensaries reduce cash handling, improve security, and streamline delivery operations.

3 Ways Customers Can Pay

1. Online Prepaid Orders

Customers place their order online and pay before delivery. Once payment is approved, the order is prepared and the driver is dispatched.

2. Call-In Orders

Customers place their order by phone. The Budtender totals the sale and sends a secure payment link by text. Once payment is approved, the driver is dispatched.

3. Pay at the Door (QR Code)

If your dispensary allows payment upon delivery, the driver enters the purchase amount on a phone or tablet, generating a secure QR code. The customer scans the code with their smartphone, approves the payment from their bank account, and the driver receives instant payment confirmation before completing the delivery.

Can All Delivery Orders Be Prepaid?

Yes. Many dispensaries require payment before dispatch. Prepaid orders reduce cash handling, minimize failed payments, improve driver safety, speed up deliveries, and eliminate payment delays at the customer's door.

Yes. We offer Cashless ATM services too. You have the option to select Cashless, Scan & Pay or both! 

You'll receive the same buy rate and revenue share on both Cashless ATM or Cardless Scan QR solution.

Scan & Pay has become a widely adopted digital payment option for cannabis retailers.

No. There are no out-of-network ATM fees. Customers simply pay directly through their bank account. 

This improves the checkout experience and allows dispensaries to reduce reliance on ATM machines that require servicing, maintenance, and regular cash replenishment. Scan & Pay operates should a store incur Cashless ATM disruptions.
