    Customers simply scan a QR code with their phone and complete the payment from their bank account.

  • How it works

    When your business activates our cardless solution, we provide a unique QR code for each store location.


    Customers simply scan the QR code with their phone to complete a secure cardless transaction directly from their bank account. It works similarly to Apple Pay, Venmo, or Cash App, but is fully cannabis-compliant.


    You can place QR codes anywhere payments are accepted. Dispensaries can have multiple QR codes within the same store, including:

    • Each checkout at counters
    • Pre-pay on your website
    • Pay-by-text for phone orders
    • Drive-thru
    • Curbside
  • Can Cardless work alongside Cashless ATM?


    Yes. Dispensaries can use cardless (Scan QR) alongside their Cashless ATM solutions.  


    The hybrid approach guarantees you'll always be operational. Offering multiple payment options ensures customers can always complete their purchase, even if a particular payment method experiences temporary disruptions.


  • What are the costs for the Cardless (Scan QR) solution?

    There are no startup costs and no terminals required. The system can work with any digital device. i.e.: Cashless ATM termina, POS terminal, iPad, or other device.


    A CBS representaive will discuss the customer surcharge fee, your buy rate and the revenue share on every transaction.

  • Why are dispensaries adding Cardless (Scan & Go)?

    Cardless (Pay-by-Bank / Scan & Go) has become a widely adopted digital payment option for cannabis retailers.


    Today, many dispensaries run a hybrid model—combining Cashless ATM + Cardless—to give customers two ways to pay.

    • Use Cardless alongside Cashless ATM
    • Serve as a reliable backup when needed
    • Provide a faster, more modern checkout experience

    With Cardless, transactions are not on ATM rails, helping reduce the risk of disruptions.


    More ways to pay. No checkout interruptions.
