How Cardless Scan & Pay Works for Dispensaries
A step-by-step guide to accepting secure bank-to-bank payments for in-store purchases, deliveries, website pre-orders, and phone orders.
The cannabis industry is moving beyond cash-only transactions.
Today's consumers expect convenient payment options wherever they shop.
Cardless Scan & Pay lets customers pay directly from their bank account using their smartphone.
First-time setup takes about 30 seconds.
Here's how it works
The budtender rings up the order using any terminal, POS screen, tablet, or device.
They enter the exact purchase amount.
A QR code appears on the screen.
The customer scans the code, connects their bank account, approves the payment, and has the option to add a tip.
Customers pay the exact amount owed—no rounding and no cash back required.
No card. No cash.
Just a fast, secure payment in seconds.
Independent of ATM Networks
Cardless Scan & Pay follows a different path.
It is not tied to ATM network routing, terminal IDs, or cash access workflows.
For operators, that creates flexibility.
For customers, it creates choice.
No New Equipment Needed
You do not need to install anything complicated.
No terminals.
No hardware.
You can use:
- Your existing POS screen
- Cashless ATM terminal
- An iPad or tablet
- A simple display at checkout
This keeps things clean and cost-effective.

Beyond the Counter: More Ways to Get Paid

You are no longer limited to in-store payments.
You can also offer:
Online Pre-Pay
Customers order from your website, pay in advance, and pick up at their convenience.
Call-in Orders
A customer calls in an order.
Your team sends a secure payment link by text.
The customer pays before pickup or delivery.
Deliveries
Customers can pre pay through your website or call in order.
Once payment is confirmed, the driver is dispatched.
Drivers are safer without cash.
B2B Payments
Pay or get paid by vendors using secure payment links via text. No checks, no delays.

What Stays the Same
Cashless ATM can remain in place.
And we fully support it.

This is important.
You are not replacing your system.

Why This Works
Customers are already trained to do this.
They use their phones to pay every day.
So adoption feels natural.
