How to avoid Stripe, Viva or PayPal blockages if you sell CBD, grow-shop or “high-risk” products”
Managing online payments should be easy. But if you have an e-commerce of CBD, seeds, grow-shop, vapes, supplements or any sector categorized as high-risk, you know it is not.
Funding freezes, sudden account closures, mass rejections and volume limitations are the bread and butter of the day.
The reality is clear: traditional payment methods are not designed to accept “high-risk”.”, even if your business is totally legal.
This is where GreenexPay.
The real problem faced by high-risk e-commerce companies
Over the past few years, standard providers such as Stripe, PayPal, Viva or Square have tightened their policies. Although they do not communicate it directly, their systems of risk scoring automatically detect and classify many products as “high risk”.
This causes thousands of businesses to face situations such as:
-
❌ Immediate closure of the online POS
-
❌ Holding of funds for 30-180 days
-
❌ Limitation of monthly allowable volume
-
❌ Massive rejection of legitimate transactions
-
❌ Random blocking just for selling CBD, seeds or resins
And the worst: usually happens when you are selling at your best - during campaigns, traffic peaks or launches.
The solution: traditional payment methods... without being blocked...
GreenexPay is a filtering and compliance system that acts between your store and the payment providers.
Thanks to its technology, banks and processors see your transactions as fully compliant and low-risk transactions.
In other words:
You can use Stripe, Viva or traditional processors without being blocked, locked out or limited.
How does GreenexPay work (explained in a non-technical way)?
When a customer buys from your store, GreenexPay:
-
Filtering and sorting the type of product.
-
Meets the guidelines of traditional processors, avoiding words, references or metadata that generate alerts.
-
Send the operation “clean” and compliant to the payment provider.
-
Keeps your traditional methods active, no high-risk alerts or threats of closure.
Your business remains the same, your gateway remains the same... the only thing that changes is that blockages disappear.
Who uses GreenexPay?
The system is optimized for e-commerce in sectors such as:
-
CBD and derivatives
-
Grow shops
-
Seeds and horticulture
-
Vapers, oils, shishas

If your business fits into one of these, you probably already know how difficult it is to have a stable gateway.

Why traditional suppliers are blocking high-risk e-commerce
It is not personal.
The vast majority of processors work with automatic risk models. Words such as:
-
“CBD”
-
“Cannabis”
-
“Vape”
-
“Excerpt.”
-
“Seeds”
activate internal filters without any human review.
When this occurs, the supplier prefers:
❗ block you first
❗ ask for explanations later
❗ and, hopefully, pay you back someday.
For many businesses, this interruption is already lethal.
GreenexPay prevents this from happening.
The importance of compliance in high-risk businesses
Even if your store is completely legal, if the data sent to the processor does not match your internal policies, the system marks you as a risk.
GreenexPay takes care of:
-
Neutralize metadata
-
Adjust descriptions
-
Normalize categories
-
Avoiding forbidden words
-
Classify transactions according to traditional standards
Thus, the provider has no reason to block you.
