Vape & Tobacco Merchant Account

Altix Payments offers secure, compliant payment processing for vape, tobacco, and alternative smoking product businesses. Whether you're running a physical smoke shop, an online storefront, or a hybrid model, we help you accept payments confidently.

Vape and tobacco are flagged as high-risk by most processors due to evolving regulations, age restrictions, and product compliance requirements. We specialize in navigating these hurdles to help you get approved and stay operational.

Our platform supports online age verification tools, shipping controls, and gateway setups that align with federal and state laws, so you can stay ahead of compliance and avoid costly disruptions.

From brick-and-mortar retailers to large-scale e-commerce sellers, we provide reliable processing for disposables, e-liquids, accessories, pipes, cigars, and more, all with dedicated support and risk monitoring.

Our services are a strong fit for:

  • Online vape and e-cigarette retailers
  • Brick-and-mortar tobacco and smoke shops
  • Distributors of vape hardware and disposables
  • Hookah lounges and alternative smoking brands
  • Subscription-based or recurring delivery services

Altix Payments understands the risks and regulations of the industry. We provide a stable processing environment, proactive support, and a long-term strategy to keep your business growing, even in a high-compliance space.
