Description

Most CBD brands don’t lose sales because of bad marketing, they lose them because their payment processor shuts them down without warning. In this episode, Frank exposes the hidden traps that quietly cripple CBD merchants, and reveals the exact steps that keep your business protected. If you’re selling CBD online, this is the playbook that separates brands that scale from brands that get stopped in their tracks.

In this episode, these questions and topics will be covered:

  • 01:19 - Why platforms like Stripe, PayPal, and Square seem CBD-friendly at first and the exact moment their risk teams pull the plug, freezing your revenue overnight
  • 03:00 - The number one document every CBD product page must have to avoid termination
  • 04:34   - Risky phrases that put merchants on the radar for long-term account instability
  • 06:19 - What underwriters really look for before they approve you 
  • 08:22 - The non-negotiable paperwork stack every CBD merchant needs
  • 10:27 - The hidden traps that collapse your ability to process payments
