Cannabis businesses operate across two primary sales environments that require different gateway configurations. Retail dispensaries and point-of-sale operations need a crypto payment gateway that integrates with in-store payment terminals and the dispensary's point-of-sale software. The customer payment flow at a physical location is different from an online checkout, and the gateway needs to handle the transaction initiation, confirmation, and completion signal within the operational tempo of a retail sales floor. Integration with the dispensary's inventory management and state compliance reporting systems is also a configuration requirement that online-only cannabis businesses do not face in the same form.
Online cannabis delivery services and cannabis e-commerce platforms operate through web checkout environments where the cryptocurrency payment option is presented alongside other available payment methods. The API integration for an online cannabis crypto payment gateway connects to the e-commerce platform's cart and checkout flow, presents the crypto payment option when the customer selects it, and handles the transaction confirmation and order fulfillment signal on the backend. 27 Blockchain configures cannabis crypto payment gateway integrations for both environments and for cannabis businesses that operate both retail and online channels. The configuration is built to the merchant's specific operational setup rather than adapted from a standard template.
