LOS ANGELES – BLAZE, a leading cannabis software provider, is proud to announce the launch of BLAZEPAY ACH with Scan-to-Pay Technology, a modern, compliant payment solution designed to help dispensaries get paid faster, reduce transaction fees, and improve the overall customer experience — both in-store and online.
Unlike other solutions, BLAZEPAY ACH enables same-day and guaranteed ACH payments, providing retailers with near-instant access to revenue and significantly lower processing costs. Customers benefit from a seamless, secure payment process without needing to create an account. The ability to link a bank with minimal friction leads to higher conversion rates, increased order completion, and stronger customer loyalty.
In-store, customers simply scan a QR code, link their bank account, and complete the payment in a single tap—no app downloads, card swipes, or PIN pads needed. Online, BLAZEPAY ACH is fully integrated with BLAZE ECOM, supporting embedded checkout payments for a consistent and convenient e-commerce experience.
Prepayments using BLAZEPAY ACH have been shown to increase average order value (AOV) by up to 40% and reduce order abandonment by as much as 30%. The solution also includes chargeback protection through clear merchant descriptors and deferred fund capture, helping dispensaries reduce risk and avoid losses when customers add or change items during pickup.
This solution offers dispensaries the flexibility to choose between flat or percentage-based convenience fees, manage returns and resubmissions, and set transaction parameters tailored to their business model. Importantly, BLAZEPAY ACH is backed by a trusted banking partner with a robust, cannabis-compliant program aligned with FinCEN guidelines, ensuring that retailers remain secure and compliant at all times.
“BLAZEPAY ACH eliminates the uncertainty that has long plagued cannabis payments by providing a stable, compliant solution that’s easy for customers to use both online and in-store.” said Chris Violas, CEO. “With a seamless checkout experience and next-day access to funds, retailers can finally move away from risky workarounds and reinvest that capital into growing their business with confidence.”
