i think there are warnings on the website if you try to use a card. but i don't know for sure. i would only go the cash route at this point.

I don’t see any warnings. There’s a pop up telling you to call your bank or CC company if your card is declined. Nothing about potential stolen CC info.

So I guess GPS doesn’t get any karmic retribution for continuing to use a CC processor that’s selling CC info. Got it.

I think GPS is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Since American credit companies can't/won't work with cannabis related vendors, GPS and others are forced to use the few international vendors that will work with cannabis companies.

I made a seed purchase at Seeds Here Now before GPS who also used Payofix. I used the same card with GPS, then my card was compromised. My bank caught it, cancelled the charge and sent me a new card.

The issue needs fixing but the main issue is with Payofix, not GPS. It absolutely mind blowing that a credit card processor is not secure--or is actively selling information.

But what do folks think cannabis companies should do? Discontinue all credit card sales?

That might solve the credit card's being stolen problem, but wouldn't it lead to a lot more scam-artists who take the cash money and run?

I really feel for new users who use credit cards and get screwed. But I am super grateful that Gu~ and GPS is trustworthy enough to work on a cash basis for future business. Btw, there is not a single other company I would feel safe sending cash through the mail. GPS can cash in on my hard earned my trust

Card cards are fine, tons of people who also purchase each day are not affected by these problems.
(Safer) Prepaid cards are accepted, cash and money order too.
I’ll even let you wire your payment with a 10% discount.

So many options.

I'm just curious. If this is true then are dispensaries in legal states using these kinds of vendors for their card processing as well?

Yeah... I haven't seen any that low. Lowest I have seen so far is about $34. Do they really get down into the $25 dollar range? I had an idea the GPS might not appreciate. Let's just make a list of people and what strain they want, and take turns waiting for the auction to get to where we want it. Problem solved everyone is happy and it's teamwork.

Edit: this was more of a joke. I hope no one takes it seriously. I'm stoned already this morning.

I just kinda set up 3 strains for around a 100.00, starting with 1 or 2 of interest in the mix. I would eventually get to about 3 packs of each. from what everyone is posting about GPS, I would be a fool not to invest in these genetics,for when "prohibition" ends in my area.
You never know, next year, these same seeds might be $200.00 or $20.00,

Yes. I think they should discontinue CC. The majority of American seed banks do not use them.

How can you say they’re fine? Not everyone has gotten their CC info stolen, but enough of your customers have that it’s clearly coming from your processor. Some customers have only used their card at your site before it was compromised.

For those skeptical, the ICMag GPS thread has a lot of users that have had their CC info stolen after purchasing from GPS. All the users here got buried by the avalanche that came with the bunk S1’s.

And yes there are so many options, so why not just get rid of the CC option?

no idea.

Like Jayblaze and Lubda say, most dispensaries are cash only, and it is somewhat common to have an atm placed in the lobby

Don't know if credit cards are becoming more common since recreational marijuana became legal in California in Jan.
