Is there a WooCommerce plugin for CBD payment processing?

Yes. Holistic Payments' WooCommerce plugin supports CBD, hemp, and peptide verticals. Native integration with WooCommerce checkout, 90% authorization rate, ACH + card support, one-click reorder via saved bank data.

Do I pay Shopify-style third-party fees on WooCommerce?

No. WooCommerce is self-hosted and doesn't charge per-transaction platform fees. You pay only our headline processing rate. This is why most high-volume CBD brands prefer WooCommerce over Shopify.

CBD Payment Processing on WooCommerce

Native WooCommerce plugin for hemp and CBD e-commerce. Credit card + ACH checkout, 90% authorization rate, one-click reorder via saved bank data.

By Blake Toves, Founder at Holistic Payments · Published April 17, 2026

Holistic Payments ships a native WooCommerce plugin supporting CBD, hemp, and peptide merchants. Standard WordPress install, configured with API keys from your merchant account. 90%+ authorization rate, configurable decline sensitivity, ACH + card support, one-click reorder via saved bank data. No platform fees on top, unlike Shopify's 0.15%–2% third-party gateway fee, WooCommerce charges nothing for using an external payment gateway.

Why WooCommerce is the CBD merchant's default stack

WooCommerce runs on your own WordPress install. You own the stack, you pick the gateway, and there's no platform AUP sitting between you and your customers. For CBD merchants, that matters, and you avoid Shopify's per-transaction third-party gateway fee (0.15%–2% depending on plan), which meaningfully affects margins at scale.
