01Eligibility

The category does not decide the case—the evidence does.

Cannabis and CBD are not one uniform risk class. Product, licensing, market, promotion and payment flow are reviewed together.

01

Licensed products

Legal basis, product category and right to sell must match the destination market.

02

CBD & accessories

THC content, lab evidence, health claims and age restrictions are assessed per product.

03

B2B and B2C

Audience, order value, delivery regions and repeat-purchase model shape the payment setup.

04

Case review

An enquiry is not an approval guarantee. Missing or contradictory evidence pauses the review.

02Evidence

Documents that create clarity before integration.

01

Company

Registry extract, beneficial owners, directors and settlement bank account.

02

Products

Catalogue, supply chain, lab reports, ingredients and labelling.

03

Regulatory

Licences or notifications, markets, age checks and advertising claims.

04

Website

Legal pages, shipping, returns, support, product pages and checkout journey.

03Operations

Payment operations do not stop at checkout.

01

Status

Clear states for created, authorised, paid, failed and refunded payments.

02

Webhooks

Signed events and controlled retries for reliable order processes.

03

Reconciliation

References connect the payment, order and internal booking process.

04

Changes

New products, markets or claims are reviewed before rollout.

06FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers for the current, expert-reviewed scope.

Is every CBD store automatically accepted?

No. FoxPay reviews product, ingredients, claims, markets, website and company evidence case by case.

Which payment paths are relevant?

Open Banking and QR Pay are the core bank-direct paths. Commerce integrations and other methods depend on current product status and merchant fit.

How long does the review take?

Timing depends on completeness, product complexity and follow-up questions. We therefore do not publish a blanket activation time.

What happens when the catalogue changes?

Material new products, markets or claims should be reviewed before publication.
