Dispense, one of the fastest-growing software companies in the cannabis space, serves dispensaries in California, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Maine, New Jersey, Florida and Massachusetts – with plans to launch next in Oklahoma and Colorado. Dispense empowers dispensaries to sell online and scale business with customizable software built by dispensaries, for dispensaries. The easy-to-use software creates a customizable eCommerce menu for dispensaries that leverages SEO to increase web traffic automatically. Equipped with powerful and customer-centered technology, businesses can simplify operations, increase revenue, and build customer loyalty — all while owning their data.
“We’re thrilled to announce this partnership with Aeropay, which will add compliant and fully integrated payments to Dispense’s platform,” said Dispense CEO Kyla Sirni. “So far, dispensaries implementing the Dispense management platform have seen the average shopping cart size increase at least 25%.”
Dispensaries are unable to process traditional card payments while cannabis remains illegal at the federal level, and most major banks have stayed away from working with the cannabis industry. Businesses and customers are forced to make predominantly cash transactions, but sales trends show that 51% of customers prefer to make contactless, secure payments for goods and services.
