Nicotine Pouch Payment Gateways for Businesses Turned Down by Stripe, Square, or PayPal
If Stripe, Square, PayPal, or your bank has shut down your nicotine pouch website’s credit card processing, you are not alone. Many website owners reach out to Organic Payment Gateways after a sudden closure or a missed merchant account deposit. Your products are legal for adult use, but most mainstream processors still classify nicotine items as high-risk and block them under their acceptable use policies. Tower Payments can help.
This page explains how you can accept credit cards online using a high-risk-friendly payment gateway and merchant account from Tower Payments. You will also see how underwriting works for regulated products, how Visa and MasterCard registration sometimes fits into the process, and how easily your new gateway connects to your website.

Stripe, Square, and PayPal Shutdown Nicotine Pouch Websites
Most banks and payment gateway providers like Stripe, Shopify Payments, Square, WooPayments, and PayPal decline nicotine pouch websites because their policies prohibit tobacco-derived and synthetic nicotine products. Even smoke-free, spit-free, and tobacco–free pouches can fall under their restricted categories. These platforms generally support only low-risk sellers, so age-restricted items often trigger automated denials or, worse yet, major cash-flow issues due to missing deposits.
If your nicotine pouch website’s checkout stopped working without warning, you can restore credit card payments and cash flow by switching to a high-risk-friendly gateway and merchant account.
