CBD is a category Shopify Payments often restricts, even when the product is federally compliant hemp-derived formulation. The Shopify store, product catalog, ads, apps and fulfillment all keep working after a restriction — the payment step is what fails. Own-domain checkout wires the CBD-friendly gateway you have contracted with, without touching Shopify's approved list.
When Shopify Payments restricts a CBD account, what breaks is one payment method — not the entire Shopify stack. Product pages keep loading. Cart, discount codes, customer accounts, Klaviyo flows, fulfillment app, marketing pixels all continue to fire. The buyer just hits a broken checkout button. Move the checkout to a URL you own with a CBD-friendly MID behind it, and Shopify continues.

Add a backup CBD-friendly route. If the primary throttles or a chargeback spike triggers a restriction, the next MID captures without buyer-visible failure.
Legal status of CBD varies by country, US state, product formulation, THC content, dosing and delivery method. You remain responsible for compliance, accurate labeling and MCC disclosure in every jurisdiction you sell to. CascadeCheckout does not modify or hide your product category from your acquirer.
CBD is a category Shopify Payments often restricts depending on jurisdiction, product formulation and merchant risk profile. Even hemp-derived CBD under federal thresholds runs into inconsistent approval. Own-domain checkout via CascadeCheckout lets you wire a CBD-friendly MID directly.
No. We do not underwrite or issue CBD MIDs. You contract with your own CBD-friendly acquirer or high-risk gateway. We are the software layer that wires it into Shopify checkout and cascades to a backup MID on decline.

Yes. Shopify Payments is one payment method inside Shopify — the storefront, products, apps and fulfillment are separate. Move checkout to your own domain and route through your CBD-friendly MID.
