THCA hemp-derived products — flower, concentrates, edibles — are a category Shopify Payments often restricts. Storefront and fulfillment stay online; the payment step breaks. Own-domain checkout wires the hemp-friendly gateway you have contracted with into Shopify, without needing it on Shopify's approved list, and cascades to a backup MID when the primary throttles.
THCA restrictions from Shopify Payments hit the payment method, not the Shopify account. Product catalog, lab-report attachments, cart, subscription tool, ERP, fulfillment app and marketing pixels all continue. Move the checkout URL to your own subdomain, wire the hemp-friendly MID, and Shopify continues serving orders.
API keys for the hemp-friendly gateway you have already contracted with. Hemp-specialist NMI reseller, offshore acquirer, custom HTTP banking rail.

Second hemp-friendly MID as fallback. Cascade rotates on decline, throttle, velocity block. Order writes back to Shopify tagged [cascade].
Legal status of THCA hemp products varies significantly by country, US state, product delta-9 content, testing method and enforcement priority. Several US states restrict or ban THCA hemp entirely; others allow it under specific delta-9 thresholds; federal law and state law disagree in places. You remain responsible for compliance, lab-report substantiation, age verification where applicable, and MCC disclosure in every jurisdiction you sell to. CascadeCheckout does not modify or hide your product category from your acquirer.

No. We do not underwrite or issue MIDs. You contract with your own hemp-friendly acquirer or high-risk gateway. We are the software layer that wires the MID you bring and cascades to a backup MID on decline.

Depends on your underwriting, jurisdiction, product mix and lab-report substantiation. Hemp-specialist NMI resellers, offshore acquirers and custom-HTTP banking rails serve some THCA merchants. Approval is between you and the acquirer.
Bring the MID. We wire the cascade.
