Hi,

I have an online cigar shop and I need to know which online credit card payment method I can use so customers can pay for these products online.

We tried paypal but they don't work with these kind of products.

Please let me know all the options available.

Thanks

You could try third party payment gateways for your online cigar shop.

The problem with having an online only cigar shop is that it is considered high risk by most underwriters. I understand why you may have a problem opening an account through PayPal.

If you had a store front associated with your online shop then it would be much easier for you to open account. It does not seem like you do so here's a tip:

Certain payment gateways have a category for riskier merchants (sometimes called tier 2.) The fees are a bit higher per transaction but your chances of getting approved are much better.

Hope this helps.
