What is the best payment gateway for CBD sales in Mexico?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

Main issue: Choosing a payment gateway to sell CBD (cannabidiol) products in Mexico on Shopify.

Latest guidance: Shopify support points to the official list of supported payment gateways for Mexico and notes that Bankful is generally known to support CBD transactions.

Important caveats: Each gateway has its own Terms of Service (TOS) that can change. Questions about policies, CBD acceptance, rates, and fees must be directed to the gateway itself. Shopify can suggest options but does not decide the gateway for merchants.

Actionable next steps:

  • Review the official list of Mexico-supported gateways.
  • Contact shortlisted gateways (e.g., Bankful) to confirm current CBD policies, pricing, and onboarding requirements.

Status: No definitive “best” gateway selected; decision remains with the merchant after verification.

Hi there, @Liamsmith .

You can find a full list of the Gateways that we support for our merchants based in Mexico right here. Of these gateways listed, the one that would generally be known to support items such as CBD products would be Bankful.

Please do note: All gateways have their own Terms of Service (TOS), and may be subject to change at any time. You should direct all questions around TOS/policy, rates, or fees to the respective gateway. We can offer suggestions, but ultimately the decision on which gateway to use is solely up to you. I trust this helps - thank you!
