BLAZE Introduces BLAZEPAY ACH with Scan-to-Pay Technology

*LOS ANGELES* – BLAZE, a leading cannabis software provider, is proud to
announce the launch of BLAZEPAY ACH with Scan-to-Pay Technology, a modern,
compliant payment solution designed to help dispensaries get paid faster,
reduce transaction fees, and improve the overall customer experience — both
in-store and online.

Unlike other solutions, BLAZEPAY ACH enables same-day and guaranteed ACH
payments, providing retailers with near-instant access to revenue and
significantly lower processing costs. Customers benefit from a seamless,
secure payment process without needing to create an account. The ability to
link a bank with minimal friction leads to higher conversion rates,
increased order completion, and stronger customer loyalty.

In-store, customers simply scan a QR code, link their bank account, and
complete the payment in a single tap—no app downloads, card swipes, or PIN
pads needed. Online, BLAZEPAY ACH is fully integrated with BLAZE ECOM,
supporting embedded checkout payments for a consistent and convenient
e-commerce experience.

Prepayments using BLAZEPAY ACH have been shown to increase average order
value (AOV) by up to 40% and reduce order abandonment by as much as 30%.
The solution also includes chargeback protection through clear merchant
descriptors and deferred fund capture, helping dispensaries reduce risk and
avoid losses when customers add or change items during pickup.

This solution offers dispensaries the flexibility to choose between flat or
percentage-based convenience fees, manage returns and resubmissions, and
set transaction parameters tailored to their business model. Importantly,
BLAZEPAY ACH is backed by a trusted banking partner with a robust,
cannabis-compliant program aligned with FinCEN guidelines, ensuring that
retailers remain secure and compliant at all times.

“BLAZEPAY ACH eliminates the uncertainty that has long plagued cannabis
payments by providing a stable, compliant solution that’s easy for
customers to use both online and in-store.” said Chris Violas, CEO. “With a
seamless checkout experience and next-day access to funds, retailers can
finally move away from risky workarounds and reinvest that capital into
growing their business with confidence.”
