CBD wellness brands often sell online-first with subscriptions and influencer spikes that look like fraud to a generic gateway. You need continuity underwriting, tokenized rebills, and fraud tuning that protects margin without killing conversion. We wire interchange-plus CNP, recurring with card updater, and placement that matches how you actually ship and market.
