Cannabis payments in the U.S. shouldn’t be this hard. Too many retailers are forced to rely on unstable card programs and disconnected systems that slow checkout and increase risk. Cova Pay changes that with vetted, cannabis-compliant ACH and debit card payments fully integrated with Cova POS—so every transaction is faster, accurate, and easy to reconcile. The result: lower operational risk, cleaner reporting, and up to 35% higher revenue per transaction. Payments built for how dispensaries operate today—and where the industry is headed.
Cannabis payments in the U.S. are volatile for a reason: too many programs operate in the shadows, and retailers get stuck dealing with shutdowns, disruption, and uncertainty. Cova Pay is different. We work with vetted payment partners and compliant rails designed for cannabis—so you can accept cashless payments with confidence and continuity.
Standalone payments create double work: manual entry at the terminal, mismatched totals, and end-of-day reconciliation headaches. Cova Pay is fully integrated with Cova POS, so payment amounts flow from the POS automatically and every transaction lands cleanly in reporting—reducing errors and saving serious time.
Cannabis retailers don’t need “gotcha” pricing, especially in a category where margins are already under pressure. Cova Pay is built around straightforward, predictable pricing designed to help improve your effective rate over time, without surprise fees or sudden increases after you’re locked in.
Cova Pay saves us thousands of dollars per year. By no longer having to manually enter the sales amount into a non-integrated payment terminal, we now have minimal inventory loss due to human error.
We were having a lot of issues with our previous payment processor, the biggest one being constant delays. We ended up learning about Cova Pay—we were already using Cova for our POS software. We integrated it, it’s worked amazing and a heck of a lot faster.
The checkout experience has been absolutely amazing with Cova Pay. Transactions take less than 10 seconds now—compared to 30 seconds or more with our previous provider. The system is also user-friendly, so our team members can access software upgrades and features to ensure the checkout process is as efficient as possible.
I cannot express how impactful Cova Pay has become for our dispensary; the average transaction size is 3x higher as customer no longer worry about the cash they carry.
