You've picked your products, filled your cart and clicked checkout. Then you notice something that surprises a lot of first-time cannabis shoppers: there's no credit card option. Instead, you're asked to pay by Interac e-Transfer or cryptocurrency.

If you're used to tapping a card for everything, this can feel unfamiliar. It's actually very common in the cannabis world, and once you've done it once, it's quick and easy. Here's exactly how paying at Kush Station works.

Why there's no card option

Many banks and card payment networks are cautious about anything involving cannabis, and some simply choose not to process those payments. As a result, many online cannabis shops use other methods. No card checkout doesn't mean something's wrong. What matters is how clearly the payment process is explained and how smoothly orders are handled. Kush Station lists its payment options right on its website.

Option 1: Interac e-Transfer

For most Canadians, this is the simplest choice. You send money straight from your online banking.

How it works:

1. Place your order and note your order number.
2. Log into your bank and send an e-Transfer for the exact total.
3. Include your order number in the message if asked.
4. Wait for payment confirmation, then your order ships by Canada Post Xpresspost.

Why people like it: Nearly every Canadian bank supports it, it's fast and there's nothing new to sign up for.

Tips: Double-check the email address before sending, and keep in mind that some banks have daily sending limits for larger orders.

Option 2: Cryptocurrency

Kush Station also accepts crypto. You send payment from your wallet to the address provided at checkout.

Why people like it: It can be fast, and some customers appreciate an extra layer of privacy.

Tips: Crypto payments generally can't be reversed, so always double-check the wallet address. Network fees and price movements can affect the final amount slightly.

Option 3: Kush Points

This is the option everyone loves. Kush Points are Kush Station's rewards currency, and you can redeem them toward your order.

• New customers get $30 in Kush Points just for signing up.
• You earn points on every dollar you spend.
• Leaving product reviews and referring friends can earn extra rewards.

Over time, your points can make a real dent in the cost of future orders.
