Cannabis is federal-illegal, which means most major banks and card networks won’t touch cannabis transactions — even in states where it’s fully legal. That’s why West Coast Treez checkout looks a little different from a typical online store. Here’s exactly how to pay for your order, step by step.
Accepted Payment Methods
At checkout, West Coast Treez currently accepts:
- Ethereum — pay directly from a crypto wallet to our Ethereum address.
- Zelle, Cash App, Apple Pay, or Chime — standard peer-to-peer payment apps most customers already have installed.
We don’t ask for credit card numbers at checkout, and we never will — that’s a deliberate choice, not a missing feature. It keeps your payment information off our servers entirely.
Paying with Zelle, Cash App, Apple Pay, or Chime
This is the fastest option for most first-time customers. At checkout, select your preferred app as the payment method, and you’ll be given clear instructions for completing the transfer. Once payment is confirmed, your order moves into processing. If you’ve ever paid a friend back for dinner using one of these apps, you already know how to check out with West Coast Treez.
Paying with Ethereum
If you already hold Ethereum in a wallet (Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, or similar), you can send payment directly to the address provided at checkout. A few tips to avoid delays:
- Double-check the wallet address character-for-character before sending — crypto transactions cannot be reversed.
- Send the exact amount listed at checkout, since exchange rates shift between the time you view your cart and the time you pay.
- Keep your transaction hash (TX ID) handy in case our support team needs to verify your payment.
Why We Use These Payment Methods
Traditional card processors and most banks prohibit cannabis-related transactions under their terms of service, even for state-licensed sales. Rather than disguising cannabis purchases as something else at checkout (a practice called transaction laundering, which is both dishonest and against card network rules), we use payment rails that are explicitly built for peer-to-peer and crypto transfers. It’s more transparent, even if it takes one extra step.
Is My Payment Information Safe?
Yes. Peer-to-peer apps and crypto wallets are end-to-end services you already control — West Coast Treez never stores your card, bank, or wallet credentials. Combine that with the fact that every product you’re paying for has a verifiable lab-tested COA, and the entire transaction, from payment to product, is built around transparency.
A Quick Checklist Before You Check Out
- Confirm you’re ordering from a state we legally ship to: California, Oregon, or Washington.
- Have your Zelle, Cash App, Apple Pay, Chime, or Ethereum wallet ready before you reach checkout.
- Double-check payment details before submitting — especially wallet addresses.
- Save your confirmation for your records.
