Switching to this credit card processor for my online cannabis seed bank, Soak’n Beans, was a game-changer!

Finding Aubrey at PayRio was a total game-changer. From the first conversation, it was clear she genuinely cares, and the entire team reflects that same energy! Libby made onboarding effortless, and they handled the credit card processing setup for my e-commerce site with such clarity and ease. After dealing with a few other providers, working with PayRio felt like a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend.

Spore Stock

PayRio has been awesome. EXTREMELY forward and upfront. Working in a “high risk” business means tons of headaches with payment processors and the like, but PayRio has really made it easy. Cheaper rates, too! I did have to start with a reserve of held funds, but as promised, funds were released after x amount of time.

– Rocco Zehnle, CEO
