J&J Merchant Services Announces Launch Of Herbal Indulgence (HI!) Pos For State-Legal Cannabis Retailers

J&J Merchant Services launches Herbal Indulgence (HI!) POS, a platform for state-legal cannabis retailers featuring QR-based, bank-to-bank payments.

ASHBURN, VA, UNITED STATES, March 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- J&J Merchant Services today announced the launch of Herbal Indulgence (HI!) POS Software, a point-of-sale and payments platform built for state-legal cannabis and other regulated retail environments. The release marks an expansion of the company’s regulated-industry payments capabilities and provides cannabis operators an option designed for electronic, bank-to-bank payment acceptance and operational reporting in a single workflow.

HI! POS supports QR-based checkout flows that allow customers to initiate payment from a mobile device, with transactions routed through bank-to-bank rails rather than traditional card networks. The platform is positioned for dispensaries and related operators seeking alternatives to cash-heavy front-of-house operations and aiming to improve transaction traceability and reconciliation.

“Herbal Indulgence represents our next step in regulated-industry payments,” said Jeff Liller, co-founder of J&J Merchant Services. “Operators want a checkout experience that feels modern while still respecting the realities of cannabis compliance and financial access.”

NEW CANNABIS POS WITH QR BANK PAY
• New platform availability — HI! POS is now available for rollout to qualified, state-legal cannabis merchants, with staged onboarding based on merchant profile and banking compatibility.
• QR-enabled bank payment flow — The product introduces a QR-based checkout designed to support bank-to-bank authorization as an alternative to cash at the point of sale.
• Operational alignment — The platform is intended to support transaction logging and day-to-day reconciliation for regulated retail environments.

“Our focus is to deliver infrastructure that helps operators reduce cash friction while maintaining transparent, auditable payment records,” said Christopher Hester, co-founder of J&J Merchant Services.

CANNABIS PAYMENTS FACE CARD NETWORK LIMITS
Cannabis retailers continue to face constraints on traditional card acceptance due to federal legal conflicts and network restrictions. As a result, many dispensaries have turned to alternative payment approaches, including bank-to-bank methods, to enable electronic checkout while improving safety and reducing cash handling.
