Payment solution for cannabis social clubs in Spain
Cannabis social clubs in Spain are non-profit associations, so members contribute solely through donations. A payment solution arranges card acceptance for the association, so members can make their donations by card instead of only in cash. LunaPay sets this up through multiple licensed acquirers for continuity, with a complete package for Spanish clubs including a facilitated business bank account and European IBAN. That way you can focus on your members instead of your bank.
Why clubs in Spain struggle to get card acceptance
Spanish cannabis social clubs are private non-profit associations that operate on a membership basis. Members contribute through donations. Because of banking and legal caution, most clubs cannot process those donations by card and fall back on cash, with all the drawbacks that brings: cash handling, security and administration. We do set up your card acceptance through licensed partners, tailored to the association model.
What you get with LunaPay
A cannabis social club is a non-profit association and operates at the desk:
- Card acceptance at the desk for your members’ donations.
- A facilitated business bank account and European IBAN through our licensed partners.
- Next-working-day payout, depending on your package.
- Multiple acquirers as a backstop.
- Guidance through onboarding, tailored to the association model.
Your payments keep running.
Most providers rely on a single acquirer, the party that processes your card transactions. If that one goes down or refuses your sector, your payments stop. With us, every transaction runs across multiple licensed acquirers. If one declines or falters, another takes over instantly. That is what we call multi-acquiring. For a club, this means you do not fall back on cash the moment one party pulls out, because your acceptance is spread across multiple acquirers.
