Question for dispensary owners: would crypto payments actually solve anything for you?

Hey everyone — I’m working on CoinPay Portal, a non-custodial crypto payment gateway for merchants, and I’m trying to get honest feedback from people actually operating in cannabis retail.

I’m not here to pretend crypto magically solves payments, banking, compliance, taxes, accounting, or POS headaches. I’m trying to understand whether dispensary owners/operators would even want a crypto or stablecoin payment option, or whether it creates more problems than it solves.

The basic idea is:

• Customers can pay with crypto or stablecoins
• Funds go directly to the merchant’s wallet
• CoinPay Portal does not custody merchant funds
• API/webhook support for checkout or custom integrations
• Optional escrow tools for certain transactions

A few questions for owners/operators:

• Do customers ever ask to pay with crypto or stablecoins?
• Would this be useful only if it worked with your existing POS or checkout flow?
• Is volatility, compliance, accounting, customer adoption, or trust the biggest concern?
• What would make something like this an immediate “no” for your store?

I’m not asking anyone to sign up. I’d rather hear what’s unrealistic, annoying, or missing from the idea before building in the wrong direction.

For context: coinpayportal.com

Happy to answer questions, but mostly looking for blunt feedback from people who understand the day-to-day reality of running a dispensary.
