I too don't understand such negative responses here. As far as how it looks the site seems just fine to me. Not being too familiar with this market I'm unsure of the feasibility of the business but the idea seems sound.

Is there any reason why you are cash only at the moment? You really should look into adding some kind of online payment integration (Stripe is very easy to get up and running if the allow it for this market).

Just a heads up, on Chrome/OSX your example boxes popup is created three times, one on top of the other.

Good luck!

Thanks for the encouragement!

If only we could use Stripe! Unfortunately marijuana is specifically mentioned in their list of prohibited businesses: https://stripe.com/us/prohibited-businesses

Look into "high risk merchant accounts". Quite a few CC processors specialize in it. Porn shops, gun shops, marijuana dispensaries, etc, all fall under that umbrella.

Despite the derogatory name, I actually doubt these kind of businesses present a higher than normal financial risk. For example, all gun purchase undergo FBI's NICS background check, so I suspect that gun shops have a lower rate of CC fraud compared to other retailers. As for porn shops, Guy Ritchie says it better than me:

Tom: Listen to this one: you open a company called the "Arse Tickler's Faggots Fan Club".

Soap: You what?

Tom: You take out an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos. You sell it with, I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", "the latest and greatest in sexual technology", "guaranteed results or your money back", all that bollocks. Now, these dils cost twenty-five quid a pop. That's a snip for the amount of pleasure they're gonna give the recipients. But they send their cheques to the other company name – nothing offensive, er, "Bobbie's Bits" or something – for twenty-five quid. You take that twenty-five quid, you stick it in the bank until it clears. Now, this is the smart bit. You send back the cheque for twenty-five pound from the other company name, "Arse Tickler's Faggots Fan Club", saying we're sorry, we couldn't get the supplies from America because they ran out of stock. Now, you see how many people cash that cheque: not a single soul, because who wants their bank manager to know they tickle arse when they're not paying cheques?

Maybe, but porn & guns are legal to sell according to federal law.

That's the hard part. Stripe's rules say you need to pay by Visa and MC's rules. It's hard to get merchant accounts for business like this. People selling porn have a hard time getting merchant accounts and everyone agrees that's legal.
