Payment gateway provider Secure Trading and merchant acquiring arm acquiring.com has announced a new strategic partnership with UK-based digital agency Dijitul, which provides web design services, including e-commerce sites for B2B and B2C businesses. 

With a number of clients operating within the CBD oil space that may find it difficult to find payment providers that work with merchants in emerging markets, Dijitul have chosen Secure Trading Group’s integrated payment system as a tried-and-tested model for CBD businesses. 

Challenges often faced by new CBD merchants include incompatibility between payments provider and website developer, lack of faith as a new business in an emerging market and reluctance to engage with merchants within the CBD space. 

Secure Trading/acquiring.com operate extensively in the CBD industry, and their high-quality services and expertise that will prove valuable to Dijitul’s client-base as they target online growth.

“Secure Trading’s cost-effective pricing model for emerging market merchants is perfect for our CBD clients,” Dave Hartshorne, director and co-founder at Dijitul, said. “The on-boarding process for our clients will be quick and simple, allowing merchants to easily set up new online payment services, or switch from an existing provider.”

Craig Brightly, head of sales at Secure Trading, added: “Strategic partnerships like these allow us to connect with ambitious CBD start-ups that need guidance in setting up their e-commerce platforms. Thanks to partners such as Dijitul, we can help young businesses to grow and fulfil their online commercial potential with a beautiful website and robust payment system.”
