CBD & vape ecommerce · UK
Ecommerce built for high-risk products
Online stores for products the big platforms would rather not touch. Shopify, WooCommerce or custom-built, with the payment gateway, age verification, subscriptions and wholesale pricing that CBD, cannabis and vape brands actually need.
Ecommerce features for high-risk products
Standard ecommerce plus the layer that keeps a CBD or vape store compliant, approved and profitable.
High-risk payments
Gateway and merchant account arranged and integrated; 3-D Secure; card and wallet options that don’t depend on PayPal or Stripe.
Age verification
Age gate on entry, verification at checkout where required, and age-checked delivery options for vape products.
Subscriptions
Subscribe-and-save for oils, gummies and e-liquids using subscription tools that permit the category.
Wholesale & trade
Account approval, tiered pricing, MOQs, quick re-order and invoicing for B2B customers alongside retail.
Lab reports & batch data
COA lookups by batch number, ingredient and strength data structured for both customers and search engines.
Compliance controls
Product-level rules: warnings, disclaimers, shipping restrictions by product type and by UK nation.
Proper analytics
GA4 ecommerce tracking, server-side where useful, and reporting that shows which channels actually generate revenue.
Lifecycle email
Welcome, abandoned cart, replenishment and win-back flows on an email platform that accepts your products.
Speed
Optimised themes, image pipelines and app discipline so large catalogues still pass Core Web Vitals.
Which platform?
We build on all three and recommend based on your catalogue, margins and team.
Shopify
Reliable, scalable, easy to run. Needs a third-party gateway (Shopify Payments excludes CBD and vape) and a vetted app stack. Best for D2C brands and multi-channel sellers.
Shopify for CBD & vapeWooCommerce
Full ownership, no platform transaction fees, unlimited flexibility, strong for content-led SEO. Needs proper hosting and maintenance — which we provide. Best for content-heavy or B2B-heavy stores.
Hosting & supportCustom
For marketplaces, unusual subscription or compliance logic, or heavy integration with ERPs and EPOS. Built by dijitul’s development team on a modern PHP stack.

Moving a store that a platform has turned against
A lot of our ecommerce work starts with a phone call that begins “they’ve frozen our account”. Whether it’s a payment provider, a platform or an app, we can move you — products, customers, orders, reviews and URLs — to a setup that will still be standing next year, with redirects that protect your rankings.
- Full data migration with matched URLs and 301 redirects
- Gateway application started before the move so there’s no gap in trading
- Parallel running and testing before switch-over
- Post-launch monitoring of rankings, errors and conversion
Ecommerce FAQs
How much does a CBD or vape ecommerce site cost?
It depends on platform, catalogue size and integrations. We quote fixed prices after a scoping call; new brands can start with a startup package.
Can you integrate our EPOS or stock system?
Usually, yes — most modern EPOS and inventory systems have integrations or APIs for Shopify and WooCommerce, and custom builds can connect to almost anything.
Do subscription apps allow CBD and vape?
Some do, some don’t, and it changes. We maintain a shortlist of subscription, review and email tools that currently accept the category and choose from those.
Can we sell on marketplaces too?
Amazon UK and eBay restrict most CBD ingestibles and vape products; some niche marketplaces accept them. We can advise on multi-channel options that are actually open to you.
