Ohana Cannabis Co was the first dispensary in California to utilize Paloma Pay. With delivery
and retail locations across the state, Ohana serves a broad range of customers. They wanted
to accept cryptocurrency to offer cashless payments to a broader range of customers.
During the covid-19 pandemic the need for contactless payments became even more pressing, and
Ohana piloted using cryptocurrency for delivery orders to reduce contact between customers
and drivers. In addition to offering a safer way to pay, cryptocurrency allowed Ohana to
accept prepayment of orders. This reduced the amount of time that delivery drivers had to
spend with each customer and made operations more efficient.
According to COO Mariam Monroe
“We did a crypto payment pilot at Ohana Cannabis Co. using Paloma Pay, and the process was
exceptionally efficient and simple! Within a few minutes, everything was processed, prepaid,
and the customer received the products not only in half of the time, but also in a
contactless manner. The best part of it however, is that Ohana Cannabis Co. transferred the
crypto payment into US Dollars within minutes of the customer's payment, which is
faster than debit and credit card payment systems!
The Paloma Pay team hosted both in person and remote trainings for Ohana staff to ensure they
were comfortable using the platform. Want your team to use Paloma Pay? Contact us
