PayQwick and Viola Extracts Announce Agreement to Bring Business-to-Business Electronic Payments to Colorado
(PRWEB) November 15, 2017 -- MJBizCon Expo and Convention in Las Vegas, November 15, 2017 – Viola Extracts, a leading provider of shatter, wax and live resins, and PayQwick, Inc., the leader in seed-to-sale electronic payments for the legal marijuana industry, today announced their agreement bring electronic B2B payments to Colorado.
Viola Extracts, named after former NBA star Al Harrington’s beloved grandmother who started using medicinal cannabis to treat her glaucoma, has been getting paid in cash when delivering its highly sought after extracts to medical and retail marijuana stores in Colorado. “Dealing with all that cash is not only difficult and inefficient for my business, but it put everyone’s safety at risk,” said Al Harrington, Viola’s founder. “As soon as we learned about PayQwick, we signed up right away. We want our customers paying through PayQwick, and as we expand into other states, we want PayQwick with us each step of the way.”
PayQwick’s payment hub allows legal marijuana businesses to pay each other electronically, thereby eliminating cash and ensuring marijuana businesses are getting paid immediately and efficiently upon delivery. “We are thrilled to be working with Viola Extracts and Al, clear leaders in the cannabis industry. Viola Extracts particularly valued its ability to get paid with just a swipe of a finger using PayQwick’s smartphone or tablet computer app,” said Keith Marks, PayQwick’s co-founder and CEO.
Mr. Harrington will be at PayQwick’s exhibitor booth (#3717) from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday at the MJBizCon Expo and Convention in Las Vegas, November 15-17.
Viola is currently operating in Colorado and will be expanding into Oregon in December 2017, followed by California and Michigan in 2018.
