Bitcoin for Cannabis Orders: Why Some Shoppers Prefer It
Bitcoin isn’t the only payment option for online cannabis orders in Canada, but for some shoppers it’s the preferred one. Here’s why, and how sending a Bitcoin payment for an order actually works in practice.
Quick answer
Bitcoin lets you pay for a cannabis order without connecting it to a personal bank account, and once you send the exact amount to the wallet address on your invoice, most orders begin packing after a single network confirmation.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bitcoin more private than e-Transfer?
It doesn’t route through a personal bank account, which many shoppers consider more private, though blockchain transactions are still publicly recorded.
Do I need a special wallet?
No, any standard Bitcoin wallet can send the payment to the address on your invoice.
