This creates a usage-based revenue component that grows with customer transaction volume and provides higher-margin income compared to pure software subscriptions.

Reviewing context
Payments turn Dutchie from a seat based software vendor into a company that earns more as each dispensary sells more. A monthly software fee might stay near $299 to $1,000 per location, but Pay by Bank adds a fee every time a shopper checks out, so the same store can expand Dutchie revenue simply by driving more orders through Dutchie POS, kiosks, and online checkout. That makes payments a cleaner upside lever than just selling another module.
-
Dutchie has built payments into the checkout flow itself, including online checkout, POS, and kiosks. That matters because payment revenue only compounds when the product is sitting directly inside the transaction path, not bolted on as a separate app.
-
The market already shows why this matters. POSaBIT built a cannabis software business around payments first, and Treez has launched TreezPay to copy the same playbook. In cannabis retail, whoever controls tender often controls the most valuable part of the software stack.
-
This revenue stream can also carry better unit economics than subscriptions because very little extra sales or support work is needed when an existing dispensary processes more volume. Dutchie reported more than 1 million daily payments in early 2026, which shows how transaction based revenue can scale faster than location count.
The next step is deeper payment penetration across the installed base. As Dutchie pushes Pay by Bank and instant bank payments into more in store, kiosk, and ecommerce flows, revenue should track the growth of cannabis sales on the platform, not just the number of dispensaries using the software.
