Spendr and BLAZEPAY ACH both take cannabis payments by bank (ACH). BLAZEPAY ACH is built into BLAZE and powered by Aeropay: customers scan a QR code, log in to their bank, and pay. It only works on BLAZE and is payments only. Spendr works with any POS, including BLAZE, and adds Spendr-funded rewards for your customers and marketing that brings them back; customers can pay in the app or on the web with no download required (Spendr publishes a 22% average increase in transaction value).

BLAZEPAY ACH is pay-by-bank built into BLAZE and powered by Aeropay. Customers scan a QR code, log in to their bank, and pay; the sale updates in BLAZE. BLAZE lists optional tipping and a same-day ACH settlement option. Like Dutchie Pay by Bank, it only works on its own POS and is payments only. It is separate from BLAZE's card terminals.
Spendr is pay-by-bank (ACH) plus Spendr-funded rewards and marketing, built to grow ticket size and repeat visits. Customers can pay in the Spendr app or on the web, with no download required.
Only want payments inside BLAZE → BLAZEPAY ACH. Want customers to come back, with Spendr funding their rewards and your marketing → Spendr (no POS switch required).
Trade-off in one line: BLAZEPAY is payments only, inside BLAZE; Spendr is payments plus Spendr-funded rewards and marketing on any POS. There is no direct BLAZE × Spendr integration, so on BLAZE Spendr runs as an offline tender. Written by Spendr; BLAZE details from blaze.me and support.blaze.me, checked October 2026.
