South Dakota Dispensary ATMs & Payment Services

South Dakota began its medical marijuana program in 2021, allowing licensed dispensaries to serve qualified patients across the state. Although voters approved recreational cannabis in 2020, that law was overturned, and as of now, adult-use cannabis remains illegal. The state has not passed decriminalization, meaning possession without a valid medical card can still lead to criminal charges. In this strict, cash-first environment, Greenstar ATM helps dispensaries stay efficient and compliant with on-site ATMs and secure, cannabis-friendly debit card processing.

Helping South Dakota Medical Cannabis Dispensaries Operate Smoothly with Secure, Compliant Payment Options

South Dakota Cannabis Laws at a Glance

  • Medical Marijuana (Legal & Operational):

        • Legalized in 2020 through Initiated Measure 26, with implementation beginning in 2021.

        • Overseen by the South Dakota Department of Health (DOH).

        • Patients must be certified by a healthcare provider and issued a state medical cannabis card.

        • Licensed dispensaries are permitted to sell flower, edibles, tinctures, topicals, and other medical cannabis products.

  • Recreational Marijuana (Illegal & Criminalized):
        • Although approved by voters in 2020, recreational cannabis was later overturned by court ruling.

        • A subsequent attempt to legalize recreational use in 2022 also failed at the ballot.

        • No statewide decriminalization: possession without a medical card is still a misdemeanor offense.

Why South Dakota Dispensaries Need On-Site ATMs

Due to federal restrictions, cannabis businesses are unable to use traditional banking systems, meaning cash is the default form of payment in dispensaries. An in-store ATM allows patients to withdraw funds quickly and securely, boosting convenience, reducing walkouts, and increasing average ticket sizes.

Greenstar ATM provides everything you need:

  • Free ATM Installation – We manage setup, service, and maintenance with zero cost to your business.

  • Flexible Leasing & Purchasing – Choose the option that fits your business model and growth goals.

  • 24/7 Monitoring & Support – We keep your ATM running so you never miss a sale.

  • Reliable Equipment – Our ATMs are designed for high-traffic, security-sensitive environments.

Offer PIN Debit Payments with Full Compliance

Greenstar ATM also provides PIN-based debit processing, giving South Dakota dispensaries the ability to accept card payments in a compliant and secure way. This gives patients a convenient, cashless payment option while keeping you within regulatory guidelines.

  • Faster Checkout – Shorten lines and serve more patients efficiently.

  • Increased Spending – Debit-paying patients typically spend more per visit.

  • Improved Security – Lower in-store cash levels reduce risk of theft and shrinkage.

  • Cannabis-Specific Compliance – Our systems are tailored to state medical marijuana regulations.
