Garden of Eden Achieves 58% Adoption on Online Payments with Tymber

Over 15 years ago, Garden of Eden opened its doors for the first time to Alameda County, California residents. As online sales began to mature, GoE recognized the importance and invested in its digital growth.

The team began to look for an ecommerce partner that could handle high volume, provide e-commerce SEO, custom branding, and integrated online payments.

Already having implemented TREEZ, a secure cloud-based POS platform  that enabled GoE to run their business with peace of mind, they needed something to take them to the next level. Their search led them to the Tymber platform which could easily integrate with their POS, giving them two platforms that performed for them in the most critical hours.

Thanks to Tymber’s innovative approach to migrating customer accounts, the GoE team saw no very little friction on the cutover from their legacy e-commerce provider. And in the first week, they broke 50% adoption for online payments.

Just four months later, the adoption rate is approaching 60% and is steadily increasing.

About Garden of Eden

What started out as a refuge for community members seeking responsibly sourced medical cannabis in the quasi-legal market of its time, has strengthened its roots and weathered the storms, to become one of the Bay Area’s oldest retail dispensaries. The OG California dispensary has taken the scene by storm—Garden of Eden offers one of the best-curated selections of a variety of cannabis products, choosing quality over quantity for their customers since 2003.

Garden of Eden applies the same quality-first approach that has not only won them the award for Best Flower Selection in the East Bay Area but puts them at the forefront of the California industry— from their vibrant dispensary feel all the way to their diverse charity connections.

GoE has further solidified itself as a pillar in the community for its clean and high-quality cannabis products, modern and approachable shopping experience, and unique style carried out by the Tymber architecture.

The Challenge

Online payments in the cannabis industry traditionally have a very low adoption rate. The root cause is shallow integrations and bad user experiences.

Cashless payment options for cannabis retail delivery and pickup have become an essential part of a modern business's success. Cashless options increase sales, improve business and customer security, and reduce the operational challenges of cash management.
