1. Our Mission
Due to federal regulations both recreational and medical cannabis companies are unable to process
electronic payments or gain access in many cases to traditional banking and its solutions. Regulations at
all levels of government are constantly changing, and the e-commerce industry as we know it today is
unable to support the growing cannabis economy. GrowPayment is leveraging the technical challenges of
the cannabis industry and the maturing cryptocurrency economy to develop a multi-vendor marketplace
for cannabis related products that supports both fiat money and cryptocurrency transactions. Bringing
this vision to reality will come in part by our flagship product, Stembis.com, a marketplace that was coined
“the Amazon of cannabis” by The TechInsider. Stembis will feature applications such as live POS market
data, consumer insights, embedded international trade regulations, advertisement solutions and Geo-
Fencing technology.
2. The State of the Cannabis Industry
Despite the legalization of cannabis in several US states it still remains listed as a schedule 1 drug under
the Controlled Substances Act, which means all US-based cannabis business are by definition illegal at the
federal level. An estimated 70% of medical cannabis companies do not have bank accounts. In the US.
cannabis businesses are being turned down by the majority of commercial, retail and investment banks
due to the nature of their business which has forced dispensaries to deal in cash, which leads to an
unavoidable increase in cost for security, risk management and surveillance.
Retail cannabis sales in the US could top $17 billion by 2021 representing a 300% increase from 2016. In
the first two months of adult-use legalization in California, consumers spent an estimated $339 million on
cannabis products, a majority of which was in cash.
Both the House of Commons and the Senate in
Canada’s parliament have voted to legalize recreational
cannabis nationwide by October 17th, 2018. Italy,
Germany, U.K, Uruguay, Netherlands, and Spain have
already legalized cannabis for medicinal purposes;
Australia, Chile, Czech Republic, India and Portugal are
all working towards their own Cannabis laws.

3. Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology combined with smart contracts will be the driving force for the long-term growth
of the cannabis industry. Blockchain based marketplaces provide a peer-to-peer network that can directly
connect buyers to sellers on both a B2B and B2C level, eliminating the need of a middleman.
What is a Blockchain
A digital ledger in which transactions (e.g. flow of goods, prescriptions, etc) are recorded chronologically
and publicly. Each transaction is digitally signed to ensure its authenticity and that no one tampers with
it, so the ledger itself and the existing transactions within it are assumed to be of high integrity.
How Blockchain Works
When a new transaction occurs it first must be verified and accepted by the blockchain, it is then added
to the blockchain ledger and a block (holding the data) is added to the chain of transactions. Each of these
blocks are connected to the previous block and the one after it to create an irreversible and immutable
chain. These chains prevent any individual block from being altered with or a block being inserted
between existing ones.
Blockchain Transparency
Different to traditional financial systems, blockchain provides a deep level of transparency, ensuring that
holdings and transactions of each public address are open to viewing.
Inputting a public address in to an explorer tool makes it possible to view all previous transactions and
current holdings of that address, increasing the level of accountability to large businesses.
Smart Contracts
Smart contracts are contracts that have been coded and embedded onto a particular blockchain. The code
contains all the rules, conditions, expiry dates and all other relevant information needed for its fulfilment.
These smart contracts provide a “trustless solution” as the contract will execute automatically once the
terms are met and not before.

4. Traditional Marketplace vs Blockchain
Marketplace
As the world discovers new technology and adapts to new markets, traditional methodologies become
obsolete. Modern marketplace systems are primed to disrupt the market and cannabis with its geo
political complexities is the agent to spark that change.
Traditional Marketplace Blockchain Marketplace
Network Model Centralized Decentralized
Number of Clients Limited by systems and International Operations
No Limitations
Scalability Costly and Time Consuming Fast Scaling and Cost Effective
Traceability Third-party database Immutable public-private ledger
Agreements Risk being adjusted on the fly and not being honored
Embedded and executed through smart contracts
Privacy User information is required upfront
Customer profile is unlocked through temporary key
Dispute resolution Subjective and slow by design Objective smart contract escrow service + network arbitration
Proof of origin tracking No mechanism in place Seed to delivery tracking compatible
Listing Fee Up to $8 per item No cost
Payment Processing Fees Up to 15% As low as 0%
Speed of Transactions Potentially several days Near instant
Withdrawal of Funds Potentially several days Immediate

5. Introducing the GRPM Token
The GrowPayment token will be the primary token accepted throughout the Stembis marketplace as well
as the entire GrowPayment ecosystem. The GRPM token is based on the decentralized Ethereum market
standard smart contract ERC20 token with the potential to move to ERC223 standards to increase user
experience. As a large part of the cannabis industry is currently unbanked, the GRPM token acts as a
solution providing vendors with a form of bank account (Digital Wallet) and an additional way for
consumers to make purchases.
P a g e | 7
Vendors will be able to use GRPM tokens to pay for services such as; advertising, Stembis platform
solutions and B2B purchases. GRPM tokens can then be liquidated on a partner cryptocurrency exchange
or through Bancor’s network. Many of the fees involved in banking, maintaining accounts and success
fees are reduced. Moreover, vendors open the door to a huge market of token holders both in GRPM
tokens and with niche cannabis collaborators that are positioning themselves to be part of the Stembis
platform.
Consumers will be able to transact throughout the GrowPayment ecosystem using GRPM tokens.
Using GRPM tokens, GrowPayment will be able to reward loyal consumers with airdrops of tokens to their
personal wallet. Loyalty drops will be based on frequency and size of transactions (B2C and B2B).
Customers can also receive GRPM tokens when engaging the social network by leaving comments and
reviews for products and vendors, special discounts and added value items will be available only for GRPM
users to drive adoption.

6. GrowPayment Ecosystem
P a g e | 9
6.1 How it Works
The GrowPayment ecosystem will allow vendors in the Cannabis industry to access greater methods of
payment acceptance, give token holders of various cryptocurrencies a platform to use and liquidate their
tokens, and give users full vision on inventory quality and movements.

6.2 Stembis
Stembis is an online marketplace for the premium cannabis market featuring only the highest quality and
packaging in cannabis and cannabis related products. The purpose of the marketplace is to reshape the
image of the cannabis industry by removing the negative stigma and demonstrating a high value niche to
the general public. Stembis also provides the solution to streamline payments and breakthrough payment
barriers for vendors by allowing the acceptance of credit cards, cash, alternative payment gateways and
various cryptocurrencies.
How it works
Similar to popular marketplaces such as Amazon, Stembis also features a multivendor functional platform
that connects to the Stembis fulfillment network. Vendors will be able to create their own storefronts
and list their most premium products for sale while choosing the currencies they are willing to accept
between various fiat payment gateways, GRPM tokens and GrowPayment’s partner cryptocurrencies.
Vendors can also take advantage of the Stembis advertising solution by having their products featured on
key areas of the website and various Stembis social media channels.
Shoppers will be able to browse
and purchase products on
Stembis.com and checkout using
any fiat payment gateway and
vendor accepted cryptocurrencies.
The shopper can then view and
track each order through the
Stembis fulfillment network.
Blockchain Integration
Our payment processor is capable of accepting BTC, ETH, GRPM or any of our partner ERC-20 tokens as a
valid form of payment. The payment processor will let the user pay directly using their Metamask account
(chrome plug-in) or let them use their own wallet ID to scan the QR code and confirm the transaction.
There will be a direct live conversion factor applied at the checkout page to calculate the exact amount in
P a g e | 11
cryptocurrency equivalent to the dollar price of each product as well as the gas requirement. An invoice
will be generated when the transaction is confirmed. The tokens are placed in an escrow account and are
cleared to the vendors when the products are delivered.
The processor will first confirm if the customer has enough cryptocurrency to pay for the transaction,
when confirmed, an action is generated where the customer authorizes payment. The processor then
confirms the transaction for every successful payment the transaction ID is attached with the invoice,
which is publicly available on the Ethereum blockchain.
6.3 Stembis Fulfillment Network
The Stembis fulfillment network is to increase the user and vendor experience by facilitating quick delivery
of products while maintaining full vision and transparency on each inventory.
How it works
GrowPayment will employ a distribution center to manage the Stembis fulfillment program. Vendors will
be able to send their inventory to the Stembis warehouse and leave the management and fulfillment up
to Stembis. As soon as the inventory is received, each item will be tagged with a unique RFID tag and
stored on the Ethereum network. Vendors and customers will be able to view the history and movement
of each product on a live interface. With the transparency of using blockchain, users will be able to ensure
the quality of each product by viewing the temperature each item was stored in, the shelf life, damages,
whether it was a returned item and more.
Blockchain Integration
The Stembis fulfillment DAPP will feature roles created for each participant in the supply chain. The goods
are the ‘asset’ on the platform which are transferred from one participant to another. Each asset is paired
with a GRPM token to ensure validity and provenance.
Each Stembis fulfilment smart contract is deployed to ensure end to end regulatory compliance, which
means it will reject transactions where shipping address is outside service area (where it is illegal to ship
cannabis products based on end to end user product and shipping address). It will also enforce strict
quality control measures where if minimum shelf life or temperature condition doesn’t comply with our
standards by the next participant in the blockchain, the product will be dropped from the supply chain
and marked as 'waste'.
P a g e | 12
6.4 Tap to Pay
GrowPayment will help the legal Cannabis industry bypass payment restrictions from Stripe, PayPal, major
banks and other payment gateways by offering our own tap to pay mobile solution. By partnering up with
cannabis friendly payment gateways and the use of cryptocurrency, GrowPayment will give consumers
and vendors the option to accept more than just cash payments.
How it works
GrowPayment will partner up with cannabis stores and provide them with an internally developed
payment terminal based on the Android operating system. Vendors will be able to upload their inventory
into the GrowPayment Tap to Pay application and assign each product with a unique identifier. Vendors
will also need to assign their wallet ID or Metamask account to their store account on the payment
terminal.
On purchase, the vendor will enter the unique identifier of the purchased items into the mobile
application to generate the invoice ID in which the dollar amount of the transaction will be pushed to the
payment terminal; customers who have the mobile application will use the NFC module in their phone to
tap the payment terminal to bring up the purchase. If a customer wants to pay in fiat currency, then they
can choose the appropriate payment gateway whether it is through credit card or cash alternatives and
complete the purchase. However, if a customer wants to pay through cryptocurrency, they can link their
wallet ID or Metamask account to the mobile application and scan the QR code of the transaction to
directly complete the token transfer.
P a g e | 13
Blockchain Integration
The payment terminal will send a request to the customer’s mobile application account that is linked to
their wallet. On cryptocurrency payment options, a direct calculation of the chosen cryptocurrency will
be calculated based on the live conversion rates as well as gas cost. Once a customer confirms and
approves the purchase, the payment will be processed. GrowPayment will deploy its own private
Ethereum nodes to confirm transactions to ensure quick processing speeds and enhance security while
preventing any spoofing of data. The payment terminal will use an Ethereum access API to ensure a secure
link between the Ethereum blockchain and its applications.
6.5 Pos Market Data & Consumer Insights
The explosion of ecommerce and big data has led to an unprecedented time to be in consumer analytics
and strategy. There are countless ways to slice and dice a dataset to uncover the next big product
characteristics, seed strain, untapped market and so much more. POS market leaders such as Nielson and
First Data have set the blueprint for the retail industry but have also trapped it in the past.
GrowPayment’s POS Market Data platform will provide producers and sellers access to raw aggregate
data and a suite of analytics and predictive models that will help to drive their business
forward. Leveraging the best in machine learning, platform users can come to leverage insights on topics
such as demographics, purchasing behavior, recency, frequency, preferences, and many others to gauge
the strength of their businesses and compete in the multi-billion-dollar global cannabis industry.
Blockchain Integration
Purchasers on the marketplace will be pleased to know that their customer profile will never be
shared across the network or reside on a GrowPayment internal network. Leveraging zero-knowledge
proofs, information at the micro scale can be verified without ever having to be seen to generate macro
insights. Zero-knowledge proofs and time sensitive keys allow for purchasers to support the ecosystem in
an anonymous way, but to be also incentivized to provide more detailed information on their profile and
habits through a self-administered smart contract.

P a g e | 19
ADHERENCE TO ALL LEGAL AND REGULATORY
STANDARDS
The purchase of any tokens involves a high degree of risk, including but not limited to the risks described
below. Before purchasing GRPM Tokens, it is recommended that each participant carefully weighs all the
information and risks detailed in this White Paper, and, specifically, the following risk factors.
A. Dependence on computer infrastructure
GrowPayment dependence on functioning software applications, computer hardware and the Internet
implies that GrowPayment can offer no assurances that a system failure would not adversely affect the
use of your GRPM Tokens. Despite GrowPayment implementation of all reasonable network security
measures, its processing center servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-
ins or other disruptions of a similar nature. Computer viruses, break-ins or other disruptions caused by
third parties may result in interruption, delay or suspension of services, which would limit the use of the
GRPM Tokens.
B. Smart contract limitations
Smart contract technology is still in its early stages of development, and its application is of experimental
nature. This may carry significant operational, technological, regulatory, reputational and financial risks.
Consequently, although the audit conducted by independent third party increases the level of security,
reliability, and accuracy, this audit cannot serve as any form of warranty, including any expressed or
implied warranty that the GRPM Smart Contract is fit for purpose or that it contains no flaws,
vulnerabilities or issues which could cause technical problems or the complete loss of GRPM Tokens.
C. Regulatory risks
The Blockchain technology, including but not limited to the issue of tokens, may be a new concept in some
jurisdictions, which may then apply existing regulations or introduce new regulations regarding Blockchain
technology-based applications, and such regulations may conflict with the current GRPM Smart Contract
setup and GRPM Token concept. This may result in substantial modifications of the GRPM Smart Contract,
P a g e | 20
including but not limited to its termination and the loss of GRPM Tokens as well as a suspension or
termination of all GRPM Token functions.
D. Taxes.
Token holders may be required to pay taxes associated with the transactions involving GRPM Tokens. It
will be a sole responsibility of the token holders to comply with the tax laws of the relevant jurisdictions
and pay all required taxes.
E. Force Majeure.
GrowPayment performance may be interrupted, suspended or delayed due to force majeure
circumstances. For the purposes of this White Paper, force majeure shall mean extraordinary events and
circumstances which could not be prevented by GrowPayment and shall include: acts of nature, wars,
armed conflicts, mass civil disorders, industrial actions, epidemics, lockouts, slowdowns, prolonged
shortage or other failures of energy supplies or communication service, acts of municipal, state or federal
governmental agencies, other circumstances beyond GrowPayment control, which were not in existence
at the time of Token sale. If such circumstances occur prior to issuance GRPM
Tokens and GrowPayment is unable to issue GRPM Tokens within 3 months from the projected date, the
escrow agent may issue a refund at the request of the GRPM Token purchasers. The refund will be issued
in the original form of payment to the same digital wallet or bank account where the funds were
transferred from.
F. Disclosure of information.
Personal information received from GRPM token holders, the information about the number of tokens
owned, the wallet addresses used, and any other relevant information may be disclosed to law
enforcement, government officials, and other third parties when GrowPayment is required to disclose
such information by law, subpoena, or court order. GrowPayment shall at no time be held responsible for
such information disclosure.
P a g e | 21
G. Value of GRPM Token.
Once purchased, the value of GRPM Token may significantly fluctuate due to various reasons.
GrowPayment does not guarantee any specific value of the GRPM Token over any specific period of time.
GrowPayment shall not be held responsible for any change in the value of GRPM Token. Assumptions with
respect to the foregoing involve, among other things, judgments about the future economic, competitive
and market conditions and business decisions, most of which are beyond the control of the GrowPayment
team and therefore difficult or impossible to accurately predict. Although the GrowPayment team
believes that its assumptions underlying its forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these may
prove to be inaccurate. As a result, the GrowPayment team can offer no assurances that the forward-
looking statements contained in this White Paper will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant
uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements contained herein, the inclusion of such
information may not be interpreted as a warranty on the part of GrowPayment or any other entity that
the objectives and plans of the GrowPayment project will be successfully achieved.
Please note that the GrowPayment project GRPM Token may be subject to other risks not foreseen by its
team at this time.

made by GrowPayment in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions
and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate, and are subject to risks
and uncertainties. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this whitepaper are based upon
what GrowPayment believes are reasonable assumptions, these risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and
other factors could cause GrowPayment’s actual results, performance, achievements, and experience to
differ materially from its expectations CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 53
expressed, implied, or perceived in forward-looking statements. Given such risks, prospective participants
in a Token Sale should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to those identified in the Token Sale terms and conditions. These
are not a definitive list of all factors associated with a making a contribution to GrowPayment, in
connection with its operations. GrowPayment undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking
statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this whitepaper. The Company’s business

is a risk that certain activities of the Company may be deemed in violation of any such law or regulation.
Penalties for any such potential violation would be unknown. Additionally, changes in applicable laws or
regulations or evolving interpretations of existing law could, in certain circumstances, result in increased
compliance costs or capital expenditures, which could affect GrowPayment’s profitability, or impede
GrowPayment’s ability to carry on the business model and the GRPM Tokens model proposed in this
whitepaper.
