Credit card processing that's easy to setup for Canadian (and international) businesses.

In order to accept credit cards you need a merchant account, and a payment gateway. We provide a complete solution that includes the merchant account and payment gateway, so that you'll receive everything needed to process credit cards online.

This includes e-commerce processing for your website, a virtual terminal so you can collect credit cards by phone (process them using your computer), online invoice payments, and recurring billing payments. It's a one-stop solution with complete coverage of all possible ways to process credit cards.

Payment Processing Rates

What is a merchant account?

A merchant account is required in order to process credit cards. It's a special type of bank account that is used to receive funds from credit card transactions.

Each time you process a credit card the money is moved from your customers Visa or Mastercard into your merchant account. The funds are then transferred from the merchant account into your bank account, on a daily or weekly basis.

How do I process payments?

You can collect payments online, by phone, or through an online invoice payment.

When people use their credit card, they don't often consider how the funds flow from a Visa or Mastercard account to the business. We provide the tools to collect the payment. This can be through a virtual terminal, an invoice payment page, or you can process e-commerce payments on your website.

Why does the merchant account make such a big difference in terms of processing costs?

Your merchant account provider will set the rates that you pay for each transaction processed.

Choosing the right provider is key to getting the lowest rates possible. The higher the volume of credit cards that you process, the more important lower processing fees become to your business. (Our low rates are something we take great pride in!)

We provide you with a payment gateway, which is one of the components of a credit card processing solution. Where the merchant account is used to receive and hold money, the payment gateway is the technical service that allows you submit a credit card transaction to be processed. An e-commerce website will send transaction requests to the payment gateway. It sounds complicated, but it's just the technical "thing" that you use, or that your website integrates into, in order to make transaction requests.

Although we provide a payment gateway as a part of our service, some merchants have a preferred payment gateway that they already want to use. For example, you might already be using a particular payment gateway and not want to make a change to your website. That is no problem because we support many popular payment gateway options such as NMI, or Authorize.net. If you already have an existing or preferred gateway you can continue using it, and we will simply provide the merchant account. This means you can get our lower rates, but won't need to make technical changes to your website. This helps to make implementing or migrating your payments to our processing service much easier.

You can be approved to begin processing in less than a week. We've worked with thousands of merchants in Canada over the past 21 years and have refined our application process to be as easy as possible.

You'll receive end-to-end support with a dedicated account manager as a central point of contact for help on any issue. Migrating to a new payment processor shouldn't have to be a challenge, and your dedicated representative will ensure the process is as easy and stress free as possible.

Simple and clear pricing contract icon. It's our belief that pricing should be simple, honest and easy to understand. We work constantly to educate merchants about interchange and are huge advocates for honest pricing. This is the foundational belief of our business, it's in our mission statement, and has remained that way since we first started providing merchant services more than 20 years ago.

If you have questions about discount rates, interchange, cross border fees, currency or foreign exchange fees (or anything related to the costs associated with online payments) don't hesitate to contact us.
