Payment processing refers to the technology and services that enable businesses to accept credit and debit card payments. When a customer pays with a card, the payment processor securely transfers funds from the customer’s bank to the business’s account. With Paystone, transactions are encrypted, fast, and deposited as soon as the next business day.

The best payment processing company depends on your business needs. Look for a provider with transparent pricing, no long-term contracts, fast deposits, and great customer reviews. Whether you need an in-person payment terminal, an online payment gateway, or a full POS system, Paystone offers flexible, competitive solutions designed for Canadian businesses. If you’re still not sure, our product specialists are more than happy to help you out.

A good payment processor for small businesses should offer affordable rates, simple setup, and reliable support. Paystone provides next-day funding, no hidden fees, and dedicated customer service, making it one of the top-rated payment processors in Canada.

A payment processor facilitates transactions by moving funds between the customer and the merchant’s bank. A payment gateway is a secure technology that authorizes online transactions. Paystone offers payment processing and online payment solutions, so businesses can easily accept payments online, in-person, or remotely.

Processing fees vary depending on the provider and the type of transaction. Paystone offers competitive, transparent rates with no hidden fees or long-term contracts. Our transaction fees include the interchange fees charged by the issuing bank, the card brand fees (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), and the acquiring bank fees, plus a small markup from Paystone. Your final rate depends on factors like processing volume, payment method, and card type.

With Paystone, you get next-business-day deposits, ensuring your cash flow stays steady. Unlike some payment processing platforms, we don’t hold funds unnecessarily or delay payouts.
