Retail Payment Processing in Ontario — Simple and Honest

Your shop deserves better than hidden fees and rate hikes. We provide Clover POS backed by transparent pricing and support that actually answers the phone.

The Difference

A Better Way to Process Payments

See exactly how True North POS solves the headaches most independent retailers tolerate every day.

The Industry Standard

Your rates aren't what you were quoted.

The number on your statement is something else entirely. Processing fees for retail businesses often come loaded with surcharges, assessments, and "miscellaneous" line items that weren't in the conversation when you agreed to work.

The True North Way

Transparent pricing you can actually read.

We use Interchange+ pricing, which means every line on your statement maps to a real, named cost. You see exactly what you pay and exactly what we earn. No teaser rates that quietly climb after 90 days, no invented service charges.

The Industry Standard

There's no one to call who actually knows your account.

You call the number on the back of your contract and wait. Independent retail businesses in Ontario shouldn't have to fight their payment processor for basic service. You're not a number in a queue — you're a person running a shop.

The True North Way

Real people, real phone numbers.

When something goes wrong, you call us directly — on our cell phones. No hold music, no ticket numbers, no call centres. Three layers of backup, and the first one is always a person who knows your account.

The Industry Standard

Your setup was never quite right to begin with.

Your inventory doesn't sync accurately. Your online and in-store sales don't talk to each other. The Wi-Fi drops during busy periods. These are operational problems that cost you time and money every single day.

The True North Way

A setup that's done right from day one.

Before we install anything, we come to your store and do a full Wi-Fi and network survey — free of charge. We've got 20+ years of IT experience, and we use it to make sure your system is built on a foundation that won't let you down.

The Industry Standard

You're paying a cancellation fee to stay stuck.

Those contracts are designed to keep you in place even when the relationship or hardware isn't working. A retail payment processor that's confident in what they offer doesn't need to hold you hostage to keep your business.

The True North Way

Hardware that holds up. And local support when it doesn't.

Clover terminals are the latest commercial-grade hardware. Fast, intuitive tap-and-go payments that keep lines moving. If something ever goes wrong, you're not shipping a unit to a depot — next-day replacement is usually available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about retail payment processing in Ontario.

The most cost-effective model for most independent retailers is Interchange+ pricing. It charges the true wholesale rate plus a transparent, fixed margin, rather than a bundled flat rate that often hides extra profit for the processor.
