Did you know we take credit cards? This nifty little device called Payd turns our phones into card readers! Early on in setting up our business, we knew we wanted to be able to process credit card payments to give our customers more payment options. However it became one of those details that slipped through the cracks and less than two weeks to go before, a move a customer asked if we take credit cards. Oops! I frantically Googled and found a few options, then started to look at reviews. I thought we could use Paypal and set up an account, only to find that the Paypal card reader was not yet available in Canada. I looked at another well known option, but had some concerns with how their payment transfers worked. Finally, I went back to basics, got on the phone and called our bank. The super helpful folks at RBC Small Business Banking connected me with someone at Moneris and sure enough they had an option that would sync with our banking, AND could be ready to go in less than a week. We've been so happy to have Payd as an option to offer our customers, and it's just a fun piece of technology to play with!
