Why pay more when you can pay 0%?

Your current processor may be taking more from every sale than you realize. Here's a typical $10,000 month, side by side.

How 0% works

Surcharging, done by the book.

"0%" isn't a gimmick — it's a compliant surcharge program that's been legal across Canada since 2022. Here's exactly how it works.

Read the full 0% explanation →
01

A small, visible card fee

Customers paying by credit card see a clearly displayed fee at checkout — capped at the legal maximum. It's printed on signage and the receipt, so nothing is hidden.

02

Customers keep the choice

Anyone can avoid the fee by paying with debit, Interac, or cash. Your listed prices never change — the surcharge only applies to credit.

03

You keep 100%

The card cost no longer comes out of your margin. CorePay configures the terminals, supplies the signage, and keeps the whole setup compliant for you.

*0% credit‑card processing is available to qualifying merchants through an eligible payment program. It works through compliant surcharging where permitted (generally outside Quebec), with advance notice, a maximum 2.4% surcharge, and disclosure at the entrance, point of sale and on the receipt. Debit and Interac are not surcharged, and the fee is shown before payment and avoidable with debit or cash, so listed prices remain attainable. Program structure, equipment eligibility, card types and terms may vary; eligibility is confirmed during your free statement review.

Built for your business

Configured for the way you get paid.

From a $4 coffee to a $4,000 repair invoice, CorePay is set up around your floor — not a generic default.

Owner stories

What CorePay merchants actually say.

Real results from businesses that stopped overpaying. (Sample stories shown — swap in your own client quotes.)

We were losing close to $900 a month in fees and didn't even know it. The switch took a week, the terminal was free, and now that money stays in the business.

Café ownerToronto, ON

Setup was painless and the team walked through my old statement line by line. I finally understand what I was actually paying for.

Salon ownerMississauga, ON

Big repair invoices used to mean big fees. Now I keep 100% and my customers don't blink at the card option.
