Payment Gateway Setup

Get Paid Online, Properly

Taking payments online should be simple. Customer pays, money lands in your account, books balance. But between gateway configurations, tax codes, test modes, and webhook callbacks, it's easy to end up with a setup that sort of works but causes headaches down the road.

We set up your payment gateway correctly the first time. Stripe, Moneris, or PayPal integrated into your website or Odoo, with Canadian tax codes configured properly and everything reconciling the way it should.

What's Included

Gateway Account Configuration We configure your payment processor account settings, API keys, and security options for production use.

Website or Odoo Integration Your payment gateway connected to your platform, whether that's an Odoo e-commerce store, a custom website, or an invoicing system.

Canadian Tax Setup HST, GST, PST, and QST configured correctly by province. No more manual tax calculations or compliance guesswork.

Test Transactions We run test payments through the system to verify everything works before you go live. Successful charges, failed charges, refunds.

Webhook Configuration Automatic notifications when payments succeed, fail, or get disputed. Your system stays in sync with your payment processor.

Documentation A clear guide to how your setup works, where to find things, and how to handle common scenarios.

Supported Payment Processors

Stripe The developer-friendly option. Great API, transparent pricing, excellent for subscriptions and complex billing. We've integrated Stripe across dozens of projects.

Moneris Canada's largest payment processor. If you already have a Moneris merchant account or your bank set you up with one, we can integrate it.

PayPal Still popular with customers who don't want to enter card details. We can add PayPal as a payment option alongside your primary gateway.

Not sure which one to use? We can advise based on your transaction volume, business type, and existing banking relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a merchant account already? Not necessarily. Stripe doesn't require a traditional merchant account. For Moneris, you'll need one, and we can help you through the application process.

What about PCI compliance? Modern payment integrations use tokenization, meaning card numbers never touch your servers. This significantly reduces your PCI scope. We set things up the secure way by default.

Can you set up recurring billing? Yes. Subscription and recurring payment setup is included if you need it.

What if I already have a payment gateway but it's not working right? We can audit and fix existing setups. Same price applies.

Do you support other gateways? We've worked with many processors over the years. If you have a specific requirement, ask us.
