DirectPay payment processing is powered by industry leader Authorize.Net. Canadian merchants can also sign up for an account through us, though the process is somewhat different. Review the requirements below to prepare before starting your application.

  • Verify your business trade name

    Show that your business trade name matches your website name. Include a screenshot of your homepage.

  • Include a sample product page

    Include a screen print of your product page so we can confirm sufficient description of the goods or service is provided

  • Demonstrate your site is secure
