Any Canadian Mobile Phone Credit Card Payment Systems Available?

We use one called virtual merchant (I think it may have been changed to converge) It's sorta a two part process for setting up I do believe (not too sure - boss was the one who set it up). Works well, we can accept visa, mastercard, and discovery cards, can do pre-auths. etc.
Here is the websites if you want to look into it more:
https://www.myvirtualmerchant.com/VirtualMerchant/#_self
This one is for the processing interface
https://www.merchantconnect.com/CWRWeb/displayMemberLogin.do
This one is I believe the one that actually processes the cards
If you track down a contact number I would give them a call.
Hope this helps... This is the only one I've seen other than the "square" but I've heard some pretty bad things about square.

Thanks. I will look into this^.
As far as square goes, I tried to apply, the application gave me an error (even though I am sure I filled it out correctly) then it said because I was rejected, I was banned for life from using their service...
I'm not too sure about Square, never looked into it much but from my readings a lot of people have had issues with it. As far as application and being banned... seems sketchy. I would keep an eye on your whatever information that you used on the application. Unfortunately there are a lot of scam artists out there doing exactly stuff like that.

Interesting... I didn't realize paypal had a mobile reader type thing.... For anyone else looking at this now here's the website...
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/credit-card-reader
Not sure if the service is in Canada yet though... will take a read through.

Yeah - we've been using PayPal for years. Got really excited when they announced their mobile reader. Inquired, and was told they'd let us know as soon as it was available to Canucks. I think it's been a couple of years now
It was Square Up that I set up the account and they said because I made an error in setting it up I would never be able to use their service.
I checked I still have the account, I can log on, my bank account was verified but when I try to bill out it says I need to activate my account.
When I click on activate it just goes back to the main page...

Check here they use Clover products: http://www.smallbusinessmerchantservice.com/canadian-credit-card-processing/
We switched from Square to Clover from First Data.
Why? Because it is through my local bank and a rep actually came to my shop. A real live walking talking human being! If I have any issues I have two options for resolution. Good luck getting that level of service from Square.
Clover also costs less. I pay 2.39% + 5 cents per transaction. So far so good.

I use one called Payd www.getpayd.com and is good because it takes credit card payments but also debit cards something square cant do. It is a mobile phone app that connects to a small keypad via bluetooth. I have used it for a while now and never had any issues with it, I accept a payment and the next day its in my bank account. I believe that debit payments are free and the credit card isnt that much, I cant remember off the top of my head but wasn't much. I would look into that, I dont think you would be dissapointed since there arent many options here in Canada
Interesting... Thank you for showing me this option. I see they have a limit of $5k per month, and over that they will withhold payments... Also the debit card plan costs $20 per month on top of the fees for processing.
Does Square Up have limits? I got an answer to my email, and they are giving me one more chance to fill out the forms and verify my account. The one thing they are suggesting I give them is my Social Insurance Number. I never give this out to anyone..., I don't feel comfortable to giving it to a company from another country, but it might be the only way to go here.
