Setup PSIGate for Canadian$ or US$ credit card processing for Canadian residents

Canadian residents can do real time online credit card processing in Canadian dollars or US dollars using PSiGate, which is integrated with your shopping cart.

Yellow Warning You cannot charge in both US and Canadian dollars within the same site so you may only choose one currency.

To set up payment processing with PSiGate.com, you'll need to create an account with PSiGate.com. If you already have a merchant account, you're able to register for a PSiGate payment gateway account only instead of both a merchant account and payment gateway account.
