Excerpt

As a registered Payment Facilitator in Canada, Payrix must comply with the requirements of the Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry in Canada (referred to as the “Code”). As a Partner to Payrix you will be required to help us comply with some of the Code requirements as you are the merchant facing entity that directly communicates with the merchant.

...

As a part of Partners serving Canadian Merchants, it is also your responsibility to provide each merchant with a monthly statement showing the following information:

  • Card Type* - MasterCard Credit, Visa Credit, MasterCard Debit, Visa Debit, American Express, or Discover

  • Number of Sales*

  • Gross Sales ($)*

  • Service Rate (%)* - Either a flat rate charged or applicable interchange rates for each card type.

  • Rate Fee (Rate * Gross Sale ($))*

  • Per Transaction Fee ($X.XX * Number of Sales ($))*

  • Total Fees (Rate Fee + Transaction Fee ($))

  • Effective Merchant Discount Rate (Total Fees/Gross Sales (%))*

    Required = *

It is recommended that you provide this information in a .CSV format so that your Merchants can easily view the information in Excel.

...

It is important to distinguish between customer communications that you should resolve, versus those that you should forward to Payrix for resolution.

Info

Code-Related Complaints– refer to issues or conduct identified with the platform that merchant believes is contrary to the Code.

Note

If you are ever unsure, please forward the customer inquiry to Payrix Support and Payrix can determine whether the communication constitutes a complaint.
