Managed payment methods
Understand why available payment methods can vary by market, account, and transaction.
Managed payment methods are shown only when the account, customer, currency, and transaction meet the required conditions. A method can be supported in one market and still be unavailable for a specific merchant, currency, or payment flow.
What controls availability
- Merchant eligibility and completed account verification.
- Enabled provider capabilities and payment method settings.
- Customer country and payment method requirements.
- Transaction currency, amount, and checkout or invoice context.
- Market coverage and current provider source date.
Canada-first method candidates to review
| Method group | Source-backed availability signal | Getme status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cards | Most currencies, most business locations, and most customer locations. | needs-review | Review Getme account capability and checkout/payment flow before changing the row status. |
| Link | Business location includes Canada; customer country is listed as most locations. | needs-review | Review whether Link is enabled for Getme payment flows and saved-method behavior. |
| Apple Pay / Google Pay | Wallet support depends on wallet-supported locations, device, card, currency, and payment flow. | needs-review | Treat as wallet eligibility, not broad availability. |
| Pre-authorized debit in Canada | CAD and USD; business location Canada or United States; customer country Canada. | needs-review | Review mandate flow, checkout support, and recurring/payment flow fit. |
| Affirm | CAD and USD; business and customer locations include Canada and United States. | needs-review | Do not enable or advertise until Getme decides whether BNPL is in scope. |
| Afterpay / Clearpay | Supported currencies include CAD; business and customer locations include Canada. | needs-review | Do not enable or advertise until Getme decides whether BNPL is in scope. |
| Klarna | Supported currencies include CAD; business location includes Canada; customer country includes Canada. | needs-review | Do not enable or advertise until Getme decides whether BNPL is in scope. |
| Alipay / WeChat Pay | Business location includes Canada for eligible contexts; customer scope is Chinese consumers, overseas Chinese, or Chinese travelers. | needs-review | Use only if the customer and transaction context match the provider requirements. |
| Other local methods | Some foreign local methods list Canada as an allowed business location while the customer country is elsewhere. | source-backed, country-dependent | Move to a separate local payment methods article before publishing method-specific claims. |
| PayPal | CAD appears as a supported currency, but Canada was not listed as a business location in the checked provider table. | not-currently-supported | Requires separate provider and Getme review before any Canada support claim. |
Before showing a method to customers
Review whether the method is enabled for the merchant account and supported for the customer context. If a method needs review, keep checkout and support copy generic until the market, currency, and account capability are checked.
Avoid promising that every customer will see the same payment methods. Availability can change by market, device, currency, account status, and provider rules.
