Payment service provider Clik2pay announced it has developed an “industry-changing” application that allows any Shopify store to seamlessly “offer a direct-from-account payment option to customers.”
The first business to use the new app on Shopify is popular eyewear company Ollie Quinn, which successfully “went live with Clik2pay this month.”
Ollie Quinn and other businesses are now able “to offer their customers an option to pay directly from their bank accounts instead of needing to rely on credit cards for their online purchases.”
When using Clik2pay, payments are “completed safely and securely using Interac e-Transfer™, one of the most trusted money transfer systems in the world.”
Clik2pay is the first in Canada “to deliver real-time payments to businesses that are completed easily and securely, directly from the customer’s own bank account.”
With Clik2pay, businesses can “increase their customer base by opening online payments to the millions of Canadians who don’t have credit cards, and reduce payment processing fees by up to 50 per cent.” Research data shows “that more than 40 per cent of Canadians prefer to pay from their bank account.”
Mike Bradley, Founder and CEO of Clik2pay, said:
“Customers love paying by debit card in-store. Now businesses can give them the same experience online by accepting Clik2pay. Adding the new Clik2pay app to a Shopify store is simple – and gives businesses a smooth, fast, and secure process to enable payment from all customers – not just the ones with credit cards.”
Merchants can start with Clik2pay on Shopify in three easy steps:
- Sign up for Clik2pay online

Clik2pay leverages bank-grade security and the highest standards “for risk management by using one of the most secure money transfer services globally.”
Clik2pay features for businesses “include easy-to-use APIs, end-to-end payment tracking, real-time notifications, status updates, and a complete settlement file.”
As noted in the update, Clik2pay is first in Canada “to deliver real-time payments to businesses directly from customer bank accounts.”
Clik2pay is “led by a team with deep business and technology expertise in payments, retail, and digital banking.”
