What is Clik2pay?
Clik2pay allows customers to pay directly from their bank account, based on the familiar and trusted Interac® e-Transfer service.
After selecting Clik2pay as the payment method, the customer chooses his or her bank directly with Interac. The purchase is conveniently populated with the amount to be paid, the merchant/organization name and any desired messaging. The customer logs in to their bank and confirms payment.
For the merchant, the payment is confirmed in real-time and final (i.e. no chargebacks).
