The cannabis industry has witnessed significant growth in recent years, and with it comes the need for reliable cashless payment solutions. In Canada, where credit card payments are widely accepted, Cova Pay has emerged as the leading payment processing solution for cannabis retailers. In this blog post, you’ll learn how Cova Pay stands out from the competition, as we shed light on the key benefits, technical capabilities, customer service, and reporting.
Cova Pay: Canada’s Best Cannabis Payment Processing Solution
Cova Pay is revolutionizing the cannabis payment experience by providing the first-ever payment solution that accepts all credit and debit cards in Canada. With an emphasis on delivering a superior consumer experience, faster transaction times, and end-to-end support, Cova Pay will boost profits and streamline operations for cannabis retailers.
- Technical Capability & Reliability: Cova Pay harnesses a modern and secure payment network, powering global retailers like Uber, McDonald's, Facebook, and Booking.com. This infrastructure ensures higher uptime and faster transaction times, reducing the risk of downtime and manual entry transactions associated with other payment solutions.
- Customer Support: Cova Pay prides itself on delivering legendary support. With an average wait time of less than 60 seconds and a customer satisfaction rate of 95%, Cova is readily available to assist retailers in resolving any issues. In contrast, other payment solutions have been criticized for poor customer service.
- Transparent Pricing: Transparent and predictable pricing is a crucial factor for cannabis retailers. Cova Pay adopts an industry-standard pricing model, offering a blended rate of 2.14% + 15c per transaction. Other companies tend to charge a margin of 0.2% - 0.35% on top of various merchant fees, leading to unexpected costs for retailers.
- Advanced Reporting: Cova Pay provides centralized reporting through its intuitive Cova Hub. Retailers can easily access comprehensive payment reports, gaining complete visibility into their revenue and transactions. In contrast, other payment solutions require retailers to access separate portals to retrieve data, resulting in a more cumbersome and time-consuming process.
- Launch/Setup Time: Efficiency is of utmost importance when it comes to deploying payment solutions. Cova Pay offers an impressively fast deployment time, allowing existing customers to start using the service within 48 hours of applying.
