COVA PAY CANADA
Fast, reliable payment processing for Canadian cannabis stores.
Better cannabis payments, built into Cova POS.
Cannabis payments should work as part of your retail system, not around it. Cova Pay fully integrates cannabis payment processing with the award-winning POS Canadian retailers already trust, so every sale, payment, payout, and report connects automatically.
The result is faster checkout, fewer manual errors, cleaner reconciliation, centralized reporting, and support from the same team that knows your POS. With built-in fraud prevention and chargeback rates as low as 0.01%, Cova Pay gives cannabis retailers a smoother way to accept payments—and a better way to close the day.

"We were having a lot of issues with our previous payment processor, the biggest one being constant delays. We ended up learning about Cova Pay—we were already using Cova for our POS software. We integrated it, it’s worked amazing and a heck of a lot faster."
Randy Tingskou
Owner - A Little Bud Cannabis
"Before Cova Pay, fraud settings were choking our checkout — 1 in 3 orders were getting cancelled. We lost $56K in sales to avoid $1,300 in chargebacks. Switching to Cova Pay was night and day: AVS issues basically disappeared, and we’ve had one chargeback since."
Mike Dunn
Co-Founder, 1922 Cannabis
"Having Cova Pay and POS on one platform makes such a difference. It’s one system, one support team, and quick resolutions."
Calvin Isakson
Managing Director, 5buds Cannabis
"Cova Pay saves us thousands of dollars per year. By no longer having to manually enter the sales amount into a non-integrated payment terminal, we now have minimal inventory loss due to human error."
