Do you support Interac Debit in Canada and Visa/Mastercard in the USA?

Yes. In Canada we support Interac Debit and contactless payments (Interac Flash, Apple Pay, Google Pay) depending on configuration. In the USA we support Visa/Mastercard acceptance and can set up terminals, virtual terminal, and payment links based on your needs.
