Our Role The Shopify Payments service (“Shopify Payments” or the “Payments Services”) is a: (i) payment account boarding; (ii) payment underwriting; and, (iii) payment data transmission service that helps you integrate with a payment processor (the “Processor”), as described more fully in this Agreement. The Payments Services may also apply to your use of point-of-sale equipment (“POS Equipment”), subject to availability and to your election to procure the same. You hereby appoint us as your agent to deliver information and instructions on your behalf to the Processor.
Under the separate Shopify Platform Terms of Service (the “Shopify Platform Terms”), Shopify Inc. provides you with its online storefront, shopping cart, store management, marketing, and other services (collectively, the “Shopify Platform Services”). The Shopify Platform Terms are incorporated herein by reference and by accepting this Agreement you are also accepting them.
Shopify Inc. is not a bank, payment institution, or money services business, but is instead a supplier of the Shopify Platform Services supplied under the Shopify Platform Terms and of the Payments Services under this Agreement.

The Processor The Processor is Stripe Payments Canada, Ltd., organized under the laws of British Columbia, which is a technical services provider and may offer the services as an agent of one or more financial institutions in Canada (each, a “Financial Services Provider”). The processing and settlement of Transactions (as defined below) (“Payment Processing”) is carried out by the Processor and any of the Financial Services Providers under a separate Stripe Connected Account Agreement, including the Canada Stripe Services Agreement and the applicable Financial Services Terms, and to the extent you use a payment method that is subject to additional terms, the Payment Terms (collectively, the “Processor Terms”). By accepting this Agreement, you are also accepting and agreeing to be bound by the Processor Terms, which is the legal agreement between you and the Processor.
Shopify is not a party to the Processor Terms and is not liable to you in respect thereof. By accepting this Agreement and the Processor Terms you are agreeing to the creation of an account with the Processor for Payment Processing (the “Processor Account”). We reserve the right to change the Processor, subject to the terms of our agreement with the Processor. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Processor Terms, this Agreement shall prevail, except in the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Processor Terms concerning Payment Processing or the Processor Account, in which case the Processor Terms shall prevail.
The Processor’s role is to accept and process credit card, debit card and other types of payments (collectively “Cards”) with respect to sales of your products and services through internet-based transactions (“Card Not Present Transactions" or “CNP Transactions”). If applicable, POS Equipment permits transmission of data to the Processor from in-person, point-of-sale transactions (“Card Present Transactions" or “CP Transactions”), as well as manually entered transactions (“Keyed Transactions”). CNP Transactions, CP Transactions and Keyed Transactions shall be referred to herein, collectively, as “Transactions”.
