about us

Hey there, we’re Paystone

At Paystone, we believe that getting paid should be effortless. We also know that great businesses don’t just process payments, they grow through them. That’s why our payment solutions go beyond transactions to help you attract, retain, and engage customers.

Helping Canadian businesses get paid and grow

We started in London, Ontario, and have since grown into one of Canada’s leading payment processors.

to process over $10 billion annually.

Whether it’s seamless payments, automated customer engagement, or reputation marketing, we help businesses like yours turn everyday transactions into meaningful customer relationships and long-term growth.

Or, as we like to call it, “customer-driven growth”!

Our journey from startup to industry leader

We started with a simple idea: give businesses a better way to accept payments. Fast-forward to today, and we’re
helping businesses across Canada increase revenue, improve customer loyalty, and grow their brands.
