Scroll through the payment record

Make the expensive order the easy yes

Fees should not rise endlessly with your best sales.

The higher the order value, the clearer the conversation: reward the customer for using bank payment and keep the rest of the upside.

Your cap becomes the story

Margin recovery rises with order value.

North Rail, plainly

Questions worth answering before you change a payment flow.

The short version of what North Rail is, where it fits, and how its capped-fee model works.

What is North Rail?

North Rail helps Canadian merchants offer capped-fee bank payments for high-value orders while keeping the payment, order, fee, refund, and settlement record connected.

How do North Rail's payment fees work?

Each North Rail plan combines a percentage and fixed transaction fee with a minimum and a hard cap. The cap keeps the transaction fee from continuing to grow with order value; monthly platform fees, where applicable, are separate.

Which payments are a good fit for North Rail?

North Rail is designed for high-value ecommerce orders, payment links, invoices, deposits, wholesale transactions, and repeat purchases where payment costs matter most.

Does North Rail replace every card checkout?

No. North Rail is designed to add a bank-payment option where its economics are strongest, rather than claiming to replace every card payment flow.

Built deliberately

North Rail is building bank payments with a provider-led, risk-aware rollout—not making promises that payment infrastructure cannot keep.
