Payment needs shift for Canadian merchants

The sponsored post says Canada has 1.10 million employer businesses, of which 98.2% are small businesses, citing Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
The article says small business owners are also facing pressure from higher costs and trade tensions between Canada and the U.S. It cites Merchant Growth’s 2026 Canadian Small Business Report as saying 38% of affected businesses report higher costs for goods and supplies, 27% report lower revenues, and 23% say they absorb higher costs because they cannot raise prices.
Consumer payment behavior is also changing, with mobile contactless payments rising 40% year over year, according to the post. It says merchants risk losing sales if preferred payment methods are not available, increasing pressure on businesses to offer flexible checkout options.
