Understand what you are comparing.

StartupCanada combines service delivery and POS reseller assessment. A payment provider may play a different role in your operating setup.

TD Merchant Solutions at a glance

TD Merchant Solutions offers in-person and mobile payment equipment and related payment services. A merchant considering a provider relationship alongside specific Canadian device and payment requirements.

StartupCanada’s approach

Our website, marketing, and reseller teams can coordinate a service plan. GrowthPass adds a defined benefit for eligible processing customers. The final provider and equipment arrangement must be confirmed.

When staying may make sense

If your existing setup meets your needs and its total costs and terms remain suitable, a change may offer little benefit. StartupCanada can also scope website or marketing work independently.

Compare the proposal on equal terms.

This is a buying framework, not a claim that one option is cheaper for every business.

Software & operations

Compare the exact device and application; not every TD option has the same capabilities or commercial terms. Test the transactions that matter to your business, including refunds, permissions, and any online or inventory connection.

Total cost

Use the same volume, transaction count, card mix, and channels. Include hardware, subscriptions, fixed fees, implementation, taxes, and any cancellation or renewal costs.

Service delivery

Distinguish a software feature from done-for-you work. Ask who builds the website, creates content, trains staff, and handles support, and what each service actually includes.

Transition effort

Review data export, existing equipment obligations, supported integrations, training, and a fallback plan. A lower estimated monthly cost does not remove migration work.

A practical decision process.

Bring your actual requirements and current arrangement to the conversation.

List your essentials

Document the functions your team cannot lose and the problems you want to solve. Separate critical requirements from optional preferences.

Request written terms

Compare the full agreement and an itemised proposal. Verify time-limited offers and the cost or service changes when an offer ends.

Choose a useful next step

Keep the current arrangement, improve a standalone service, or request a coordinated GrowthPass assessment. Our recommendation should explain the trade-offs for your business.
