Yeeld Launches Compliant Surcharging in Canada for Domestic and Cross-Border Merchants

CHICAGO, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yeeld, a leader in modern payments infrastructure, today announced the expansion of its surcharging capabilities to Canada across both its flagship products - YeeldPay and the Yeeld Surcharging API.

The launch enables Canadian merchants and businesses selling into Canada to automatically recover credit card processing fees while meeting all federal, provincial, and card-network requirements.

"With this launch, we're removing one of the most persistent challenges for merchants operating in Canada: the rising cost of credit card acceptance," said Mira Boora, Chief Operating Officer at Yeeld. "By automating compliance across provinces and networks, Yeeld enables merchants to recover fees seamlessly, without adding operational overhead or risk."

• Comprehensive coverage: Available via YeeldPay (hosted checkout page) and the Yeeld Surcharging API (for custom integrations)
• Cross-border support: Available to Canadian and U.S. companies processing payments from Canadian customers.
• Easy integrations: Works seamlessly with multiple payment processors for onboarding, processing, and reporting
• Real-time rule engine: Automatically updates Visa, Mastercard, and Amex rule changes, minimizing legal and operational overhead
