Payment Processing Solutions in Calgary

Because payment processing is a technology problem as much as a financial one. The biggest frustration Calgary businesses face is payment systems that do not integrate with their POS, accounting software, or ERP. AltaCom approaches payment processing from a technology-first perspective — we evaluate processors based on how well they integrate with your existing stack, not just on rate. We also manage the relationship, the hardware, the integrations, and the support — so you have one call to make when something breaks.

Yes — this is one of the primary reasons Calgary businesses come to AltaCom for payment processing. Manual reconciliation between your payment processor and your accounting software costs your team hours every week and introduces errors. AltaCom implements payment solutions that post transactions automatically to your accounting system or ERP, eliminating manual data entry and giving you real-time visibility into your cash position.

AltaCom is vendor-agnostic. We work with a range of Canadian payment processors and evaluate them based on your industry, transaction volume, integration requirements, and preferred payment methods. We compare rates and total cost of ownership transparently, present you with options and our recommendation, and manage the entire setup. We do not take referral fees that bias our recommendations — we recommend what is right for your business.

Yes. AltaCom integrates payment processing with e-commerce platforms including Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom-built online stores. We also handle the PCI DSS compliance assessment for your online payment environment and ensure your customer card data is handled securely. For businesses running both physical and online sales, we implement unified payment solutions that consolidate reporting across channels.

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is the mandatory compliance framework for any business that accepts credit or debit card payments. Non-compliance can result in fines from card networks and increased liability in the event of a breach. AltaCom ensures every payment implementation is PCI DSS compliant by design — from terminal configuration to network segmentation to employee access controls. We also help clients complete their annual PCI self-assessment questionnaire.
