After taking into consideration numerous requests to accept credit card payments we have collaborated with a third party payment processor called Option Pay. They are an Alberta based company that processes credit card payments for a convenience fee.
Convenience Fees
- Fee Structure - https://www.optionpay.ca/tiered-rate-table.php
- These convenience fees go directly to Option Pay and the Town of Osoyoos receives your payment.
Please be aware that transactions can be refunded. However, if you require a transaction to be refunded after the day of payment, then your refund will only consist of the amount paid LESS the convenience fee. If you request a refund on the same day that the payment was made then the full amount will be refunded to your credit card. |
