It seems that all the payment gateways that I can find are limited to  
the US (braintreegateway, [authorize.net](http://authorize.net)).

What do you guys use if you are located in Canada? I would prefer  
payment gateways that are included in ActiveMerchant.

Thanks.

I haven’t used any… but a quick google search gave me  
[http://www.optimalpayments.ca/](http://www.optimalpayments.ca/) as the first result.

You could try going through your bank, but it could be a pricey  
proposition.

My understanding is that ActiveMerchant supports(or someone has  
released a patch for) TD (OnlineMart.ca)

We’ll be tackling this story this summer - I’d appreciate what you  
learn Chris.

I have found a few by searching as well, but the results are places  
that I have never heard of or been able to find reviews on.

After checking out the activemerchant site I found they have a list of  
the supported merchants, so that is a start.

Thanks

As I mentioned it would be nice to have the service included in the  
ActiveMerchant plugin
