Thanks Supra for suggesting this special PayPal Merchant rates promo.

You need to have $3000 in sales in any previous month to qualify. Although PayPal state sthat you must maintain this level they usually don’t enforce that rule.

If you receive at least $3,000 CAD for three consecutive months (or the equivalent thereof), you are eligible to apply for our Merchant Rate through a one-time application process. Once approved, your fees will be automatically adjusted at the beginning of each calendar month based on the volume you received in the previous calendar month.

You must maintain the volume requirements to continue receiving our Merchant Rate, however, you will not need to apply again if you fail to meet the volume requirements in a given month, but should meet them again in a subsequent month.

To apply for the Merchant Rate:
Log in to your Paypal account

1. Select “Fees” at the bottom of the page.
2. In the”Premier/Business Account” column, click on “1.9% + $0.30 CAD to 2.9% + $0.30 CAD”
3. Click “Merchant Rate Criteria” near the bottom of the page.
4. Click “apply now” at the bottom of the page.
5. Fill out the Merchant Rate application.
