Vendara for WooCommerce POS
Vendara's Canadian payment processing through the Oliver POS register.
Powered through the Vendara WooCommerce Payments plugin — install it on WordPress, configure under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, and Oliver picks it up at the register automatically.
How Vendara works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
Vendara is a Canadian merchant-services provider focused on independent retailers. Oliver POS uses Vendara's WooCommerce gateway plugin and opens its hosted checkout in the in-POS browser view, so the same Vendara account powers your online store and the counter.
Why Canadian shops pick Vendara with Oliver POS
Vendara publishes interchange-plus pricing transparently — a meaningful contrast with the bundled-rate model most Canadian merchant accounts ship by default. For WooCommerce retailers running both an online store and a brick-and-mortar counter, the same Vendara merchant account covers both surfaces when paired with Oliver POS.
Interac debit is a first-class method on Vendara — important in Canada, where Interac still moves a large share of in-person payment volume. Oliver POS picks up whichever methods you have enabled on the Vendara WooCommerce plugin and surfaces them on the register's payment screen.
How the integration runs at the counter
The cashier rings the sale, taps the Vendara tile on the payment screen, and Oliver opens Vendara's hosted checkout in the in-POS browser view. The customer enters their card or taps for Interac; Vendara confirms; Oliver writes the order to WooCommerce and prints the receipt. The Vendara dashboard handles settlement, payouts, and reporting — Oliver doesn't touch the money flow.
