Cova launches ‘Cova Pay’, a modern payment solution for Canadian retailers

By Delisha Fernandes

Cova Software, a provider of cannabis retail software, announced the launch of Cova Pay in Canada, a modern payment processing solution for cannabis stores.

Cova Pay integrates seamlessly with Cova Point of Sale, enabling cannabis retailers to accept and process debit and credit card payments directly through the POS provider, eliminating the need for third-party payment contracts.

Setting the new industry standard for speed and reliability, Cova Pay runs on the same technology infrastructure that processes over $1.2 trillion in transactions annually, trusted by some of North America’s most high-volume consumer businesses. This, combined with industry-leading POS uptime, ensures Cova retailers can process payments when it matters most, quickly, consistently, and with strict security.

“The support I’ve had from Cova is unparalleled, and I attribute a significant part of our success to that,” said Helene Vassos, founder and CEO of Ontario-based Canvas Cannabis. “Cova is more than just POS software; its retail management tools help Canvas stay on top of everything. No other company comes even close.”

“As Cova evolves, our mission to simplify the complex and commitment to reliability remain the foundation,” said Gary Cohen, CEO of Cova Software. “As the Canadian cannabis market has matured, retailers have exposed the need for a next-level payment solution that isn’t glitchy, failure-prone, or difficult when resolving issues. We couldn’t be more excited to present Cova Pay as a better, modern solution, eliminating the hassle of working with unreliable third-party payment providers.”

Cova Pay for Canada is the latest addition to Cova Software’s suite of cannabis retail solutions, which most recently included the launch of eCommerce. Cova has become a one-stop shop for essential cannabis retail software and continues expanding its partner integrations network.
