Häufige Fragen
Do I need to provide French content for all of Canada?
Only required by law for Quebec, but providing French content nationally is appreciated. Quebec has strict language laws - French must be prominent on packaging and marketing for that market.
What payment methods are popular in Canada?
Credit/debit cards are universal. PayPal is popular. Interac Online is uniquely Canadian. Buy now, pay later (Paybright, Sezzle) is growing.
How do shipping expectations differ in Canada?
Canadians expect fast shipping but understand geographic challenges. Free shipping over a threshold is common. Be transparent about duties and cross-border shipping times.
