Step 3: Adding a payment method
In order to receive payments at the end of each month, you need to communicate your bank information or your Paypal information to Ottawa Artisans. Paypal transfers are free for me to process (as opposed to 0.80$ per bank wire transfers) so if you have a Paypal account, please prioritize this method of payment if possible as it will allow me to save on transaction fees!
You can share this information with me through three methods:
Method 1: Enter your banking information in your vendor portal.
- Navigate to the correct page.
Click on Profile and then Payment details.
Select between Bank Wire transfer or Paypal.
2. Enter the following information in the box.
For bank wire transfer:
Full name: Associated with the bank account (not your business name if your bank account is under your name!)
Bank name
Branch number (see cheque)
Institution number (see cheque)
Account number (see cheque)
For Paypal:
Enter the email address associated with your Paypal account.
Encryption security: Note that the information shared on the portal is maintained in a secured database and transmitted across the internet to you using secured transmission encryption. The portal provider follows accepted industry security standards to protect your personal information both during transmission and once they have received it.
In plain English: While you can see the information you enter in the payment portal, that information is not ‘’in the open’’ on the Internet. If someone breaks into the database where that information is stored, it is encrypted. NEVERTHELESS, you should use a strong password for the portal to ensure that no one can access your store. In case of a malicious attack on your computer, not only this portal information would be compromised but all the passwords on your devices as well as all the credit card information, online banking login, etc. you have entered. Your banking routing information is private information but cannot be used to purchase items over the internet like a credit number would.
As an added security measure: Once you have entered your banking information, you can send me an email at ottawaartisans.com to let me know it is in the portal. I will then collect it for payment and remove it from the portal which will give you an added level of security in case of a security breach on your personal devices.
Method 2: Communicate the Routing information by phone.
You can call me at 581-982-7061 to give me the routing information over the phone. This eliminates the need to transmit it over the internet.
Method 3: Send a void cheque at my mailing address.
Lastly, you can send me a void cheque or a bank routing information document available through your bank (most often found through your online portal and which can then be printed) at my physical mailing address. If you decide to use this method, please make sure to notify me by email so I know that it is en route.

Payment frequency
Vendor payouts are done on a monthly basis. Vendors are responsible to fulfill their orders on the platform before the last day of the month in order to receive the sales amount at the time of the payout. Payouts will be deposited in the vendor's prefered account within 7 buiness days of the end of the month. Any sales that are not fulfilled by the last day of the month will be carried to the following month for payout.
