Computer parts like CPUs and almost everything else. Almost all digital services. Credit card payment systems. A marketplace like Amazon or Temu. A store that sells MP3s or similar digital music. Most household generic bulk goods (excluding premium categories).
To be fair my definitions can be a bit strict compared to others. For example I’d include foreign brands with some assembly in Canada as being foreign for my personal tastes.
"Credit card payment systems." Interac (if you have the cash to spend at the time) "A marketplace like Amazon or Temu." Mavenfair.ca is a recent start-up in BC with a wholly Canadian product line FBM (fulfilled by merchant).
Absolutely yes. However there are many cases where credit is the only option, for example parking garages, most cases where a deposit is needed like a rental car or hotel, or almost anything online.
If Interac was ubiquitous then it would solve my use case but in my understanding of the economics involved; the credit system is uniquely good for some applications
This is a neat looking site! It feels more boutique to me, but maybe it will evolve into something more general eventually. Thanks for the tip
