How payments work at FreightSimple
We designed FreightSimple to make payments simpler. This page is your overview of how payments work, the methods available to you, and how to choose the right one for your business.
- Pay per shipment, no contracts. You pay only for what you ship. No monthly minimums, no annual commitments.
- Invoices generated at booking. Every invoice is created the moment you book a shipment, so you never wait weeks to chase them down after delivery.
- Pay from your bank or by card. Without Credit Terms, you pay at booking by credit card or Canadian Direct Debit. Established shippers can apply for Credit Terms to settle invoices later, including by EFT/ACH.
- Multiple methods on the same account. You can have several payment methods on file and pick which to use per shipment.
Shipping regularly? We recommend paying straight from your bank, with Canadian Direct Debit for CAD or EFT/ACH for USD and CAD. It's the simplest way to keep payments running, with no card to keep on file.

Credit card

Canadian Direct Debit
Recommended CADConnect your Canadian bank account and pay in CAD automatically at booking, with nothing to approve per invoice.
EFT/ACH
Recommended USD CADACH for USD invoices, EFT or Interac eTransfer for CAD. Ideal when you ship regularly.
Credit Terms
USD CADCredit Terms aren't a separate way to pay. They're an arrangement that lets established shippers settle invoices later, on NET 15 or NET 30 terms, using their usual payment method. Set up by approval after a quick conversation with our team.
