# Canadian Vendors

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Overview</mark>

A PayCargo Canadian Vendor Account is a specialized receiving platform designed for Canadian-based logistics providers—such as freight forwarders, carriers, marine terminals, and warehouses—to collect payments from their customers electronically.

While a Payer account is for those *sending* money, the Vendor account is the destination for those funds. In Canada, this account is specifically optimized to handle Canadian Dollar (CAD) transactions and comply with local banking standards.

### <mark style="color:$primary;">How it Works</mark>

Vendors can complete a straightforward [registration process](https://app.paycargo.com/registerVendor) by providing their business and banking information. Once approved, vendors can begin receiving payments and issuing payment approval notifications immediately.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.paycargo.com/payments-and-finance/products/vendor-carrier-account/canadian-vendors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
