How to Pay
We have updated our system to use Zeffy for payment, which you can PAY HERE by selecting the appropriate classification and region, and paying via Credit Card or Pre-authorized Debit. It’s easy and free for Cider Canada / Cidre Canada payment using this system, and it saves on cost by selecting your amount.
*** IMPORTANT IF PAYING BY ZEFFY ***
Zeffy automatically attempts to have you pay fees, you can avoid this by setting the amount to zero and not selecting to pay half of the fee. See the image below, we cannot refund any fees covered this way.
If you wish to pay via e-transfer, info@cidercanada.ca, by cheque: Cider Canada / Cidre Canada – 321 Gardner Street, Vanier, ON K1L 8K6.
Note that any investments will be held against future dues. For example, if your dues are $300, and you invest $900, we will still invoice you the $300 in 2026, however, if you choose not to pay, we will deduct it from your “balance”. This gives flexibility for the producers and helps the association get started
