Tender Type Policy & Application

The default Tender Type for new Grocery Stores, Convenience Stores and Wine Boutiques is to pay by credit card when orders are placed through LCBO’s online order management system.  

Additional Tender Types, such as debit, may also be added at LCBO’s discretion. For LCBO to consider extending a Payment Term to eligible wholesale customers, they must apply for this benefit and, if approved by LCBO Finance, all policy requirements must be met to maintain it.
