The official payment method is Stripe subscription payment, administered by GCRI Canada.
Stripe may support credit card, debit card, and other payment methods depending on the jurisdiction, card network, currency, and Stripe’s available options at checkout.
Bank transfer may be accepted only case by case when permitted and needed. It is not the default method and should not be assumed available. Participants who require bank transfer should request approval through the official billing channel.
Payment records should clearly identify:
the individual participant;
the country pathway;
the subscription period;
the billing contact;
whether the payer is the participant, employer, sponsor, or another institution;
whether the payment is an individual subscription;
whether any separate institutional pathway exists.
Accepted payment methods are administrative channels. They do not determine status, authority, approval, access, or role appointment.
