Vancouver, British Columbia - 3 June, 2026 - TheNewswire - FintechWerx International Software Services Inc. (CSE: WERX) (“FintechWerx” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that EMTWerx 2.0, now including a Shopify Payment Extension, is complete and available to Shopify merchants today. Merchants can sign up here: GetFTWPay.com .

The submission to Shopify for inclusion of EMTWerx in its Shopify App Store is now underway. If approved, EMTWerx 2.0 will be available for download directly from the Shopify App Store.

The extension is designed to provide eCommerce merchants with access to automated Interac e-Transfer functionality as an additional payment acceptance option. The solution is targeted to Canadian businesses and for merchants outside Canada seeking to serve Canadian consumers, through a payment method that is widely recognized and trusted across the country.

In addition to automated Interac e-Transfer functionality, the extension is designed to connect merchants to the broader PaymentWerx platform, including payment processing, merchant management, reporting, reconciliation, and related payment services.

Shopify represents one of the largest e-commerce ecosystems in Canada and globally. According to Shopify's 2025 Annual Report, the platform supports millions of merchants across more than 175 countries, including a significant Canadian merchant presence.1 Shopify merchants generated Gross Merchandise Volume ("GMV") of US$74.8 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, reflecting the scale of commerce conducted through the platform.2 The Company believes the size of the Shopify ecosystem highlights the opportunity for payment solutions designed specifically for Canadian merchants and for businesses seeking to serve Canadian consumers through trusted domestic payment methods.

Extending automated Interac e-Transfer capability to Shopify and other merchant platforms is a strategic opportunity to expand the reach of PaymentWerx, according to George Hofsink, Co-Founder and CEO of FintechWerx.

“EMTWerx 2.0 was built around a simple objective: giving Canadian merchants payment options that reflect how Canadian consumers already prefer to pay,” says Hofsink. “Interac is foundational to everyday commerce in Canada and remains one of the country's most trusted payment methods. This extension creates a pathway to bring automated Interac e-Transfer functionality into Shopify and other e-commerce environments.”

The completion of EMTWerx 2.0 expands the range of payment environments supported by PaymentWerx and reflects the Company's strategy of connecting payment infrastructure, merchant services, onboarding, identity verification, fraud mitigation, and data analytics through an integrated technology ecosystem.
