Your processor should do more than just take.
You pay so much in processing fees. Wouldn't it be great if you actually got something back? Dough is the first Canadian processor that hands you a website, social media, AI tools, or a free terminal — based on what you process. Lower rates. Built-in growth. No briefcase, just a coffee and a chat.

Tell us a little about you. We'll get back within one business day with a no-pressure look at what you'd save and what Boost perks you'd qualify for.
Most processors take. They never give back.
You sign up for a "low rate." A few months later, the rates creep up. The statements get fuzzier. The fees pile on. And you're back on the same hamster wheel — calling around, comparing rates, switching processors, doing it all again next year. Sound familiar?
- Bait-and-switch rates that climb every quarter
- Statements designed to confuse, not inform
- Fees with names you've never heard of
- Zero help growing the business they're profiting from
- You don't get to pick your pricing model — they pick for you
Three things every other processor refuses to do.
We didn't build Dough to shave a few pennies off your rate. We built it to flip the relationship between processor and business owner. Here's what that actually means.
Fees that drop, or disappear.
Three pricing models — surcharge, interchange-plus, or flat rate. You pick. We don't push you onto whatever pays us most. Some merchants pay zero in processing because the surcharge covers it. Others get rates so low they cancel half their old "fees" outright.
The Boost Program.
Based on your processing volume, you get a free website, monthly social media content, custom AI tools, or a free terminal. The bigger you grow, the more we hand back. No other processor in Canada gives you this. Period.
You get a real human.
You won't be ticket #4172 in a Mumbai call queue. You'll have someone who picks up the phone, walks into your shop, and actually understands your business. We're a Canadian crew. We process for everyone from auto shops to retail to trades. We answer when you call.
Free stuff. Based on what you process.
You're already paying processing fees. Why shouldn't you get something back? Dough Boost gives every merchant a website, social media, AI tools, or a Google review card — based on monthly card volume. Every tier includes a free Google review card. Always.
- 1-page website (hosting $50/mo)
- 1 month of social content (FB + IG, graphics + copy)
- Custom GPT built for your business
- Free Google review card included
- Free 5-page website (hosting included)
- OR free monthly social (8 posts) + free Custom GPT
- Free Google review card included
- Free 7-page website (hosting included)
- OR free monthly social (12 posts) + free Custom GPT
- Free Google review card included

See the full Boost program →Three ways to pay. You pick.
Every other processor decides for you. We show you the math on all three, and the merchant picks whichever puts more money back in their pocket. No tricks, no upgrades pushed by "your account manager."
Pay zero in processing.
The customer covers the 2.4% on credit cards. You bank the full ticket. Set up correctly and legally — most processors won't bother showing you how. We do.
Lowest possible rate, no markup tricks.
You pay the wholesale interchange (set by Visa/Mastercard) plus a transparent markup we set per business. No "non-qualified" buckets, no padded categories. Just real cost plus a small spread.
Beats Stripe, Square, and PayPal online.
Simple, predictable, and lower than the big online platforms. Same rate for any card, any transaction. No statement headaches. Built for online and card-not-present businesses.
Not sure which model fits? We'll run the numbers on your last statement — free.
