London businesses are paying too much in processing fees — and getting nothing back from the big banks and Square. Dough is a Canadian processor that lowers your rates AND reinvests our margin into your business. Free websites, free social content, real human support. From Byron to Masonville to Old East — we process for businesses across every neighbourhood.
Send us your last statement. We'll review it, run the numbers, and tell you straight what you'd save with Dough. No commitment, no pressure.
Dough is a Canadian payment processor based in Hamilton, Ontario — just down the 401. We serve London businesses the same way we serve every business across the country: real people, real conversations, lower fees, and a Boost program that gives back free websites and content based on your processing volume.
London's economy is its own beast. Health sciences and manufacturing keep the lights on. Western and Fanshawe pump in students and the businesses that serve them. Richmond Row, Wortley Village, and Old East have their own retail rhythms. The trades along Wonderland and Veterans Memorial are busy year-round.
We get how that mix works — and we have local references across the GTA, Hamilton, and Southwestern Ontario who switched and saved. When you call us, you get a real person who knows your business.
London's mix runs from health-science offices to manufacturing shops to Old East retail to professional services downtown. From Byron to Masonville — we process for shops, trades, and offices across every neighbourhood.
Mechanics and body shops across London — Wonderland, Wharncliffe, Adelaide. High tickets — surcharging math works perfectly.

See health and wellness pricing →Ron ran a transmission shop with high-ticket repairs. Chase had been creeping his rates for years. Statements were a mess. He couldn't tell what he was actually paying.
We were with Chase for years. Statements were a mess, fees kept creeping up. Switched to Dough and within a month I was saving real money. Plus they built our website for free.

What you get with the big four
What you get with us
Yes. We're a Canadian processor based in Hamilton, Ontario — about two hours east on the 401. We serve London businesses the same way we serve businesses anywhere in Canada: real Canadian support, fast onboarding, and Boost perks based on your processing volume.
We do most of our onboarding by phone and email, but for larger merchants in London or Southwestern Ontario we'll come in person when it makes sense. Either way, you get a real human — not a call centre.
Two to three days from start to installed. Terminal ships overnight, programmed and ready to go. Your bank account doesn't change. Your bookkeeping doesn't change. Just the processor and the terminal.
Yes. We serve every industry across London — auto repair, trades, restaurants, salons, retail, professional services, health and wellness, dental, veterinary. The only verticals we don't underwrite are high-risk industries like CBD, firearms, gambling, and adult.
Yes. Surcharging is legal in Ontario, which means London merchants can run a 2.4% credit card surcharge program and effectively pay $0 in processing fees on credit transactions. It works especially well for auto repair shops, trades, and high-ticket service businesses. Read our full surcharging guide for the details.
Same deal. We serve all of Southwestern Ontario including London, St. Thomas, Strathroy, Komoka, Dorchester, Ingersoll, and Woodstock. Nationwide processing — local support.
Send us your last statement. We'll review it, run the numbers, and tell you straight what you'd save. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you that too. No commitment, no pressure, no spam.
