Mississauga has more small businesses per square kilometre than almost any city in Canada. Most of them are stuck with processors that overcharge and disappear. Dough is the Canadian processor giving back — lower fees, free websites, real human support.
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.
Mississauga has 770,000 people and over 90,000 businesses. The big processors treat it like a row in a spreadsheet — same templated rates, same 1-800 support, same nothing-in-return.
Dough does it differently. Lower fees, plus we put our margin back into your business through the Boost program — free website, free social content, free custom AI, free review cards.
And when you call us, you get a real person who knows your account. Not a queue. Not a bot. A founder who picks up.
Mississauga's economy is built on logistics, trades, professional services, and a massive retail base. From Square One to Port Credit to the industrial parks off Dixie — we process for shops, offices, and trades across the whole city.
Mechanics and body shops across Dundas, Dixie, and Hurontario. High average tickets — surcharging math works perfectly.

See salon pricing →Ron ran a transmission shop in the GTA. 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.

The big banks built their merchant services for downtown Toronto. Mississauga gets the leftover template. Here's what changes when you switch to a Canadian processor that actually serves the city.
What you get with the big four
What you get with us
Yes. Every neighbourhood — Square One, Port Credit, Streetsville, Meadowvale, Erin Mills, Cooksville, Clarkson, Mavis, Heartland, the industrial parks off Dixie. If you're processing cards anywhere in Mississauga, we serve your business.
Two to three days from start to installed. Underwriting takes one to two business days. The terminal ships pre-programmed and arrives within another day or two. You plug it in and process. Your bank account doesn't change. Your bookkeeping doesn't change. Just the processor and the terminal.
Yes. Surcharging is legal in Ontario, which means Mississauga merchants can run a 2.4% credit card surcharge program and effectively pay $0 in processing fees on credit transactions. It's particularly good for auto repair shops, trades, and high-ticket service businesses across the city.
Read our full surcharging guide for the details on how it works, signage requirements, and where it fits best.
Lower rates, more pricing flexibility, real human support, and the Boost program — free websites, free social media content, free custom AI tools based on your processing volume. Big banks give you a 1-800 number and nothing else. We give you a partner.
The pricing models matter too. Big banks lock you into tiered pricing where the markup hides in the non-qualified tier. We offer surcharging, dual pricing, Interchange Plus, or flat rate — pick what fits your business.
Yes. We serve every industry across Mississauga — 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.
The full Clover lineup — Clover Flex (most popular), Clover Mini, Clover Station Duo, Clover Flex Pocket — plus the Newland N910 and Ingenico Desk 5000. For online or B2B businesses, we set up Authorize.Net or Converge. See all terminals.
Terminal pricing is determined on the sales call based on your contract structure. Free terminals are available for qualified Pro and Premium tier merchants.
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.
