Winnipeg has 750,000 people and a small business community that's been holding up the Manitoba economy for decades. Most of you are stuck with big-bank 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.
Winnipeg is one of the most overlooked markets in Canadian merchant services. The big banks built their merchant services for Bay Street. The US processors built theirs for Manhattan. Both treat the prairies like an afterthought.
Dough does it differently. Same lower fees, same Boost program, same real-human support whether you're in Winnipeg, Toronto, or Hamilton. Manitoba businesses get the same product the GTA businesses get — period.
And when you call us, you get a real person who knows your account. Not a 1-800 queue that bounces between time zones. Not a chatbot. A founder who picks up.
Winnipeg's economy runs on trades, retail, hospitality, and a deep small-business base. From Osborne Village to Corydon to The Forks to Transcona — we process for shops, offices, and trades across the whole city.
Mechanics and body shops across Pembina, Portage, St. James, and Transcona. High average tickets — surcharging math works perfectly.
See auto repair pricing →HVAC, plumbing, electrical, contractors serving the city and the Perimeter. Big tickets, on-site invoicing, surcharge-friendly.
See trades pricing →From Corydon to Exchange District to The Forks. Clover Station Duo POS, tip-friendly setup, fast switchovers.
See restaurant pricing →Independent shops across Osborne Village, the Exchange, and the bigger plazas. Boost includes a free website to compete with the chains.
See retail pricing →Lawyers, accountants, consultants across downtown and the South End. Predictable volume, clean rates, professional online presence.
See professional services pricing →Hair, beauty, and wellness across Corydon, St. Vital, and Charleswood. Boost gets you a real booking-ready website and monthly social content.
See salon pricing →Ron ran a transmission shop and Chase had been creeping his rates for years. Statements were a mess. He couldn't tell what he was actually paying. Sound familiar to any Winnipeg shop owner.
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. Winnipeg gets the same templated rates, the same 1-800 queue, and the same nothing-in-return. Here's what changes when you switch to a Canadian processor that actually treats prairie businesses like a priority.
What you get with the big four
What you get with us
Yes. We process for businesses across Canada, and Winnipeg merchants get the same product, same pricing, same support as our GTA customers. No 'prairie premium', no overlooked status. Same lower fees, same Boost program, same real-human service.
Two to three days from start to installed. The terminal ships pre-programmed for your business — you plug it in and process. Underwriting takes one to two business days. The terminal arrives via courier within another day or two. Your bank account doesn't change. Your bookkeeping doesn't change. Just the processor and the terminal.
Yes. Surcharging is legal in Manitoba — same as Ontario and most of Canada. Winnipeg 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.
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 Winnipeg — 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.
No. Most of our Winnipeg merchants onboard remotely — sending us a statement, talking by phone, signing electronically, and getting the terminal couriered out. The whole thing takes two to three days. If you do want a video walkthrough during setup, we'll book one.
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.
