Dumpster Controls in Canada · updated 2026-08-10

How to connect your Canadian Stripe account

Card payments in Canada run on your own Canadian Stripe account. Connecting takes about five minutes and is done once.

Before you start

  • Company country set to Canada.
  • Your business details (legal name or your own name for sole proprietors), a Canadian address, and a Canadian bank account for deposits.
  1. ## Start Stripe onboarding
    Open Settings and go to the payments/Stripe section, then click to connect your account. The embedded Stripe form opens inside the app.
  2. ## Complete the Stripe form
    Stripe asks for your business type, identity details and your Canadian bank account. This is Stripe's standard verification for Canadian businesses; Dumpster Controls never sees your banking credentials.
  3. ## Wait for the green light
    When Stripe finishes verifying, your account shows as enabled for charges and payouts. From that moment online booking, payment links and card-by-phone are live in CAD.

What happens next

  • Do a C$10+ test: create a small invoice and pay it with your own card, then refund it from Finances. You will see the whole money path end to end.

Troubleshooting

Stripe says my account cannot accept charges yet.

Verification is still pending or a requirement is missing. Reopen the onboarding form; Stripe lists exactly what it still needs. The platform blocks card surfaces until charges are enabled, so customers never hit a broken checkout.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dumpster Controls really free?

Yes. The software is free: dispatch, online booking, the driver app, invoicing, the Tresha AI assistant and every other feature, with no monthly fee, no trial period and no credit card to sign up. The only cost on the free plan is optional card processing when a customer pays by card through the platform: 2.99% plus $3.99 per transaction on the free plan. An optional Unlimited plan at $169 per month lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30. Prices as published on dumpstercontrols.io/pricing on 2026-09-23.

Do you charge per driver, per truck or per order?

No. There is no per-driver, per-truck, per-user or per-order fee, and no order limit. A company with one truck and a company with twenty pay the same for the software: nothing.

Is there a contract?

No. There is no contract, no minimum term and no setup fee. You create the account yourself, and on the free plan there is nothing to cancel because nothing is billed. The optional Unlimited plan is billed month to month.

Which countries and languages are supported?

Dumpster Controls serves hauling companies in the United States and Canada. The app interface and the Tresha AI assistant are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The public pages, such as the blog, the help center and the landfill finder, are in English.

How do I switch from another dumpster software?

Create a free account at dumpstercontrols.io/login, with no sales call and no credit card. Then import your customers from a CSV file using the template provided in the app; past orders can also be imported from a CSV. Container sizes and pricing are set up in Settings. The landfill database, with 1,750 active US and Canadian landfills as counted on 2026-10-01, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in.
