Dumpster Controls in Canada · updated 2026-08-10
The software is free. When a customer pays by card, the charge carries the Stripe Canada processing fee plus the Dumpster Controls fee, both itemized and deducted automatically at charge time.
Stripe Canada charges 2.9% + C$0.30 per domestic card transaction (international cards cost slightly more, per Stripe's public pricing). Dumpster Controls charges 0.5% + C$2.00 per transaction as an application fee. Example on a C$500 charge: roughly C$14.80 to Stripe and C$4.50 to Dumpster Controls; about C$480.70 lands in your Stripe balance.
In your booking and invoice settings you choose the card fee handling: the customer pays the fee on top, your company absorbs it, or you split it 50/50. This works the same as for US companies, just calculated with the Canadian rates.
Your Finances page (in CAD) lists each transaction with the exact Dumpster Controls fee next to it, and your Stripe Dashboard shows the Stripe fee per charge. Nothing is hidden in an exchange rate because there is no exchange.
