The Problem

THE
PROBLEM

Every major payment processor available to Canadian businesses — Stripe, Square, PayPal — is incorporated in the United States. That means your transaction data, customer records, and revenue flow all depend on foreign infrastructure and foreign jurisdiction.

Canadian businesses deserve payment infrastructure that stays in Canada. It’s time to build on home ground.

FAQ

COMMON
QUESTIONS

What is Doura?

Doura is Canadian payments infrastructure: invoicing, merchant checkout, and payroll on one platform, built on Canadian infrastructure, owned by Canadians, and governed by Canadian law.

How is Doura different from Stripe, Square, or PayPal?

Those processors are all incorporated in the United States, so your transaction data sits under US jurisdiction. Doura keeps your company, your data, and your money in Canada, with no CLOUD Act exposure and no foreign servers.

What does the platform include?

Three integrated modules: Invoicing (branded invoices, automated reminders, online payment), Merchant Checkout (online and in person, CAD-first), and Payroll (CPP, EI, and income-tax deductions with CRA remittances filed automatically).

Does Doura handle Canadian payroll and CRA remittances?

Yes. CPP, EI, and income tax are calculated and remitted automatically, T4 slips are generated at year end, and all provincial employment standards are built in.

Is my data kept in Canada?

Yes. All transaction data is stored exclusively on servers in Canada, PIPEDA-compliant by design, with no US data-centre dependency and no CLOUD Act exposure.

How do I get started?

Doura is in early access. Request a demo and we will map your current setup on a 30-minute call, configure Doura for your business, handle migration from your existing processor, and get you running, usually within one business day.
