Payments tuned for pet boarding & daycare

Pet Boarding & Daycare is not a generic retail template, and your processing setup should not behave like one. In practice: reservations and deposits.

Pet Boarding & Daycare is not a generic retail template, and your processing setup should not behave like one. In practice: reservations and deposits collected up front, with saved cards for regulars. Cost and risk spike when fraud and chargebacks on card-not-present orders, or when chasing invoices and waiting on checks to clear. You get fraud & chargeback tools, straightforward, flexible terms backed by our written savings guarantee, and a written savings guarantee behind the rate.
