Payments for pet grooming & pet care

Regular clients, steady appointments, and a lot of small payments, often from a van. Most of those taps are Interac debit, which should be priced low and not at credit rates. We set you up clean, support card-on-file and mobile payments, and show you exactly what you pay.

Lots of small payments add up

When you groom several pets a day with regulars coming back monthly, the per-transaction fee and markup repeat constantly. A lot of those payments are Interac debit, and a flat-rate app charges the same rate on everything, so you overpay on debit that should cost less. A clean, transparent setup keeps that from quietly eating your margin. And if you’re mobile, you need to collect right at the door.

Your real rate: the equation and the gap Total fees divided by total card volume gives the effective rate, shown as $1,500 divided by $50,000 equals 3.0 percent, with two bars underneath where the effective rate stands taller than the rate you were quoted and the difference is bracketed as downgrades and junk fees. YOUR REAL RATE Total fees divided by total card volume. Two numbers from your statement, one honest answer. TOTAL FEES $1,500 everything you paid last month ÷ CARD VOLUME $50,000 everything you ran on cards = EFFECTIVE RATE 3.0% your real rate what you actually pay on every dollar, once every fee is counted the headline number The rate you were quoted QUOTED RATE DOWNGRADES + JUNK FEES 3.0% Your effective rate THE GAP Downgrades and junk fees The quoted rate only applied to some of your transactions.

What other groomers say

Common questions

I’m a mobile groomer. Can I take payment on the go?
Yes. We set you up to take payment from your phone or a mobile reader, with card-on-file so regulars can rebook without re-entering a card.
We do lots of small appointments. Does a clean rate matter?
Yes. On a lot of small payments, the per-transaction fee and markup add up across a month, so a clean setup makes a real difference.
