A booking on DogMode Checkout is paid the moment it lands, so the diary only holds real bookings and no-shows drop. Add deposits for stays, sell packages up front, take tips for great work, and watch every dollar in one place.
The groom is finished, the owner is at the desk, and they want to pay now. Staff send a link from the phone already in their hand, and the owner taps to pay on their own screen. It is done before the lead is back on the hook.
Text or email a link for anything from $0.50 to $5,000. Emailing a link is always free. Texting is included on a paid plan.
Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card, on the owner's own screen. No account, no password, nothing to download. Links stay payable for up to 7 days and can be re-sent.
The payment attaches to the customer, and to the dog when the sale names one, so it shows in their history instead of sitting somewhere separate. A walk-in with no record becomes a saved customer as they pay.
Counter payments land in the same money view as your online ones, with the fee shown on each, refunds two taps away, and a CSV that works out the GST inside each gross amount for your accountant.
This takes payment for a dog service in person. It is not a retail point of sale system: there is no card reader, no cash drawer, no product inventory and no barcode scanning. If you sell bags of food off a shelf, that side of the shop still needs its own system. What you will not need is a terminal, a merchant account, or a monthly rental to take a card.
This is not a bolt-on till. Each checkout builds a client profile, preloads the report card, and sets up the next one-tap rebooking. A single visit turns into a habit.
Owners pay with the wallet already on their phone. No card typing, no forms, no account to make.
Every checkout quietly creates the owner and dog profile: the client list a booking tool alone never builds for you.
That profile preloads the end-of-day card, so your team sends it in seconds.
The card's one-tap rebook, with packages and a cart, is the next paid checkout. The loop starts paying for itself.
Not ready for online payments? Book through the card and collect at the counter: cash, bank transfer, whatever works for you. Payments switch on when you are.
No merchant account to set up. Payments are powered by Stripe and take minutes to switch on.
Run your diary in Bookly? Bookings and payments still land there, so nothing changes for staff.
We keep 3.95% on bookings we drive and you keep the rest. That one rate includes card processing, with a 50 cent minimum per payment. Those fees replace your subscription dollar for dollar, so a shop running its payments through DogMode pays $0 for the software. The owner never pays a surcharge.
Never. Owners tap to pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay, and returning customers are recognised by phone or email. No login, no password, no app to download.
Money settles to your own bank account through Stripe, with every payout explained in the app. Your shop's name shows on the owner's statement.
No. Bookings run through DogMode either way, and you can collect at the counter however you like. Switch on DogMode Checkout payments whenever you want bookings paid up front, and your booking fees start covering your subscription.
“People pick the bigger service when they can see what it actually is, instead of me describing it over the phone. And they add the teeth clean themselves, which they never did when it meant asking me for it.”
