Get paid up front.
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.
Payments built for the way you work.
Wherever an owner books, the money arrives the same way: paid, into your own bank, with the fee shown on each.
At booking
Payment is taken when the booking is made, so the diary only holds real, paid bookings.
At the counter
Staff text or email a pay link from the phone in their hand, and the owner pays on their own screen.
In the Dogdoor
The next visit and a pack of visits, paid in a tap from your icon on the owner's home screen.
On every report card
The card's rebook button is the next paid checkout, with the usual groom and groomer already picked.
On the Marketplace
New customers find you, then book and pay in about a minute with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card.
Effortless payments, from booking to pickup.
Paid when the booking lands, into your own bank, with nothing for your team to chase.
Paid when it lands
Payment is taken when the booking is made, so the diary only holds real, paid bookings.
Apple Pay and Google Pay
Owners pay with the wallet already on their phone. No card typing, no forms, no account to make.
Your own bank
Payouts go to your own bank account through Stripe, with your shop's name on the owner's statement.
Built-in security
Card details go straight to Stripe and never touch dogmode, and a refund or a payout asks for your password again.
It reconciles itself
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.
Everything under one roof
Bookings, payments, packs, tips and refunds in the same diary and the same money view, per branch and in total.
Love at first tap.
Say goodbye to chasing payments: every way an owner pays is one tap on their own phone.
Apple Pay and Google Pay
One-tap Apple Pay, Google Pay and card. Customers never leave the page. Powered by Stripe.
Deposits
Take a deposit up front for boarding and collect the balance later. Charge a set amount, half the stay, or one night's stay. Your call, per service.
Packs
Sell a block of grooms or daycare days in one checkout. Owners see and spend their remaining visits with just their phone number and a one-time code. No password, ever.
Tips
Owners can add a tip at checkout when the day deserves it. Tips settle to the shop, with a clear per-staff report inside the app.
Pay links
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.
Secure every stay with a deposit or full payment.
Take a deposit up front for boarding and collect the balance later. Charge a set amount, half the stay, or one night's stay. Your call, per service. Available today. You switch it on in Settings when you want it.
Tips for great work, per groomer.
Owners can add a tip at checkout when the day deserves it. Tips settle to the shop, with a clear per-staff report inside the app.
Keep the owner's card for the next visit.
When an owner books a repeat, they agree at checkout to keep their card for the visits that follow. Each one is charged seven days before, and a kept card is never written down as paid.
Popular ways to pay.
The ways dog owners already pay, on the phone in their hand, in every country we work in.
Visa
Debit and credit cards, typed once at checkout or kept for the next visit.
Mastercard
Debit and credit, taken online at booking or by a link from the counter.
Apple Pay
One tap with Face ID on iPhone, and no card to type.
Google Pay
One tap on Android, with the card already in the phone's wallet.
A pay link
Texted or emailed from the counter, and paid on the owner's own screen.
Take payment at the counter, with no card terminal to buy.
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.
We take security seriously.
Card details never touch us
Payments run on Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified provider: card numbers go straight to Stripe, never to dogmode.
Your password, again, for money
An instant payout, a refund or a change of bank asks the signed-in person for their password again, so a shared desk cannot move money.
Your own bank, your rules
Every payout lands in your own bank under your shop's name, and nothing refunds on its own: money only moves when a person acts.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly couldn’t be happier with Bubbles groom! Shermika did such an amazing job getting my little boy birthday ready for his 7th! She was incredibly gentle, patient and genuinely passionate about her work. Bubbles can get a little anxious due to his health conditions (so can I 😅) and despite having matting she handled everything with so much care and had him looking absolutely perfect in no time! His teddy bear cut was EXACTLY what I wanted and the little pom poms were the sweetest finishing touch 🐻🥹 He came home looking adorable and smelling so amazing I genuinely couldn’t stop cuddling and sniffing him! 😂 She even made him his own personalised report card with his little quirks, personality and behaviours which was just the most thoughtful surprise! It’s those little extra touches that show how much someone truly loves what they do. So grateful we found her. Thank you for making my birthday boy look and feel so special! 🩵🐾”See more

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost?
We keep one all-in rate on bookings we drive and you keep the rest. That rate includes card processing, with a small minimum per payment; your country's is on the pricing page. 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.
Do my customers need an account or a password?
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.
When do I get the money?
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.
Do I have to take payments online?
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.
Do I need a merchant account?
No merchant account to set up. Payments are powered by Stripe and take minutes to switch on.
Are payments on dogmode secure?
Yes. Payments run on Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified provider: card details go straight to Stripe and never touch dogmode, and every payout lands in your own bank account.
Can I take a deposit for a boarding stay?
Take a deposit up front for boarding and collect the balance later. Charge a set amount, half the stay, or one night's stay. Your call, per service. Available today. You switch it on in Settings when you want it.
Can an owner leave a tip?
Owners can add a tip at checkout when the day deserves it. Tips settle to the shop, with a clear per-staff report inside the app.
How do refunds work?
Refund in two taps, full or partial, right from the transaction. Nothing refunds on its own: money only moves when a person acts.
What does my accountant get?
A GST-annotated CSV made for your accountant. Counter payments land in the same view as online ones, with the fee shown on each.
