Accept Cards In Person with a Tap.
Professional card reader (WisePOS E) fully integrated with your Petboost calendar for seamless in-person payments.
Some customers prefer to pay at the counter, and you should be ready. The Petboost card reader (powered by Stripe Terminal and the WisePOS E device) lets you accept tap, chip, and swipe payments in person, fully connected to your appointment system. Payments are automatically recorded against the appointment with zero double entry.
You have a separate card machine from your bank that has nothing to do with your booking software. Every in-person payment requires you to key in the amount manually, then go back to Petboost and mark the appointment as paid. Two systems, double the work, and reconciliation at the end of the day is a headache.

"The customer service is out of this world"
"You won't regret joining…it's the best. I own a dog daycare, grooming and training. I was using an American company for 6 years, which was ok but expensive, not a great system and to get any support took days. When I came to Petboost which is Ozzy owned I knew they were a small business but wanted to give them a go. I have been extremely impressed, the customer service is out of this world, they focus on what animal businesses actually need and listen to their clients. The pricing structure makes sense and is very affordable, it is very easy to use and navigate, and the way they have built the business reports and analytics is so impressive, easy to understand and personalised."

"The automatic payments feature is a blessing"
"Streamlined Invoicing and Booking for Small Teams. I really like how much quicker and easier Petboost Business has become after the upgrades. The automatic payments feature is a blessing as it helps me not to stress, and the self-booking option for clients is amazing for my business! These features ease the mental load and reduce manual admin tasks, allowing me to focus on what I do best."

"I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show"
"Just try it, you won't look back. The moment I turned Petboost on for my business, I never looked back. I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show. I no longer have to manually reconcile payments either. Now I can finally get time to do other things in my business instead of sitting in front of a screen for 'admin days'."
