SmartPay with and without Petboost
With Petboost
Not integrated
SmartPay is not connected to Petboost. Payments processed through SmartPay are not recorded in your booking system.
Without Petboost
No booking connection
SmartPay has no connection to appointments, services, staff, or clients.
Manual everything
Invoicing, reconciliation, and reporting must be done manually in separate systems.
Minimum monthly fees
$100+GST minimum monthly merchant service fee applies, even in quiet months.
Rate not transparent
Your rate is individually calculated. You do not know your rate until you apply.
Why connect payments to your bookings?
When payments live inside your booking system, every dollar tells a story. Standalone terminals create data silos.
Trace to appointment, staff, service, and client
Every transaction automatically links to the appointment, the staff member who delivered the service, and the client and pet it was for. No manual tagging.
Auto-generated invoices with ABN and GST
Professional PDF invoices created the moment a payment is recorded. Your logo, your ABN, itemised GST. Sent to the client automatically.
Xero Bank Feeds
Stripe connects directly to Xero. Every transaction appears pre-labelled and reconciliation-ready. Zero manual data entry for your accountant.
Revenue reports by service, staff, day, and client
See revenue broken down by service type, by staff member, by day of the week, and by individual client. Average spend, rebooking rates, and trends at a glance.
