Tyro with and without Petboost
With Petboost
Use Tyro for walk-ins
Accept walk-in payments on your Tyro terminal while using Petboost + Stripe for booked appointments.
Record in Petboost
Mark appointments as "paid externally" so booking records stay complete.
Keep Stripe for automation
Auto-charging, pre-authorisation, and Xero Bank Feeds only work through Stripe.
Without Petboost
No link between payment and booking
Tyro processes the payment but has no connection to your appointments, services, or clients.
Manual invoicing
Invoices must be created separately. No auto-generation from booking data.
No pre-authorisation for appointments
Tyro does not validate cards before pet service appointments.
Separate reconciliation
Tyro deposits are separate from your booking data. Manual matching required.
No pet business reporting
Revenue by service type, staff, and client is not possible when payments are disconnected.
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.
