Dog daycare centres look after dogs while their owners are at work, with play, rest and supervision through the day, and some offer pick-up and drop-off. Many owners use the same centre several days every week, paying by the day, buying bundles of days or paying a monthly plan. A payments app that handles regular payments, bundles and one-off extra days simply can win dog daycare centres, and every owner who pays them sees your app.

Set up regular payments and bundles

Owners can pay a monthly plan automatically or buy a bundle of days, so the centre knows what is coming in and spends less time chasing.

Make extra days and extras simple

Grow through pet businesses

Dog daycare centres work alongside dog walkers, groomers and kennels who serve the same owners. When those businesses take payments through your app, each daycare centre can bring more of them onto it.
