How to grow your payments app with kennels and catteries

Kennels and catteries look after dogs and cats while their owners travel, with busy times in school holidays and at Christmas. Most need a deposit to hold a booking and the rest on collection, and no-shows at peak times cost them money. A payments app that takes deposits by link and the final payment at pick-up can win these businesses, and every pet owner who pays sees your app.

Hold bookings with a deposit
A payment link sent when a stay is booked secures the space and cuts no-shows in the busiest weeks.

Get paid at pick-up
A link or QR code at collection lets owners pay the balance quickly, so there is no queue at the door.
Grow through pet owners
Pet owners use groomers, dog walkers and vets too, and share tips with each other. One boarding business on your app can bring many of them to it.
