Animal Friends OS + Stripe

Accept Payments Your Way

Animal Friends OS connects directly to your own Stripe account. You keep 100% of your revenue minus standard Stripe fees. No middleman markup. No per-transaction surcharge from us.

You choose your integrations. We never lock you in.

Animal Friends OS lets you bring your own Stripe account, your own SMS provider, and your own accounting system, instead of forcing you onto a bundled stack.

How the Integration Works

Connect your existing Stripe account in under two minutes. Navigate to Settings, click Payment Processor, select Stripe, and paste your API keys. Animal Friends OS handles the rest. Every invoice, point-of-sale charge, recurring membership payment, and online booking deposit flows through your Stripe account directly. We never touch your money.

What Data Syncs

Payments, refunds, and payouts sync in real time. When a client pays at checkout or through the client portal, the charge appears in your Stripe dashboard immediately. Refunds processed in Animal Friends OS reflect in Stripe within seconds. Payment metadata includes client name, pet name, service type, and invoice number so your bookkeeping stays clean without manual entry.

Supported Payment Methods

Accept credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH bank transfers. Set up recurring billing for memberships and subscription packages. Clients can pay from their phone when you send an SMS invoice link, or enter a card at the front desk.

Setup in Three Steps

Step one: create a free Stripe account at stripe.com if you do not already have one. Step two: copy your publishable and secret API keys from the Stripe dashboard. Step three: paste them into Animal Friends OS under Settings and click Connect. The system validates the connection and you are ready to charge within sixty seconds.

Why This Matters for Your Pet Business

With Animal Friends OS, you bring your own Stripe account and pay only standard Stripe rates: 2.9% + 30 cents for online, 2.7% + 5 cents for in-person. No hidden fees. No revenue sharing. Your money goes to your bank account on your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Stripe account already?
No. You can create a free Stripe account in minutes. Animal Friends OS walks you through the connection process.
Does Animal Friends OS take a cut of my transactions?
Never. You pay standard Stripe processing fees and nothing else. We do not add any markup or per-transaction surcharge.
Is Stripe the only processor I can connect?
Yes, today. Square is visible in Settings but not yet connectable — it is gated pending our processor rollout. Clover and Authorize.net are not offered. Stripe is the only processor you can connect in-app right now.
