Payment processing fees — them vs us

Based on a facility processing $15,000/month. Higher revenue = higher savings.

Supported payment processors

Stripe

2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. The most popular online payment processor. One-click OAuth connection — log into Stripe, authorize, and you are live. Supports cards, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay.

Square

2.6% + $0.10 per transaction. Lower per-transaction cost than Stripe. Great if you also use Square terminals in-store. One-click connection through OAuth.

Stripe

Connect your own Stripe account in Settings in under two minutes. Every invoice, deposit, and recurring charge flows straight to your bank account.

PayPal

Accept PayPal payments, Venmo, and credit cards. Connect your PayPal Business account and receive payments directly. Clients pay with their PayPal balance or any saved card.

Text-to-Pay

Send a client a secure payment link by text when their pet is ready. They pay from their phone — no terminal needed.

Any Processor

We support payment link and API integrations for any processor. If your processor has an API, we can connect it. No lock-in to any single provider.

Why this matters for your business

Your Money, Your Control

Payments go from client → your processor → your bank account. Animal Friends OS never holds, delays, or takes a percentage of your revenue. You see every deposit in your own merchant dashboard.

No Revenue Sharing

They make money on every groom, every boarding stay, every daycare check-in. We don't. We make money on the $69/month subscription and nothing else.

Switch Anytime

Found a processor with lower rates? Switch in 5 minutes. No approval from us, no migration process, no penalty. You control your payment stack completely.

Real Savings at Scale

A facility processing $15,000/month saves $3,600–$5,400/year in processing markups alone. At $25,000/month, savings exceed $6,000–$9,000/year. The more you grow, the more you save.

Transparent Billing

Your software bill is $69/month. Your processor bill is whatever your processor charges. Two separate, transparent bills. No hidden fees bundled into one confusing invoice.

Keep Your Existing Processor

Already have a great rate with your bank or a processor? Keep it. No need to switch. Just connect your existing account and keep the relationship and rates you already negotiated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What payment processors does Animal Friends OS support?

Stripe is the processor you can connect today — bring your own account and every payment goes directly to your bank account. Square is visible in Settings but not yet connectable pending our rollout; PayPal, Clover, and Authorize.net are not offered. We never see, hold, or take a cut of your money.

Does Animal Friends OS charge any payment processing fees?

Zero. We charge $0 in payment processing fees. Your payment processor charges their standard rate (e.g., Stripe at 2.9% + $0.30, Square at 2.6% + $0.10), but that money goes to the processor — not to us. We never add a surcharge, markup, or percentage on top.

Can I switch payment processors anytime?

Stripe is the processor Animal Friends OS connects to today, and it is your own account — no lock-in, no migration fees, no approval process from us. We will add more processor options as they roll out.

Where does the money go when a client pays?

Directly to your bank account through your payment processor. The payment flow is: client pays → your processor (Stripe) receives → your processor deposits to your bank account. Animal Friends OS facilitates the transaction but never touches the funds. Your money is always in your control.

Do I need a developer to set up payment processing?

No. You connect your own Stripe account with a simple OAuth flow — click "Connect", log into Stripe, and authorize. It takes under five minutes and needs no developer. Stripe is the only processor that can be connected today; Square appears in Settings but is not connectable yet.
