Recurring & subscription billing
Memberships and recurring plans run on Stripe, so a regular's plan bills on schedule without someone re-running the card each month.
Payments
Clients pay online. You stop chasing balances.
Your clients pay their balance online, right in your branded BarkWhiz portal — the same place they book and check on their dog. Deposits are collected at booking, your books stay in sync through the live QuickBooks integration, and the front desk fields far fewer “what do I owe?” calls.

Get paid without the front-desk chase
Balances get paid online, deposits land at booking, and every payment flows into your accounting — so “what do I owe?” and end-of-night reconciliation stop eating your evenings.
Pay online
Clients pay their balance online
Your clients see what they owe and pay it from your branded portal — the same place they book and check on their dog. Deposits are collected the moment they book, so you're not starting every stay owed money. Card payments are processed securely by Stripe, so sensitive card details never sit in your account.
- Clients pay their balance from your branded portal, no phone call
- Deposits collected at booking, before the stay begins
- Payments processed securely by Stripe — you don't store card data
Accounting sync
Your books stay in sync
QuickBooks is a live BarkWhiz integration — the only third-party accounting integration we run today. Invoices and payments flow straight into your accounting, so the money you take in and the numbers in your books stay in agreement, and you're not re-keying receipts by hand after close.
- Invoices and payments flow into QuickBooks automatically
- No re-keying receipts by hand at the end of the night
- What you take in and what's in your books stay in agreement
Deposits & policies
Deposits and policies do the work for you
A deposit at booking and a clear cancellation policy do the awkward work your front desk shouldn't have to. Clients agree to the terms up front, no-shows cost less, and nobody has to have the uncomfortable “so, about the deposit” conversation over the counter. It all rides on the same reservations your day already runs on.
- Deposits collected at booking, agreed to before it's confirmed
- Cancellation policies shown up front, so there's no surprise later
- Fewer no-shows and fewer awkward front-desk conversations
…and more
You don't store card data
Sensitive card details are handled by Stripe, not kept in your BarkWhiz account — so the riskiest data never sits with you.
Fewer balance-chase calls
When clients can see and pay what they owe themselves, the front desk fields far fewer “what do I owe?” calls — and spends less of the day chasing money.
Built by an operator
I spent too many nights reconciling money by hand
"Across more than ten years running pet-care operations — two Sit Means Sit locations in Dallas and College Station — the part that quietly drained me wasn't the dogs. It was the money. Chasing balances at pickup, fielding ‘wait, what do I owe?’ calls, then sitting down at night to reconcile it all by hand.
So in BarkWhiz, clients pay their balance online themselves, deposits get collected at booking, and payments flow into QuickBooks so the books match without me re-keying receipts after close. It's the boring part of the business, finally handled."

Straight talk on what it is
Clients pay their balances online today — it's live in early access. Payments run on Stripe: Stripe is the processor that handles card data securely, not a marketed integration. The one live third-party accounting integration is QuickBooks, which keeps your invoices and payments in sync. We don't claim in-person card terminals or a full POS — this is online balance payments and deposits at booking. See how the pieces connect on integrations, or where it sits in pricing.
Works with the rest of BarkWhiz
Payments aren't a bolt-on — they run off the same bookings, portal, and accounting sync as the rest of your day.
Payment questions, answered
Clients pay online, through your branded BarkWhiz portal. They see what they owe and pay their balance from the same place they book and view their dog's record — no front-desk phone call, no separate payment link to hunt for. Deposits can also be collected at the moment they book.
Yes. QuickBooks is a live BarkWhiz integration, and it's the only third-party accounting integration we run today.

Payments run on Stripe. Card payments are processed securely by Stripe, the same infrastructure used by a large share of online businesses. BarkWhiz doesn't store client card data — Stripe handles it — so sensitive card details never sit in your BarkWhiz account.
