Groomed dog after a professional pet salon appointment

Salon & van ops · Pet grooming

Bella is fluffy. The card swipe can wait outside the van.

Grooming hand-offs are loud, wiggly, and the worst time to fumble a terminal. PayXT lets you text an itemized checkout the moment the bow goes on—so payment is done before pickup energy peaks.

Three reasons groomers switch from door-swipe POS

Pay-before-pickup

Owners get the SMS while you finish cologne. They pay in the parking lot—not while holding a squirming dog.

Add-ons never forgotten

Nails, teeth, de-shed, and bows become line items on the same link.

Van-native

Mobile groomers do not need a counter. Phone + Stripe Checkout is the register.

Suggested van workflow

Groom complete → Open PayXT → select pet owner → Tap Full Groom + add-ons → SMS Stripe link → Owner pays → Confirm Paid → bring pet out

Pet grooming FAQs

Can I store regulars’ phones for faster checkout?

Yes—save frequent payers (up to 5 slots in Settings) for your top regulars, or add numbers as you go from the dashboard.

What about no-show / late cancel fees?

Send a small PayXT invoice for your cancel policy fee. Collection still depends on your client agreement; the tool just delivers the checkout.

Do cats and dogs need different price lists?

Save separate quick services (e.g., Cat full groom vs Dog breed package) so pricing stays consistent across groomers.
