Merchant Accounts Built Specifically For Pet Salons
Are you running a dog grooming studio or pet grooming salon? If yes, then your salon must be based on appointments. Customers book time slots and visit your salon for numerous services like nail trimming and grooming. So your payment system must handle frequent small to medium payments and repeated customers effectively.
Chargeback issues are higher in pet grooming salons. Customers may not be happy with grooming results and sometimes they directly connect with the bank for a chargeback. Payment processors can freeze the money or terminate the account permanently if it gets a repeated chargeback issue.
QuadraPay provides pet salon payment processing solutions in the United States, New Zealand, Australia, the UK, the EU, and Canada. We connect pet salon businesses with the PSP that truly understands the industry. Our vetted PSP partners issue pet salon merchant accounts that are designed specially for this business.
Common Payment Problems Faced By Pet Salons
Account Freezes
Pet Salons usually take deposits for securing their customer appointments. Sometimes the customer disputes a deposit or asks for a refund. If the payment processor finds frequent refunds, then it can freeze the account for several days. It can adversely affect the cash flow of the pet grooming business.
Chargebacks
Sometimes a customer misses an appointment and asks the bank to refund the entire amount. If the bank receives multiple chargebacks, then it considers it a red flag. It can freeze the funds or suspend the account permanently.
High Decline Rates On Contactless Transactions
Many customers are now paying with contactless cards or mobile wallets. Normal payment systems can decline the payments as they are new. Declined payment can upset the customer. It adversely affects the reputation of the business.
Why Do Pet Salons Need Specialized Payment Processing?
Pet salons require special payment processing because of the following reasons.
Appointment Based
Pet grooming salons completely work on booking. Customers call or book an appointment for their pet grooming many days in advance. Pet salons usually take the complete money or part of the total money while booking appointments. The salon further takes the rest of the money after the grooming. Normal payment processors may treat advance bookings as unusual activity and can freeze the funds for 90-120 days. It may temporarily stop the payment processing, which can adversely affect the reputation of the pet salon. The payment system of a pet salon must handle advance bookings, cancellations, and refunds. QuadraPay provides pet grooming payment processing solutions that can handle advance booking easily.
Same Day Service Charges
The final price of a pet grooming salon is sometimes different from the original booking price. When the customer arrives with the pet, then the groomer sees that the pet needs extra services like nail trimming or special shampoo. These extra services increase the final cost. The customer needs to pay a little more than discussed earlier during the checkout process. The payment system of the saloon should be designed in such a way that it can easily change the final price. The transaction can fail or create confusion if it cannot do it effectively. QuadraPay provides dog grooming merchant services securely and reliably to the customer. It structures the high-risk pet grooming merchant account in a way that pet salons can easily adjust the final amount before charging their customer.
Tips Added At Checkout
Giving tips is quite common in pet grooming salons. Many customers love to give a tip to the groomer if they are happy with the service. It means the final price will be higher than the actual booking price. The payment system of the groomer should easily add tips to the final price before it charges the customer. If the payment system does not support it, then the staff needs to make a separate bill for tip transactions, which can create confusion and may lead to errors. If the pet salon payment gateway is not designed specially for pet grooming businesses, then changing the price at the last moment may look suspicious to the bank. QuadraPay provides pet salon payment processing solutions that can effectively add tips to the final price before the checkout.
Recurring Grooming Membership
Many pet salons offer recurring grooming membership services. It means customers pay an amount every month for a package like nail trimming, bathing, and special treatments. The membership plan allows the salon to plan their schedule properly. They can know which pet will come every month for grooming or trimming. Pet salons should handle recurring payments, i.e., it needs to charge a particular amount from the credit card of the customer every month for the grooming service. QuadraPay provides effective payment processing for pet salons, which can handle recurring payments easily.
High Customer Return Rates
Pet salons are a repeat service business. Most customers return within a gap of 15 days to one month for grooming their pets. This creates frequent transactions from the same customer, which is good for the business. Seasonal spikes, especially in summer months or holidays, increase the transaction. But if the pet salon uses a basic payment system, then the bank can find suspicious activity if there are frequent transactions from a single customer. QuadraPay provides effective pet salon credit card processing solutions. We structure the pet grooming POS system in a way that can handle frequent transactions from the same customer properly.
