This new invoice interface is currently in Closed Beta, and access is by invitation only.
At this stage, it is available exclusively on the desktop version of the platform.

New Invoice V4 introduces a redesigned invoice and payment system built specifically to support the real-world workflows of pet care businessesโ€”including boarding and daycare.

This update improves how you create estimates, collect deposits, take payments, issue refunds, and track financial records, all while reducing errors and manual work for your team.

Core Improvements

Estimate Invoice

You can now create an "Estimate Invoice" before checking out an appointment.

  • Generate an Estimate: Staff can create an estimate directly from the appointment view.

  • Customize and Confirm: The estimate can be customized with a client signature, item descriptions, and business information. It can be emailed to clients or printed out.

  • Convert to an Invoice: Once checked in, the estimate can be easily converted into an "Open" invoice to collect payment.

Deposits Rules

Our new system offers powerful and flexible tools for managing deposits.

  • Set Deposit Rules: Create deposit rules to automatically require deposits based on service type, date range, or client group.

  • Collect Deposits: The system will prompt staff to collect a deposit at booking or check-in based on the rules you've set. You can also manually take a deposit at any time.

  • Track Everything: Every deposit is tracked with an audit log, and the amount is clearly displayed on the invoice. The system automatically calculates the remaining balance at checkout.

  • Refund or Forfeit: Deposits can be easily refunded to the original payment method or forfeited (e.g., as a no-show fee), with every action logged.

Item-Level Refunds

You no longer need to refund an entire invoice to correct a single item.

  • You can now refund specific line items on an invoice.

  • The refund method will match the original payment method used.

  • A refund receipt is generated and linked to the invoice for clear tracking.

  • The refund status is clearly marked on the invoice.

Bulk Payments

In daycare and boarding businesses, staff often need to collect multiple payments from the same client across recurring visits.

  • View all unpaid invoices for a client at checkout or in their profile.

  • Select multiple invoices and combine them into a single aggregated payment.

  • Automatically apply one payment across all selected invoices.

  • Keep one clean audit trail with updated invoice statuses.
