Pay-as-you-go: how usage-based billing works

PetConnect software is free to use. We do not charge a traditional per-site subscription for core salon and retail features. Revenue is based on pay-as-you-go fees on eligible transactions processed through the platform — currently 2.2% on qualifying card payments taken via integrated Adyen terminals or other billable payment flows configured for your account. SMS and some messaging features use prepaid credits. Always confirm current rates on your account or with support@pet-connect.co. This guide covers Pay-as-you-go: how usage-based billing works in the Pricing section of the PetConnect Help Center. It is written for pet grooming salons, daycare centres, and pet retailers worldwide using appointments, retail, and client messaging on one platform. Plan 45–75 minutes to read and complete the exercises in a test store before changing live settings.

Overview and why it matters

When your team works on Pay-as-you-go: how usage-based billing works, the section “Overview and why it matters” is where policy meets software. PetConnect is used by grooming salons, daycare centres, and pet retailers that cannot afford to have client records split between a calendar, a till, and a messaging app. Capture booking numbers, sale references, and screenshots when something looks wrong. Support can usually spot permission or store-context issues quickly when those three items are present.

Managers reviewing Pay-as-you-go: how usage-based billing works should treat Pricing documentation as a living playbook. The product receives minor UI improvements regularly, but the sequence—confirm store context, open the correct module, change one thing, verify with a second login—prevents most production surprises. Write internal SOPs in plain language. Link to this Help Center article instead of copying paragraphs into Word—URLs stay current when we improve wording.

Front-desk staff experience Pay-as-you-go: how usage-based billing works under time pressure on Saturdays. A laminated cheat sheet that links to this article reduces questions and stops well-meaning edits to tax or duration fields during a rush. Schedule a five-minute huddle after changes: reception, grooming lead, and retail (if applicable) each confirm their screen looks correct.

Multi-store brands must decide whether Pay-as-you-go: how usage-based billing works is standardised nationally or locally customised. PetConnect supports both, but mixed approaches only work when you document which stores are allowed to diverge. If you integrate Adyen EFT POS, run a live card payment in test mode after changing anything that touches totals, deposits, or checkout.

After a data migration, validate Pay-as-you-go: how usage-based billing works against real appointments and sales for at least one full week before telling clients that everything is settled. Barcode retail teams should scan a known product, a discontinued SKU, and a weighted item (if used) after catalog imports.

• Confirm the correct store is selected in the header
• Document who approved the change internally
